Introducing The Mayors Institute

Publish date:

The election of Mayors across Victoria represents a significant milestone in our local democracy.

On the 12-13 December, the MAV was thrilled to welcome more than 120 Mayors and Deputy Mayors to Melbourne for the MAV Mayoral Mandatory Training Program.

Our Mayors Mandatory Training marked the beginning of the Mayors Institute, a high impact program that empowers Victorian Mayors with the skills to navigate emerging challenges and lead with confidence.

Over two days, this training program went beyond compliance. It equipped our leaders with the confidence, purpose, and capacity to navigate the complexities of local government and make a real difference in their communities.

As our local leaders hit the ground running in 2025, The Mayors Institute celebrates the collective experience, vision and dedication Mayors bring to their roles, while providing opportunities to refine leadership skills, share knowledge and strengthen their leadership capacity for the benefit of local communities.

Congratulations to Victoria’s Mayors and Deputy Mayors on successfully completing their Mayors Mandatory Training.
