All sections need to be completed at the one time.

 

You are not able to save your progress and come back to it at another time,
so it is important to be prepared.

10 March 2025 Update

We have made some small adjustments on how you will need to upload files in the application flow. All the application requirements remain the same outside of this. If you are having any issues please don't hesitate to contact Jo at jo.hargreaves@wineaustralia.com

​​

What you need for your application: 

​

1. General information - Section one asks you to complete some information about yourself including contact, job and region details.

​

2. Application questions - We'll then ask you to upload a document (PDF or Word) answering these questions:

​​

• What quote makes an impact on your day?
   

• What three things do you want to focus on in your personal and professional development?
   

• Give us one-two examples of where you’ve led – this could be thought leadership or action leadership … where you’ve changed the course of events in some way. What were the outcomes and what did you learn? (500 word limit)
   

• Describe how you’d like to see the grape and wine sector evolve over the next decade - what is the first step that you could take to make this happen? (500 word limit)
   

• How do you currently contribute to benefit the broader grape and wine community? What value does this create? (500 word limit)

​

3. References - You will be asked to provide contact details of two referees so make sure you have these lined up before you apply. 

​​

4. Upload your CV - You will need to upload your CV. Make sure you have this up to date. File formats supported are PDF or Word documents. Save your file with your 'first name-last name' format e.g. Sandy Smith.

​​

5. Upload a video - Section five requires you to upload a video* (of up to two minutes duration) telling us what you want your impact on the wine sector to be. Where possible, try to ensure your video is no larger than 250 MB. Note, larger video sizes will take longer to upload.

​

* What is this for? Glad you asked!​

Interaction creates connection. We can't meet all of you in person but we can use technology to do the next best thing. Your video will be seen by the industry-led selection panel so take the opportunity to connect and show them your aspiration. Simply record yourself on your mobile phone or computer (in the vineyard, winery, research lab or living room - we don’t mind where or how - just be yourself). Please note these important instructions: ​

• Answer the question - what do you want your impact on the wine sector to be?

• Keep your video to two minutes. The selection panel reserves the right to not assess your application if your video is a lot longer than two minutes. 

• Grab our attention but don't go over the top with fancy effects and cinematography. Smile. ​

• Please don't read out your CV, tell us about your history in the wine sector or what you had for breakfast. ​​​

 

Contact us if you need this information in an accessible format, such as large print or audio.

Please call Jo Hargreaves on 8228 2000 or email research@wineaustralia.com.
