The Public Sector Innovation Awards were held in partnership with IPAA ACT and the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science and the Public Sector Innovation Network (PSIN).

Aiming to recognise, celebrate and share innovation in the Australian Public Service and the ACT Public Service, the Awards were given across three categories:

• Citizen-Centred Innovation
• Culture and Capability
• Digital and Data

An additional ‘Judges’ award was also given, based on any of the above categories, to a nomination that stood out from the crowd – potentially a disruptor, a start-up, an experimental trial, an “honorable failure”, or something a little bit different!
