In May, free online sessions will be introduced in preparation for the role.
One of these sessions is specifically designed for the perspectives and experiences of women.
"HRCC has a strong history of community representation by community leaders who put their hand up and become a candidate," CEO Mr Bhalla said.
"I encourage anyone considering standing to come along or log in to the session and use the VLGA and MAV resources.
"The sessions will cover topics such as the role and purpose of local government and councilors' roles, responsibilities, and expectations once elected," Mr. Bhalla said.
Prospective Council election candidates are invited to attend information sessions, both in person and online, around the state.
The Victorian Local Government Association (VLGA) is hosting free online sessions in May for people interested in nominating for Council.
Zoom sessions to be held - Standing for Local Government on May 17 and Women Leading the Change on May 24
