The McKinnon Institute is Australia’s only organisation dedicated to providing professional development programs for state and federal MPs.
Political Leadership for 2021
Political Leadership for 2021 is an online professional development course for state MPs. It gives MPs the tools the tools and insights they need, based on experience from those who have led before. Content is based on real life examples and practical case studies. Sessions run for an hour and a half and are delivered via Zoom. As well as hearing from expert speakers there will be ample opportunity for interaction and discussion. MPs will also receive supporting references, case studies and short videos.
Advanced Political Leadership
APL is Australia’s first advanced leadership course for members of parliament who are potential ministers in the short to medium term.
APL is a selective, cohort-based program that supports participants to reflect on the role of ministers in our governance, their personal leadership needs and challenges, and the strategic policy challenges they and Australia will face over the decade ahead.
Applicants are selected by an independent panel, and the cohort participates in four workshops and a five day residential intensive.
