Applying for the 2026 Tasmanian Leaders Program is simple. Just follow these straightforward steps.

Get ready

Before starting your application, we recommend you read the Tasmanian Leaders Program 2025 Information Pack. This provides details about what to expect, key dates and benefits to you and your employer.

It is also worth talking with one or more Program graduates to hear about their leadership development journey and experience from their own perspective. You can do this by attending one of our Information Sessions, or getting in contact with a past graduate via our Graduate Search.

Attendance at the Information Sessions is not compulsory, but strongly encouraged to help you to find the answers to your questions, and get to know our team.

If you are not successful in 2025, we do encourage you to reapply in subsequent years.
