Power, Politics, and a Free Trip!

Run by Wyndham City Council, the free program gives local residents aged 18 to 25 the chance to explore how all levels of Australian government work — from right here in Wyndham to the corridors of Canberra.

The highlight? A four-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Canberra from 8–11 September, including guided visits to Parliament House, the Museum of Australian Democracy, the High Court, and the Australian War Memorial.

Participants will also spend a full day at Victoria’s Parliament House and engage directly with Wyndham City councillors and staff to gain insight into local government decision-making.

Whether you’re aiming for a career in politics, law, or community leadership, this is a hands-on opportunity to experience government in action and connect with people already making a difference.

Applications close on 26 May 2025. To apply, you’ll need to share your career goals, why politics interests you, and how you’ve been involved in your community so far.
