The Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA), is the only Professional Association in Australia that provides a focal point for all three sectors of government - Commonwealth, State and Local.
The first division of IPAA was established in 1928 as a branch of the British Royal Institute of Public Administration. IPAA National was established in 1979, formalising the cooperation that had existed amongst the different divisions into the new national body.
IPAA has a diverse membership of over 4,500 public servants, academics, students, provider and community members who share its aims.
The Institute is managed at a national level by the IPAA National Council. There are 8 Divisional representatives, one from each State and Territory and a 7 member Executive, who make up the 15 member IPAA National Council.
IPAA National has a full time National Chief Executive, with secretariat support provided by IPAA Queensland. | |
