Current Personal, Associate or Corporate members of the Institute of Public Administration Australia WA can nominate an individual or organisation for an award.
The nominated individual or organisation does not need to be a member of IPAA WA. The individual or organisation must work in the public service (including Local, State, or Federal Governments, the Not-for-Profit Sector or the Academic Sector) or the work they are nominating for must have significant collaboration with a public service individual or organisation. The individual or organisation must work in WA or the outcomes of the work they are nominating for must be for the benefit of Western Australia.
If the lead organisation being nominated is a subsidiary or part of a larger/governing organisation, (e.g. a division of a government department; a school within the Department of Education; a division of a larger organisation; etc.), the governing organisation should also be considered as part of the nomination.
All nominations must comply with the conditions of entry.
