Each year the IPAA WA Public Service Young Professionals’ Conference provides a platform to discuss the important issues affecting young professionals and those who are early in their journey serving citizens.
The theme and program are developed by the IPAA WA Young Professional Committee, for young professionals who work serving citizens across this vast state. The Committee is drawn from across all areas of public service, with members working across local, state, and commonwealth government and the community sector in Western Australia.
In 2024 the conference theme, ‘The Power of You: Aspire and achieve’ featured a program that motivated and encouraged young professionals to take the all-important ‘next steps’ in their career.
