Скачать или смотреть Mandarin Talks Webinar: Job cuts and silver linings

In Mandarin Talks’ latest FREE webinar on Tuesday, October 28, Mandarin news editor Melissa Coade will be in conversation with David Hayward (RMIT) and Jiselle Hanna (CPSU Vic Branch), diving into the pressures of delivering for community and doing public administration well as a Victorian public servant today.

Upheaval and hard work have been the cornerstone of life in the VPS since the COVID-19 pandemic, and while some things have returned to normal, things have never been the same in government since.

With a looming state election next November and a clear directive from Victorian treasurer Jaclyn Symes to “zero in on waste and inefficiency” in the public service, VPS leaders have some tough choices to make as the public purse strings tighten.

Many are asking the critical question: how can the government execute its efficiency agenda without cutting corners for essential service delivery or leaving any citizen behind?

Hear from our panel of esteemed guests who will share insights about the widely discussed Silver Review, VPS job security, program implementation challenges, and when we can expect the embattled public service to break free from the costly legacy of Victoria's COVID-19 response.

A lot is at stake.
