CANCELLATION NOTICE - Due to unforeseen circumstances Richard Mulgan is unavailable to present this event. It is with regret that we will not proceed as scheduled, and advise that it is cancelled. We hope to be able to bring this topic to you in the future.
The Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme revealed serious weaknesses in the culture of the Australian Public Service (APS), both at an institutional and individual level. It serves as an urgent prompt to the APS to revisit its culture and values as it builds a pro-integrity culture.
The Susan McKinnon Foundation partnered with public sector accountability and ethics expert Professor Emeritus Richard Mulgan to analyse the transcripts and findings of the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme. The report, Ten lessons for Public Servants from Robodebt, focuses on the distinct contribution of the APS and the professional practices and values that influence the behaviour of public servants and led to the Robodebt failure. The report offers ten practical lessons for public servants to implement from Robodebt.
ANZSOG, in partnership with the Susan McKinnon Foundation and APO, is convening this free event to explore the implications of Robodebt and the ten lessons in detail. Speakers include Professor Emeritus Richard Mulgan and Professor Peter Shergold AC FRSN.
This event is for all public servants who are looking to understand what lessons can be learned from the Robodebt and explore the role that every public servant can play in strengthening and deepening their own personal commitment to a more responsible, accountable and independent APS.
The event will be in-person and online, 10.00-11.30am 24 September 2024. In-person places are limited to ensure an interactive experience.
