Procurement

The Procurement CoP focuses on building procurement awareness, capability, and capacity in the Victorian public purpose sector. The CoP aims to bring public purpose sector professionals (from all levels and across different specialisations) together; and share better practice ideas and experiences with likeminded individuals in a collaborative and inclusive environment.

Risk

The Risk CoP focuses on harnessing the power of risk based decision making to achieve outcomes and innovation. We do this by educating and informing at all levels, from those beginning their careers, to those leading programs across the Victorian public purpose sector.

Sustainability

The Sustainability CoP provides a space for those who specialise or have an interest in sustainability within government and the public purpose sector to come together. We share experiences and contribute to thought leadership, to better understand and influence current thinking around sustainable development and help drive optimal public sector outcomes.
