Quit the Red Tape Habit

Quit the Red Tape Habit: The Ultimate Bureaucratic Challenge

The Belcher Red Tape Review, conducted by Ms Barbara Belcher and presented to the Secretaries Board in October 2015, provides a strong basis for the implementation of internal red tape reduction reforms in the Australian Public Service.

At this unique IPAA event we will hear from a panel of speakers about progress on the implementation of internal red tape reduction reforms. Included in the discussion will be current examples of success from the Australian Taxation Office and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, along with broader commentary from the Department of Finance and the Australian Public Service Commission.

Our format will include a facilitated discussion with strong audience engagement, followed by a networking morning tea where speakers will be available for further discussion.

The session will focus on informing and connecting a new network of like-minded government officers who want to see change and innovation in the APS and help make it happen.
