Working Better with Other Jurisdictions: An ANZSOG Research Paper for the Australian Public Service Review Panel

Abstract

This Research Insights Paper is one of a series commissioned through ANZSOG by the 2019 Independent Review of the Australian Public Service, to inform the Review’s deliberations. For the APS to perform at its best, and add most value to our system of democratic institutions, it must work effectively with other jurisdictions. Many of Australia’s most pressing challenges straddle Commonwealth and State activity, and this paper looks at how the APS can best support effective national action involving multiple jurisdictions.
