Applications are now open for the 2025 Peter Cullen Trust Leadership Program.

Applications are now invited for the Peter Cullen Trust’s 2025 Leadership Program. The Trust’s highly regarded flagship Program enables the people at the forefront of Australia’s water and environment sector to develop their leadership capabilities, communication skills and ability to drive change.

The Program is designed to have transformative, lasting impact, not just temporary inspiration. With limited numbers of participants, this remarkable journey significantly changes the clarity, confidence, shared vision and strategic capability of each participant, and enhances their capacity to lead within their organisations and communities. Upon graduation, participants enter the Trust’s Fellowship of supportive and influential peers. The PCT Fellows Network now numbers over 300 people, many of whom now occupy influential senior positions. The PCT Fellows Network offers graduates opportunities for ongoing engagement and development, as well as access to invaluable mentoring opportunities.

The Trust is inviting applications from professionals who are actively involved in water and environmental science, systems, policy, advocacy, or management. In addition to opportunities for individuals to be sponsored by their organisations, the Trust has a limited number of scholarships available.

The 2025 Program will be held across two week-long sessions in Canberra and Melbourne:

Session 1: Canberra 2-7 March 2025

Session 2: Melbourne 4-8 May 2025

Applications will close on 17 November 2024.

The Trust will be presenting an online information session for sponsors and applicants on Tuesday 20 August, 1.00-2.00pm AEST. If you wish to register for that session, please do so here: https://events.humanitix.com/peter-cullen-trust-leadership-program-information-session.
