Applications are now open
APPLY NOW
Our flagship leadership program is growing.

In 2027, Transport Australia will welcome a record 60 Fellows from across Australia and New Zealand, creating our strongest and most connected cohort yet.

The Fellowship is designed for high-potential leaders with around 8 to 15 years’ experience who are ready to step up, broaden their influence and help shape the future of transport.
For member organisations, this is a powerful investment in the people you want to retain, develop and see lead.

Fellows gain:

  • one-to-one mentoring with a senior industry leader
  • access to a national and trans-Tasman peer network
  • exposure to new organisations, modes and jurisdictions
  • opportunities to contribute to live industry and policy challenges
  • greater confidence, visibility and leadership capability
We encourage member representatives to identify the people in their organisation who are ready for more and actively support them to apply.
