On 17th July 2025 we hosted a deep dive into the Estimates Hearing process – a cornerstone of public accountability and parliamentary oversight in Queensland. This webinar was part of IPAA Queensland’s ongoing Mastercraft webinar series, which equips public sector professionals in Queensland with the tools and knowledge to navigate fundamental and essential public sector processes with confidence.

Whether participants are involved in the process or not, such as providing support for briefings in their departments, all public sector professionals need to understand that Estimates Hearings impact governance, policy, politics, and public confidence. Attendees did not miss the chance to hear from experts, learn best practices, and increase their knowledge of this essential process in our democracy.

At this Mastercraft webinar, participants:

• Gained a comprehensive understanding of the Estimates process and its role in democratic accountability.
• Learned from expert speakers who’ve been at the forefront of Queensland’s parliamentary system.
• Enhanced their ability to support transparency and strategic decision-making within their agencies.
• Increased their knowledge in the craft of public service.

IPAA Queensland’s individual members can watch the entire event recording on the members portal.
