Overview

The role of governance in the public sector is a crucial and complex one. Among the key challenges facing the Australian public sector today is the need to balance compliance with performance, while driving efficiency, ethical behaviour and a whole-of-government approach.

The reformist nature of the Rudd Government is also increasing the focus on, and need for, good governance. Interaction between key stakeholders is higher than ever before and the lines of responsibility and accountability are becoming harder to define as a result. Good governance is essential if the reform agenda is to be delivered successfully.
