                    Community organisation training

                    The City of Melbourne provides free training to help local community organisations build their capacity to better manage and run their organisations. The training program offers a range of topics such as grant writing, project management, marketing and governance.

                    All places in this program have been fully allocated for 2020. There is a waiting list for these sessions, if you are interested in a session please follow the RSVP instructions below and you will be placed on the waiting list and if a place becomes available you will be contacted.

                    City of Melbourne also offers a professional development subsidy which allows local not-for-profit organisations to nominate the type of professional development opportunities that will best assist them to deliver community outcomes within City of Melbourne.
