Empowering Councillors to Lead with Impact

The VLGA is the only peak body in the local government sector with a singular focus on good governance and support for councillors. We empower and inspire our members to be high performance councillors and councils, driving participatory, inclusive and ethical decision making when it comes to leading diverse communities.

As the leading voice for councillors, the VLGA advances policy and legislative change to improve the working lives of our members. We work with communities, raising awareness of the important work of local councils and equipping community members who represent these communities with the skills, knowledge and connections required to be successful community leaders.
