Canberra, as Australia’s political and administrative capital, is the hub for government, policymaking, and governance frameworks. Professionals working in or with government agencies require a strong understanding of public policy development, implementation, and governance structures to ensure compliance, accountability, and impact. Through a focused one-day format, participants will explore practical insights into the policy cycle, governance frameworks, and public sector leadership. Through real-world case studies, interactive sessions, and applied exercises, you will develop the tools to navigate governance challenges, craft evidence-based policies, and align with best practices in the public sector.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Understand the policy development cycle and apply it effectively.
• Navigate governance frameworks to ensure accountability and transparency.
• Lead policy initiatives with strategic and ethical leadership.
• Identify and manage risks in governance and policy delivery.
• Apply policy and governance principles to real-world government and NGO contexts.

• Federal & State Government Employees – policy officers, analysts, advisors.
• Public Sector Managers & Leaders – responsible for governance and compliance.
• Consultants & Contractors – advising or supporting public agencies.
• NGO & Not-for-Profit Leaders – engaging in advocacy and public policy.
• Academics & Researchers – specializing in policy and governance.

Because policy and governance aren’t just about rules—they’re about impact. Our Canberra workshop cuts through the jargon and gives you what really matters: the ability to design policies that work, lead with integrity, and navigate governance challenges with confidence. Unlike generic training, we use real Australian case studies, interactive simulations, and practical exercises that mirror the issues you face every day. With expert trainers, a collaborative classroom, and a recognised certificate, you’ll leave not only with knowledge— but with the confidence to influence decisions and drive meaningful change in your organisation.
