Promoting organisational change for sustainability within the public sector

With sustainability emerging as a management priority, the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Water Resources engaged ARIES and Urbis JHD to investigate how to promote organisational change, learning and transformation for sustainability within the public sector.

Eleven Australian Government departments and agencies took part in the project which used a participatory inquiry approach, through facilitated focus groups, allowing the issues to be identified by those who know, work with, and engage with them every day.

The summary report Sustainability in Government: Making Change for Sustainability — Perspectives from the Australian Public Service presents some of the insights and recommendations from the project.
