Funded by the CPA and in association with the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia, the workshop will launch the Commonwealth Parliamentary Whips Network which aims to develop links between whips from throughout the Commonwealth in order to share information about their role and work. It will also provide a professional development opportunity for whips.

Topics for discussion at the workshop include managing the business of parliament, the functions of party whips, liaison with parliamentary staff and combining the whip’s role with electorate responsibilities.

Whips from Parliament’s throughout the Commonwealth will attend the meeting.
