Federation Partner Interstate Scholarships

Local Government Professionals NSW is part of a federation of associations across Australia, supporting members in local government with their professional development. Through this federation, we are able to provide members with the opportunity to travel interstate to the annual conference of one of our partners. These opportunities are designed to help you pursue your professional development, networking and connecting with individuals working in local government across Australia.

We currently have two opportunities available within this program.
