Terms and Conditions of Use

Access to the Leadership Bureau database is limited to Governor members, Fellows, and Honorary Fellows of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation.

No files, details, lists or the results of tailored searches of the Leadership Bureau data-base, may be passed to a third party, either for free, as an exchange, or for payment.

The Bureau cannot be used to solicit business, as an open mailing list, or as a marketing tool for the benefit of an individual member.

Users of the Leadership Bureau must treat their log-in details and their password in the same way they treat details associated with their bank account. These details are for the use of the registered user only, must not be disclosed to another person or entity.

How do I update my Bureau details?

The Leadership Bureau requires updated and accurate information to be effective and useful. Last year the Foundation contacted all Fellows to update their information on its data-base in preparation for the launch of the Leadership Bureau. Not all Fellows responded. Others have had changes in contact details and professional roles in the last year. If you need to update your details, please download and complete the form here and forward to info @ rural-leaders.com.au. Foundation staff will then be able to update your profile.
