John Brockelsby

John Brockelsby, affectionately know as JB, has been associated with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation since the first ARLP was run in 1993. He has attended every outdoor session of the Australian Rural Leadership Program since then, with the exception of Course Three.  This remains a cause of great disappointment to him.

John has been firmly committed to the Foundation’s aims and objectives and has worked closely with the Foundation team over the years to ensure the outdoor session has delivered the best possible outcomes in the safest possible way.

He takes great pride in his long association with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, believing  it plays a vital role, not only in enhancing the strength of the rural sector to position Australia in facing its future, but also in bringing together all the peoples of Australia.

 John is the principal of Ausworks Pty Ltd, a company that designs and delivers tailored experiential learning programs in remote settings. In addition to this role, he also works for the ACT Government, focussing on governance and business integrity.

John was elected to the Board of the Australian Institute of Training and Development in 2004, where he was President during 2004-05, and Vice President between 2005 and 2007.  He has also held a number of other appointments including Company Secretary for the Australian Institute of Training and Development and for Australian Divisions Member Services Ltd (a subsidiary company of the Australian Divisions of General Practice), and as Principal Officer for the Australian General Practice Registrars Association.
