Compulsory Candidate Training

The Victorian Government provides this compulsory training for all Victorians who wish to nominate as a candidate in any council elections. The training will help you understand the role and responsibilities of being a councillor. Under the Local Government Act 2020 you will not be able to nominate as a candidate unless you have completed the training. This candidate training is being reviewed and updated ahead of the 2024 council elections. While the training can still be accessed and completed now, it is recommended that you complete the training following the update which will be completed by mid-June 2024.
