$50,000 fellowship closing

An annual allocation of $50,000 will be awarded to an Australian who has the passion, skills and career prospects to create real change in regional and rural communities.

Open to anyone over 18 years, the Fellowship is targeting people with dedication and potential to be curious, to explore new ideas and insights, and to put these ideas into practice - talented changemakers who are focused on the impact they can make over the course of a year outside the big cities.

Chief executive of CEF, Wendy Mason said the funding may be applied towards professional development, research activities, travel related to the Fellowship purpose, accommodation, or other agreed-upon expenses.

Applications close on Sunday. Go to https://cef.org.au/Programs/tim-fischer-fellowship for more information.
