It is open to people with leadership potential in a broad spectrum of fields in either public or private life; in the city or country. Applications are welcome from the community sector, business, government, the arts and professions; there are no restrictions. Up to fifteen fellowships are awarded each year. Recipients are usually in their late twenties to late thirties.

The St James Ethics Centre, which designs and delivers the program, says ethical leaders give meaning and a clear sense of direction to the community. They have an understanding of what makes a good society, can deal with complexity and face challenges with moral courage. The aim of the Fellowship is to find and develop such people.

The program runs over two years and involves nine weeks away. Fellows travel to remote parts of Australia and countries within South East Asia. Costs are met by the Vincent Fairfax Ethics in Leadership Foundation.

Applications close 30 September 2008.  Apply at Ethical Leadership
