Journal of Public Administration

The Australian Journal of Public Administration is the journal of record on public administration, public management and public policy in Australia.

The journal is published digitally each quarter with over 5,000 institutions around the world licensed to access the publication. 

IPAA members have full access to the Wiley Online Library journal page via a dedicated portal and app. These two access options provide similar functionality:

  • Early view papers and virtual issues can be accessed using the portal, and searches can be undertaken of the complete back catalog
  • The app provides access to recent issues of the journal and early view papers but currently lacks full search functionality of the back catalog.

If you are an IPAA member and need access to the journal, or are having technical difficulties, please contact your IPAA Division.

If you would like to submit a manuscript for publication in the journal from either an academic or practitioner perspective, visit the Wiley Online Library.
