Real Leadership. Real progress.

Social Leadership Australia is Australia's premier, not-for-profit, social leadership development consultancy.

We were established by The Benevolent Society in 1999 to develop leaders with the skills, capacity and determination to achieve lasting positive social outcomes Australia-wide.

Since then we have developed a strong track record of creating and delivering innovative leadership development programs for individuals and organisations across the corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors.

What we do

We offer open enrolment programs for individuals including our flagship Sydney Leadership program (est 1999) and our inaugural Queensland Leadership program (est 2009) as well as our four day Introduction to Adaptive Leadership intensive.

We work with diverse organisations to develop and deliver customised programs that build their internal leadership capacity — helping them to manage complex change and make positive social contributions. Our clients include government departments, not-for-profit organisations, and Top 100 companies.

Social Leadership Australia also engages directly with specific communities of interest to develop partnerships that will lead to progress in tackling entrenched social issues, such as our current Headland project for emerging Indigenous leaders.

Our leadership model

Social Leadership Australia uses the Adaptive Leadership approach developed Heifetz et al at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government as the basis for all its programs. We take this powerful model to a new level by focusing it on making progress for all of society.
