Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Sector Management

The Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA) is calling for nominations for the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Sector Management (the Awards). These pre-eminent Public Sector Awards aim to encourage and recognise better practice and innovation in all levels of Government in Australia.

The Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Sector Management focus on specific initiatives and are based on organisations demonstrating success against four demanding criteria. They are designed to honour the achievements of public sector work groups, units and teams rather than individuals.

Organisations have to demonstrate that they are able to devise and implement innovative customer-focused initiatives. They must also demonstrate that their success was not accidental — it must have been the result of a methodical and sustainable approach to improving the organisation’s practices in client satisfaction, leadership, people management, change management, planning, governance and innovation.
