Fostering and growing the next generation of leaders

The Institute created PD for Leaders to provide opportunities for seasoned and aspiring leaders in the industry to gain valuable insights and opportunities to connect through a well-rounded mix of networking events, mentoring programs, and property development courses.

This year, there are three programs available suited for professionals at various stages in their careers:

  • Mentoring – young professionals in their early to mid-career
  • Emerging Leaders – young leaders looking to upskill
  • Established Leaders – established leaders looking to level-up

Mentoring Program

With two intakes per year, this is your opportunity to establish professional networks that you’ll use for years to come.

Who can apply?

The Mentoring Program is available to young property professionals in their early to mid-career from member companies of the UDIA Queensland.

Mentees who have previously completed the program are unable to apply or participate again.

Mentors and mentees are required to meet at least five times face-to-face over the five-month program.

Places are limited due to the popularity of the program.
