Online Candidate Training Now Available

Published on 19 August 2020

The mandatory Local Government Candidate Training course for the 2020 elections is now available online. Candidates will need to complete the training prior to the nomination period opening on September 17th.

Under new requirements included in the Local Government Act 2020, candidates must complete the course to be eligible to nominate with the Victorian Electoral Commission. This includes all serving or former Councillors intending to nominate.

The online course will take around an hour to complete and ensure candidates fully understand the role of Councillor and its requirements.
