The Tasmanian Leaders Program is Tasmania’s unmatched leadership program.

It is an intensive year-long action learning program focused on building the capacity and connectivity of high-potential leaders across all sectors of Tasmanian society.

Program fees

Tasmanian Leaders subsidises program fees for participants and their organisations thanks to the generous support of our committed sponsors, including foundation support from the Tasmanian Government through the Department of State Growth.

Total program fees for 2026 are $9,960 (incl. GST), shared by participants and their employers.

Fees are divided into two components to ensure a tangible commitment from participants and their employers to undertake the program:

Participant contribution

The amount payable by participants on the program is $1,430 (incl. GST). $600 of this amount is payable at the time of acceptance of a place on the Program (Nov-Dec 2025) and the remainder before the first Residential (Jan-Feb 2026).

Employer / sponsor contribution

The amount payable by a participant’s employer (or other sponsor) is $8,530 (incl. GST). This amount is payable before 30 January 2026. In most circumstances, if you are self-employed, or not currently employed, you will be required to pay both the employer/sponsor fee and the participant contribution.

The program fees cover the cost of program materials, networking events, field trips, meals and accommodation at each of the three Residentials, as well as lunches and morning and afternoon teas at each of the seven Linking Sessions.

Not included in the program fees are the participant’s transport to or from the Residentials or the Linking Sessions (participants often carpool), nor accommodation for the Linking Sessions (if required).

Scholarships

Tasmanian Leaders is committed to the selection of participants with diverse backgrounds and it is our policy that there should be no economic or other barriers for individuals to participate. We understand that there may be some applicants for whom the above financial contributions could
create a difficulty and as such we work with a number of key partners to provide select scholarships.

Scholarships help individuals and organisations cover all, or a portion of the Program fee to build capacity in a particular community or industry, based on the priorities of the scholarship partners.

A range of scholarships are available to help individuals and organisations with Tasmanian Leaders Program fees. Check current scholarships for further information, 2026 scholarships announcement coming soon.

In exceptional circumstances the Board of Tasmanian Leaders may provide a discount to successful candidates who are ineligible for any of our scholarships and cannot afford the Program fees.

Please contact our Program Coordinator to discuss, in confidence, your circumstances should you have a need to apply for this discount.
