National Leadership Forum
Values | Compassion | Connection
14th - 17th September 2023
A Four Day Program Growing Future Australian Leaders
National Leadership Forum is Australia’s leading event for developing young leaders.
The National Leadership Forum is different from other leadership programs in that it brings together young leaders from across Australia and the Pacific to explore and expand their leadership through the lens of values, compassion, and connection.
First established in 1997, the Forum has become one of Australia’s preeminent leadership development initiatives, each year gathering a community devoted to serving and encouraging young Australians.
Over 4 days, young leaders will spend time alongside Members of Parliament, leaders of business, and other young leaders from various stages of life to consider who they are as leaders, how they can expand their leadership repertoire, and how they may use their authentic leadership to serve others.

Over 20 Years of Exploring Leadership
Since its inception in 1997, the Forum has brought together over 2,700 young emerging leaders from across Australia and the Pacific nations to explore the foundations of their leadership.
With a diversity of intellectual, cultural and religious backgrounds represented, the Forum is an opportunity for young leaders to discuss ideas, explore concepts of leadership, and build networks of young leaders from across Australia and the Pacific.
Over the last 21 years, the Forum has been a nexus of emerging leadership with a focus on values, compassion, and connection.
