The Tasmanian Leaders Program selection panel reviews all applications and prepares a shortlist for interview. Shortlisted applicants for 2027 should prepare for interviews in late October.

Notification

We aim to let applicants know by mid-December of the outcome of their application.

Re-Applying

Every year many highly qualified applicants are not chosen for the Tasmanian Leaders Program. Program places are hotly contested, with strict limitations on the number of participants and diversity requirements.

If you are not successful, we do encourage you to reapply in subsequent years.
