Council and Councillor Support
The Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) has a long and proud history of supporting councils and councillors to deliver positive outcomes for their local communities through high performance leadership and effective governance.
For more than three decades we have provided practical support, professional development and policy guidance to councils, inspiring and enabling good governance and supporting elected representatives across their journey from candidacy to end-of-term.
In addition to supporting councillors to realise their true leadership potential and increase their impact, the VLGA also assists the sector by carrying out research, policy analysis and advocacy on behalf of local councils.
We also recognise the working landscape for councillors can be a challenging one. Councillors and officers from VLGA Member Councils can reach out to us for advice and support at any time.
