Participants of the 2025 Fairley Leadership Program, delivered by Goulburn Murray Community Leadership, visited the Victorian Parliament House for an immersive learning experience exploring leadership, representation, and how regional voices shape policy. The visit included a guided tour, Question Time, and discussions with Members of Parliament from across Victoria.

Participants in the Fairley Leadership Program travelled to Canberra for an immersive study tour, supported by sponsors and hosted by Fairley Fellow Sam Birrell MP. Despite a scaled-back approach, the cohort engaged with Federal Leaders including the Hon Milton Dick MP, Zoe McKenzie MP, the Hon David Littleproud MP, Senator David Pocock, and Dr Helen Haines MP. The experience provided invaluable insights into advocacy while connecting regional issues to broader policy discuss
