Tasmanian Leaders is a world-class, place-based organisation with national and global recognition for excellence in high-impact leadership development and action research.
We build leadership capacity and connectivity across Tasmania for positive social, economic and environmental change – locally and beyond.
We believe inclusive and purposeful leadership is critical to our collective futures.
Our suite of programs supports leaders at different life and career stages, with the Tasmanian Leaders Program as our flagship. We also lead social impact initiatives that build diverse networks, foster collaboration, and promote thought leadership.
At the heart of our work is our influential Network, of 1000+ graduates and growing, who continue to lead, mentor and contribute to their communities. Together, we are creating meaningful, lasting change.
With our 20th anniversary in 2026, we’re proud to celebrate two decades of impact and the promise of what’s still to come.
From one day introductions, to specific deep dives on working with complexity or generative AI – there is something for everyone looking to extend their leadership tool kit.
Our annual highlight event – the Leadership Symposium – comes to Launceston in 2026.
Join us to explore one of leadership’s most enduring tensions, considering how leaders navigate the natural cycles of change.
Facilitating Dialogue Through Leadership is a new discussion paper developed collaboratively by Tasmanian Leaders and the Tasmanian Policy Exchange at the University of Tasmania.
Written by Dr Frieda Moran, Angela Driver GTLP, Kym Goodes, Dr Toby Newstead, Professor Richard Eccleston, Gillian Biscoe AM Hon GTLP and Professor David Adams, the paper draws on insights from the 2025 Dialogue Leadership Lab to explore some of the forces constraining dialogue in Tasmania today, including polarisation, exclusion, risk aversion and political stalemate.
Combining lived experience, research and practical leadership insights, the paper examines how leaders can foster more constructive, inclusive and courageous conversations across workplaces, communities and public life, and identifies practical approaches to support stronger dialogue and collective action in Tasmania.
Tasmanian Leaders believes leadership opportunities should be accessible to people with the passion and potential to make a difference, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Through our Access and Change Maker Scholarships, we help remove barriers to participation and ensure our programs continue to bring together people with diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds from across Tasmania.
In 2025, we provided eight scholarships valued at more than $31,000.
This end of financial year, we’re inviting our community to invest in the next generation of leaders by supporting our scholarship program.
As a registered charity and Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), donations over $2 are tax deductible.
