SSA Victorian Government Partnership Program

Drawing together a broad network of influential policy-makers, senior practitioners and leading academics, the Australia and New Zealand School of Government and the State Services Authority are collaborating on a three-year research partnership.

By exploring the synergy between public policy, research and practice, the partnership fosters innovation and excellence by identifying new challenges and opportunities for the public sector.

The partnership is delivering a sound knowledge and evidence base, as follows:

  • seminars that provide an open forum for knowledge sharing and practitioner engagement
  • workshops in which senior government practitioners and guest speakers can debate topical issues and share experiences
  • research commissioned to explore emerging forms of engagement and performance challenges facing the public sector.

Details of seminars and workshops, including presentations and sound files, are listed in the calendar below.
