Pathways to Politics for Women -2024

Equipping diverse women to boldly embrace their political ambitions, thrive as leaders and make a profound contribution to society.

• Learn to be the politician you want to be in a safe, inclusive space
• Gain first-hand insights from prominent politicians, advisors, speechwriters and media trainers to give you confidence and clarity about your future in politics
• Help shape Australia’s political landscape
• Accessible, diverse and fully funded

Pathways to Politics for Women programs are open to women across Australia. They embrace an inclusive definition of ‘women’, acknowledging the diversity of women they work with and aim to support, including cisgender and transgender women, and non-binary people.

Participants are selected on a competitive basis. The selection process actively works to minimise barriers to entering politics, and prioritises community and professional experience as well as commitment to running for office.

The selection criteria are as follows:

• Commitment to seeking elected office
• Professional and life experience
• Political engagement
• Ability to tell your story in a compelling way.
