How have the government assessed the year ahead? What are the key decisions they have taken that will affect the public service?
Join us as we unpack the key insights from the 2025 WA State Budget and explore what it means for the sector, the state, and your organisation. We are delighted to host the Acting Under Treasurer, Michael Court and CEO of the Grattan Institute, Dr Aruna Sathanapally, to deliver presentations for this year’s IPAA WA Budget Briefing.
The IPAA WA State Budget Briefing will provide:
- access to expert insight into our state’s preparedness for economic shock
- analysis of the State budget that will give you valuable additional information and opinion to inform strategic planning
- public service professionals across a range of professional backgrounds and responsibilities an easily understood, comprehensive understanding of the budget and its impact on the public service
- commentary on the current and predicted economic conditions around the world that will impact Western Australia.
You will benefit from attending if:
- you have, or aspire to, responsibilities under the Public Sector Commission’s Leadership Capability Framework to understand the context in which your organisation operates
- your work is subject to the annual budget cycle and you want to know more about why
- you wish to sustain or increase your capability as a professional public servant to deliver meaningful support to the leadership of your business area and organisation.
Michael Court’s sharp precis of the state budget delivered in the plain English will ensure you leave the session with clearer understanding of what is a dense, lengthy and highly important public policy document.
We are delighted to continue our partnership with The Grattan Institute by bringing their CEO, Aruna Sathanapally, to Perth as our guest speaker. Aruna’s perspective on global and national economic factors driving state government budgets in Australia will provide you with immediate insight to update your planning and a ready reckoner for further research.
Following both presentations, you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters in the audience Q&A.
Last but not least, we welcome KPMG back as our sponsor and Lance Glare as MC. Lance’s public service career including his key role in Infrastructure WA ensure that you are in safe hands on the day.
