Young Professional Committee

The Young Professional Committee was first established in 2003, guided by the desire to service the needs and interests of young professionals within the Western Australian public sector. The Committee consists of up to 15 nominated Young Professional (YP) Members and acts as a sub-committee of the Council of IPAA WA.

YPC Goals

  • Support and promote the interests of Young Professionals who are working in or working with the public sector in Western Australia;
     
  • Connect Young Professionals from across the public sector as well as other young professional groups through networking opportunities;
     
  • Inform and share knowledge regarding public sector issues through facilitating networking opportunities, providing access to senior leaders, organising events with relevant guest speakers and facilitating social media platforms and forums where Young Professionals can discuss key public sector issues and share innovative ideas;
     
  • Inspire and empower Young Professionals to contribute to public policy discussion, and to ultimately influence public policy development and implementation in Western Australia; and
     
  • Promote the IPAA WA and its value to all of its stakeholders.
