Events

Trust, integrity, and accountability are fundamental pillars of practice at all levels of government and across the public purpose sector more broadly. Public organisations and decision makers are entrusted to undertake important work on behalf of the communities they serve. With this comes the responsibility of ensuring those decisions are ethical, impartial and deliver public value.

With several recent high-profile incidents throwing a spotlight on the processes and practices involved in the provision of public sector advice, the public sector’s capacity to uphold community standards and expectations has been questioned and strengthening the integrity of our institutions has become a hot topic.

Book your seat at the table for this important IPAA Luncheon Event as we explore how we can work collectively to identify and manage risks, make ethical decisions, and work with integrity and purpose in order to rebuild and strengthen trust in the public sector.

Registrations for this event are sold out.
