This is a face-to-face session, for two full days. Catering and participant resources provided. Before you register, we ask that you make sure you can commit to attending, as we have extensive waitlists for most workshops. If you do register and can't attend, wherever possible, please contact us two weeks before the workshop date so we can reallocate your spot to another person from your community. Our ability to fully serve your region relies on this effective communication.

If you are registering for multiple participants, please include individual email addresses against each registration which we need for surveys.

This workshop is free thanks to the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund. It is delivered by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and part of the Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought Initiative. For more information visit rural-leaders.org.au.
