The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation (ARLF) was established in 1992 to respond to a backdrop of emerging challenges for rural, regional and remote Australia. It exists to create a network of leaders with compassion and commitment, strategic thinking and negotiating skills, and the foresight to influence communities, industries, businesses and policy makers. The Foundation develops and supports leaders to advance the viability and sustainability of rural Australia. Graduates of its programs are equipped to address the problems and opportunities presented by rapidly changing social, environmental, business and structural factors in rural, regional and remote Australia.
The Foundation is highly successful and respected in its field and has a significant track record in building capable leaders for and from rural Australia.
