The James Martin Institute for Public Policy (JMI) and the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen collaboration and partnerships between the APS and the university sector. The Memorandum, signed in January 2025, fosters joint efforts to build public policy capabilities, share information and insights, and build networks for collaboration.

The Australian Public Service Commission looks forward to expanding its engagement with the James Martin Institute for Public Policy. The APSC strives to build a trusted and contemporary APS and position the public service for the future. This Memorandum of Understanding will foster greater cooperation with JMI and their university partners to support expert exchange of ideas and knowledge.

– Dr Subho Banerjee, APSC Deputy Commissioner and Head of the APS Academy.

Established by the NSW Government and a group of leading universities in 2021, JMI is an independent, non-partisan government and university joint-venture. JMI is dedicated to supporting government in tackling their most pressing public policy challenges. This strategic partnership with the APSC reflects JMI’s increasing cross-jurisdictional approach and the success of its partnership-based model.

JMI and APSC share a core commitment to building capabilities for effective public policy development. JMI’s unique position, sitting between government and universities to better support policymakers, complements the APSC’s distinctive role to enhance APS capability to support the evolving needs of Australians. JMI looks forward to working with the APSC to advance this objective.

– Professor Peter Shergold AC, Chair of the JMI Board.

JMI is delighted to formalise our partnership with the Australian Public Service Commission, as a natural extension of our work to date and a reflection of our growth and demand. This partnership will more effectively position the Institute to provide cross-jurisdictional advice and knowledge exchange at the state and federal level, while amplifying the strategic policy capabilities of our government and university partners.

– Professor Libby Hackett, CEO of JMI.
