By ipaanat On January 22, 2013 · Add Comment · In News

Nominations for the 2013 Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Sector Management are now open for all levels of the public sector.

These pre-eminent Awards, which have been run for over a decade by the Institute of Public Administration ACT Division (IPAA ACT), encourage and recognise better practice and innovation in all levels of government in Australia and are designed to honour the achievements of public sector work groups, units and teams rather than individuals.

Focusing on specific initiatives, the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence are based on demonstrated success against four key criteria contained in the IPAA Excellence in Public Sector Management Model. Information on the model can be obtained from the IPAA ACT website www.act.ipaa.org.au. .

Categories for the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence include:

Sustainable Excellence in Public Sector Management
Collaboration—joint nominations between two or more agencies or across levels of government, involving high performing initiatives, and
Innovation—initiatives involving high levels of innovation with actual or the potential for highly successful outcomes.

The Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence will be presented during a gala dinner at the Australian War Memorial on 20 November 2013, as part of the IPAA 2013 National Conference. The Award nomination period opens 30 April 2013 and closes 16 August 2013.

IPAA National President declares it’s time for the next wave of public sector reforms

By ipaanat On November 26, 2012 · Add Comment · In News

The President of the Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA) has urged political and public sector leaders in state and Commonwealth governments to launch a new wave of public service reforms.

Terry Moran, who has had the unique experience of being both a Secretary of the Commonwealth Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and Secretary of the Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet, argues that a series of sweeping changes are needed to create a 21st century public service.

“In the last thirty years, Australia’s public services have helped to develop and implement policies that have created unprecedented wealth and opportunities,” Mr Moran said. “From tariff reductions and the introduction of compulsory superannuation, to a national market in electricity and tax reform, Australian public administrators have worked with all sides of politics to develop and deliver major economic and social reforms that have benefited all Australians”.

Mr Moran’s article in the latest issue of the Australian Journal of Public Administration (AJPA) argues that there are five important areas of institutional change needed in the way public administration works in Australia.
