IPAA ACT’s Spirit of Service Awards recognise and celebrate the best of the public sector – the people and initiatives driving positive change for the Australian community.

Member organisations are encouraged to nominate the programs, projects, products, services, initiatives or other work in their portfolios that deserves recognition. Award categories include Breakthrough, Community Engagement, Learning, and Collaboration.  

Submitting a nomination is a powerful way to showcase your team’s achievements, share best practices across the public sector, and amplify the impact of your work.  

What story of positive change do you want to recognise?
