Three years into the project, 28 women have graduated or are still participating in the courses that are available.

All women currently employed by levy-paying businesses within the Australian horticulture sector are invited to apply for a limited pool of funding that has been provisioned for participation in a range of leadership courses. The grants are allocated with the specific intent of providing powerful and effective development opportunities for women who own or work for horticultural levy-paying businesses.

Scholarships of $4,103 – $10,941 available

The fee support opportunity provides a scholarship of up to $10,941 for women to take part in one of three part-time practical courses. Participants will network with women peers from a variety of industries, and cover such topics as reinforcing resilience and wellbeing, rewiring your networks, evolving strategic change, team dynamics, and supporting leadership performance. ​

The funding is available both to individuals and groups of employees within all levy-paying horticultural organisations across Australia. All of WLA’s courses are part-time, designed for those already employed and are delivered via a ‘blended’ teaching model – partly online, partly face-to-face. The face-to-face components are held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. All three courses commence several times each year in all four capital cities.
