Public Sector Management Program

The Public Sector Management (PSM) Program is a leadership and management education program for Australia’s public sector senior and middle managers and emerging leaders. It has been developed in a public sector context and provides a unique opportunity to develop skills relevant to your public sector role.

Unique aspects of the program include:

an opportunity for information sharing and networking across government
the inclusion of a work based project which allows participants to ‘value add’ back to the sponsoring agency
face-to-face program delivery in a workshop format
the development of a mentoring relationship between participant and sponsor
highly experienced facilitators from a range of backgrounds, and
a focus on relevant and practical skills to the public sector workplace.

The PSM Program is usually delivered over an 18 month period but can be fast tracked in one year.

You are not required to have an undergraduate degree to enrol in the program.

The PSM Program structure covers:

the framework of public sector management
the public sector in the community
ethics and career management in the public sector, and
managing in the public sector.

The full program fee is $7,500 which includes program materials, delivery, tutorial support, assessment, graduation and day catering. Sponsoring agencies meet full program costs for their nominated participant.

The program is nationally accredited at the Graduate Certificate level. Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a Graduate Certificate in Public Sector Management from Flinders University (South Australia).
