Join us in celebrating excellence in the public sector at the IPAA ACT Spirit of Service Awards Gala Dinner, to be held on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, at the stunning National Arboretum Canberra.

These awards honour public sector initiatives that deliver meaningful, positive change for the Australian community. Through this celebration, we shine a spotlight on outstanding achievements, share valuable insights across the sector, and elevate the profile of the agencies driving innovation and impact.

The evening will commence with drinks and canapes, followed by a formal dinner and the awards presentation.

Meet our 2025 Spirit of Service Awards finalists here.
