Welcome Address & Building a Pro-Integrity Culture in the Public Sector

Welcome Address and Building a Pro-Integrity Culture in the Public Sector: Everyday Habits that Strengthen Trust, Decision-Making and Professional Standards

Integrity in the Australian Public Service (APS) is a broad and essential concept. The APS Commission defines integrity as “doing the right thing at the right time” to achieve the best outcomes for the Australian community and the government of the day. This panel will explore the practical behaviours, cultural drivers and leadership approaches that help build and sustain a genuinely pro-integrity culture across the public sector. Discussion will focus on the habits that matter most, how they support better decision-making, and how senior leaders can model integrity in their daily work.
