Meet the Parliamentary Hosts

The Parliamentary Hosts are a group of about 45 Members and Senators of the National Parliament who think something needs to be done to develop leadership character in our young people. We come from all political parties and ideological persuasions and recognise that a non-partisan approach must be found for many of the great challenges facing our country. Accordingly, we work together as Hosts to make the Forum possible, along with the invaluable assistance of a large group of volunteers. We all share a commitment to inspire and equip the next generation of Australian leaders.
