About the Oration

 The Reid Oration was established by the Institute of Public Administration Australia (WA Division) in 1991 to honour Professor Gordon Reid’s contribution to public life.

The presentation encourages public interest and research into public policy and contemporary thinking of our times; not dissimilar to the work of Professor Gordon Reid.

The event is a joint collaboration between the Institute of Public Administration Australia (WA Division) and The University of Western Australia. The Reid family joins the Institute of Public Administration Australia (WA Division) and The University of Western Australia in welcoming you to this annual event.
