Resource Category Event Presentations and Photos, Public Sector Young Professional Conference

Western Australia’s public service is being urged to ‘collaborate and reshape’ how it works. Success in this endeavour will bring better services, better workplaces and a better budget bottom line for Western Australia.

IPAA WA’s dedicated Advisory Committee (YPAC) presented a must-attend conference. The exciting program was developed for young professionals by young professionals, and it kept delegates interested and inspired the whole day through thought provoking and interactive sessions.

The 2018 Public Sector Young Professionals’ Conference discussed and delved into successful collaboration, and showed delegates how to reshape their own and organisational thinking ready for the challenges of today and the future.

High profile speakers, led by Prof Peter Shergold AC FIPAA, guided delegates through the most important contemporary topics in public service. They left with a host of new tools and knowledge to advance their own skills and make a positive contribution within their organisation.
