The Day Out by SPA Australia tackles current topics that help the public service go further, through bold thinking and trusted advice.
Expect conversations shaped by innovative ideas, data-driven guidance and deep real-world experience.
Expert Insights and Packed Program
Some of Australia’s most experienced public servants, along with a selection of our senior advisors, will share practical insights to future-proof the public sector, with a focus on leadership grounded in integrity.
There will be a packed program with up to 12 sessions over two stages, exploring topics across our Legal, Commercial, Consulting and Analytics practice areas.
As in previous years, the day will commence with a flagship panel session focused on leading with integrity across the public sector, and will conclude with our popular ‘Hypo-ethical’ session – a great panel discussion on sticky ethical situations and how embedding responsibility, transparency and trust is at the heart of all government work.
Networking and Catering
Connect with peers from across the APS and wider public sector while enjoying a full day of catering, including refreshments, lunch, and evening canapés with networking drinks.
The Day Out is open to SPA Australia clients and government employees. Please register your interest to receive further details.
