Small Agency Forum
The ACT Small Agencies HR Forum
The ACT Small Agencies HR Forum is a not-for-profit network of human resource professionals and others who have an interest in contemporary people management issues, predominately representing agencies from the Australian Public Service. The HR Forum functions as an independent entity, governed by a constitution. Originally established in 1993, the Forum has steadily grown to include membership of over 60 agencies representing a diverse range of public sector organisations.
The Forum meets on a monthly basis and is used as an opportunity to keep abreast of key government initiatives. Members also use the Forum as an opportunity to discuss challenging people management issues, particularly in the small agency context, and share ideas and experiences in addressing those issues. Topics covered in the Forum in 2006 have included:
- Better practice approaches to people management
- Work Choices legislation
- Connected Government
- Super Choice
- Business continuity planning
The collaboration and networking opportunities the Forum provides is valued by many members.
The Forum welcomes speakers on human resource, corporate and people management issues which affect public sector agencies, and welcomes the opportunity to be involved in the testing and development of policies and programmes.
Further information is available from the Forum Chair, Mr John Mikus, Department of Human Services (02 6223 4492) or Ms Catherine Cross, Committee Member, Australian Public Service Commission (02 6272 3521).
