Start the year with insights from Dr Steven Kennedy PSM, Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, at the annual Commencement Address to the Australian Public Service.

The Commencement Address brings together leaders and professionals from across the public sector and beyond to reflect on the opportunities, challenges and priorities shaping the Australian Public Service (APS) in 2027.

As the APS continues to navigate an increasingly complex and evolving environment, this event provides an opportunity to consider the direction of the public service, its role in delivering for Australians and the importance of a strong and enduring spirit of service.

The evening will feature an address from Dr Kennedy, followed by an opportunity for discussion and questions, offering attendees valuable perspectives on the issues and priorities facing the public service.

Join us for an evening of insightful discussion and an opportunity to connect with leaders and colleagues from across government and beyond.
