2022 Program

January to June

The last twelve months have been extraordinarily challenging for NSW public servants: workplaces changed radically, work practices shifted dramatically, and service delivery pressures skyrocketed.

While 2021 was about adapting to crisis, 2022 will be about transitioning to renewal. It’s time to regain autonomy in your workplace and help create the future of a sector that you want to work in.

Our January to June 2022 program has been developed to help you make that transition. Co-designed with public sector leaders and People and Culture specialists, IPAA’s 2022 program blends thought leadership, capability development, intelligent discussion and professional networking opportunities. Our mix of virtual and face-to-face events and training explore how public sector workplaces can become more engaging, more productive and better support the people of NSW.

We recognise that professional development budgets are often tight and, thanks to our Cluster partnership program, many of our 2022 events are free for people working in the NSW public sector. These events are complimented by public and inhouse training program. In 2022 this includes new courses designed to build capability and help you come back to the office well and our popular existing courses that develop core skills that everyone in the NSW public sector needs.

Come and be part of our 2022 program that will help you build career enhancing capabilities and renew your commitment to the new world of public service work.
Members of IPAA NSW receive discounted rates for our events and courses. Affiliate membership is free of charge for all NSW public sector employees and professional membership is only $250 per annum. If you are not already a member, please visit our membership page to join online.

PLEASE NOTE: In planning our events and courses, we continuously monitor the public health orders issued by the NSW Department of Health in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, this program may be subject to change.
