Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG)
The Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) provides world-class postgraduate education to senior executives and emerging leaders in the public sector. The Public Sector Commission is pleased to partner with ANZSOG to deliver three distinct programs:
The EFP is an intensive three week residential program, bringing together eighty high-level senior executives, leading academics and experienced practitioners from Australia, New Zealand and overseas. The program has been designed to enhance core relationship, leadership and management skills needed to meet the challenges of leading in the 21st century.
The curriculum fosters two way communication, engaging participants and facilitators in case study discussions, group work and peer clinics. This format provides an invaluable opportunity to gain fresh strategic insights and advice from domestic and international jurisdictions.
Eligibility: Tier 1 or Tier 2
Enquiries may be directed to the program coordinators at leadership@psc.wa.gov.au or on (08) 6552 8894.
For more information specifically about the program, please visit the ANZSOG website at www.anzsog.edu.au.
The Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) Program is a two year post graduate qualification designed to prepare emerging leaders in the public sector for the increasingly complex and challenging world they will confront.
EMPA is specifically designed for local public sector leaders, addressing real issues and ‘live’ government challenges. Developed in conjunction with ANZSOG’s government and university partners, the best international academics and public sector practitioners combine to provide a first-class curriculum.
Not unlike an MBA specifically tailored for government careers, the aim is to produce world-class public sector leaders with strong skills in everything from financial management to laws and regulations, data analysis and intellectually sound policy-making.
The course is a blend of theory and practice, of discussion and case studies, of academic rigour and real world relevance that allows students to access the best thinking and learning as they share their individual workplace challenges.
Eligibility: PSGOGA Level 8 (or equivalent) and above
Dates: Two years part time
Venue: Various schools across Australia and New Zealand
Enquiries may be directed to the Public Sector Leadership team at leadership@psc.wa.gov.au or on (08) 6552 8569.

Evidence Base
Designed for public sector decision-makers, ANZSOG’s peer-reviewed Evidence Base journal publishes systematic reviews of the evidence in specific policy areas with a sharp focus on ‘what works’.
To ensure the journal remains a contemporary and relevant resource for the public sector ANZSOG is seeking topic submissions relevant to the Western Australian public sector.
Previous reviews have covered topics such as the effectiveness of individual funding systems for disability, the drivers and barriers regarding government one-stop-shops, and the potential of the youth foyer model for reducing youth homelessness.
You can help ANZSOG continue to produce a contemporary and relevant journal by doing the following:
submit topics that are useful and relevant to your agency, by email to journal@anzsog.edu.au
circulate information about the journal within your Agency and to your colleagues.
Topics for review need to be areas where there is sufficient empirical evidence to warrant a systematic review, as well as being important and relevant to public sector managers.
Once ANZSOG receives a topic that fits the criteria, the Evidence Base team works with the relevant agency to refine the topic if necessary, and then draws on ANZSOG’s extensive academic networks to commission the review from people with suitable expertise.
ANZSOG provides a grant of AUD$10 000 to support the development of each review.
So if your agency has a specific topic/issue that would benefit from such a review in terms of its evidence base, this might represent an effective way to achieve that and share the results back with the wider public sector community.
