It is a great opportunity for professionals to build networks, refine their leadership skills and be an active part of Melbourne’s future growth as a global visitor destination.
MTLP is an exclusive leadership program limited to 25 participants only, from a cross-section of the industry. Short-listed applicants will be interviewed in late November and participants will be selected prior to Christmas.
PROGRAM COSTS
Program Cost: $3,650 ex GST

PROGRAM INCLUSIONS
ATTENDANCE
It is a requirement that participants attend at least 90% of workshop days including the launch and the graduation, therefore only one full-day workshop can be missed. In addition, it is also a requirement that all participants attend the two-days of the Closing Residential as this is a crucial part of the completion of the program.
Should you be unable to fulfil this requirement you may not be accepted to MTLP.
