As a fellow, you will:
- Travel to Canberra and join an international delegation

Start by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI). If shortlisted, you’ll be invited to complete a full application outlining a domestic policy gap you want to address.
Why you should apply
This is more than just a program. It’s a chance to:
- Contribute your ideas to real policy conversations
- Build networks with influential leaders
- Develop skills that set you apart in your career
Your work will be compiled into a policy proposal and shared with Australian decision-makers and think tanks.
