What we do

We recognise the public sector contributes enormously to the prosperity, lifestyle and high living standards of all Queenslanders. You as a public professional play an integral role in this contribution. By becoming part of IPAA Queensland, we foster your creativity and promote sharing and learning through our range of iQ Events, iQ Training courses and networking opportunities with like-minded professionals.

We promote healthy governance and excellence in public administration for all local, state and commonwealth employees across south-east Queensland and regional centres. Our members are passionate individuals who enjoy expanding their professional networks, as well as developing their knowledge in order to contribute towards better outcomes for the public sector.
