There are a total of 26 Program Days (made up of 24 full days and 4 half day sessions), two dinners and a launch and graduation ceremony. The areas shaded in green, orange and teal are compulsory activities. Participants must attend all compulsory activities and 80% of the remaining program days in order to graduate.

STUDY TRIPS – Each year, the dates of the Melbourne and Canberra Study Trips (teal) are dependent on the confirmation of Parliamentary Sitting Dates, thereby making both trips subject to change.

There may be a number of optional activities such as the Regional Leadership (RL) Combined Program Day (Melbourne) and NML Alumni events that will be available for participants to attend and dates will be provided as advised.
