Go behind the scenes at NSW Parliament House
As part of our commitment to creating more meaningful, insider experiences for our paid members, IPAA NSW is launching a new “behind the scenes” series designed to give you access to places, people and perspectives not typically available to the public.
This is about opening doors that are usually closed, and giving you a closer connection to the institutions and individuals shaping the public sector.
This exclusive tour of NSW Parliament House is the first in what will be a growing program of unique, paid member-only experiences.
In this session, Mark Webb, CEO of Parliamentary Services and President of IPAA NSW, will lead a guided walk-through of both chambers of Parliament bringing its history, function and daily operations to life where he will:
• Highlight the building’s unique and historic features
• Introduce you to those who work within the House, offering a rare and practical insight into its day-to-day operations
• Deepen your understanding of the role, function and spaces of Parliament.
Conditions permitting, the group may visit the vault with treasures rarely on display.
Following the tour, join fellow paid members for coffee and conversation to expand your network.
Numbers are intentionally limited to ensure a more personal experience, with space for genuine discussion, connection and engagement throughout the morning.
Open only to Professional Members currently working in the public sector in NSW. Register now for this exclusive opportunity.
