The Asian Leadership Foundation (ALF) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening the participation and representation of Asian Australians in public life.
ALF works across politics, government, the public sector, and community service to build leadership capability through training, education, mentorship, and civic engagement. Our work supports Asian Australians to develop the skills, confidence, and understanding needed to contribute meaningfully to public decision-making.
By promoting civic education and participation, ALF seeks to ensure that diverse perspectives are reflected in Australia’s democratic institutions. We believe that inclusive leadership strengthens public trust, improves decision-making, and contributes to a more representative and resilient society.

Celebrating Our First WA Cohort！
Our inaugural Waratah Program WA cohort graduated in October 2025! Over the past months, our 24 participants have embarked on a truly transformative journey — growing not only in knowledge and skills, but also in connection: supporting one another, listening deeply, and creating space for every voice.
Their journeys remind us that leadership is not defined by titles or status, but by inclusivity, empathy, integrity, and courage — the courage to ask, “Who’s not at the table?” and to make space for those voices.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our guest speakers, lecturers, and mentors for sharing your wisdom and time with our cohort, and to our participants for showing up fully and trusting the process.
As our Waratah leaders step forward, we know they will continue to lead with authenticity, inclusion, and impact — embodying the true spirit of Connection as Power.
Congratulations once again to the Waratah Class of 2025!
The Asian Leadership Foundation acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we operate, work, and learn. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their enduring connection to land, waters, and culture.
