Pathways to Politics Program for Women

Changing the face of politics

The University of Canberra Pathways to Politics Program for Women is a proudly non-partisan initiative that aims to change the face of politics by equipping women with the skills, knowledge, confidence, and networks they need to run for elected office and thrive as political leaders.

An initiative of the Trawalla Foundation, Women’s Leadership Institute Australia, and the University of Melbourne, our program is a part of a national Pathways to Politics partnership that seeks to address the underrepresentation of women in Australian politics. 

The program comprises six host universities including the University of Canberra. It is offered free to selected participants.

Pathways to Politics brings together significant expertise and experience from across Australia’s political spectrum. We will provide you with networking opportunities and practical training that emphasises ethics in leadership.

The Pathways to Politics is open to female-identifying and non-binary people. University of Canberra is open to residents of the ACT and NSW.
