Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG)
The Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) was established in 2002 by a consortium of Australian and New Zealand Governments, Universities and Business Schools who share a vision of creating a world-class institution which focuses on the needs of the government and community sectors.
ANZSOG provides teaching programs for current and emerging public sector leaders to enhance the breadth and depth of policy, leadership and management skills needed in today’s public sector. It delivers two flagship programs – the Executive Fellows Program (EFP) and the Executive Master in Public Administration (EMPA) through partner universities and business schools.
The Commonwealth is represented on the ANZSOG Board by the Australian Public Service Commissioner. The Commission coordinates nominations from APS and Non-APS Commonwealth agencies for ANZSOG flagship programs.
Commission closing dates for nominations for the 2010 EFP is 2 August 2010 and the 2011 EMPA is 3rd September 2010.

For detailed information about the EMPA program visit the ANZSOG website
The EMPA is offered by ANZSOG and participating universities in partnership. EMPA candidates enrol in one of the School's partner universities and upon successful completion of the course are awarded a degree from that university.
Designed to meet the needs of high potential employees within the Australian and New Zealand public services and government-related sectors, the EMPA aims to enhance the breadth and depth of policy and management skills of participants, and provide graduates with the tools and frameworks needed to be clear about the value they deliver. EMPA graduates will be better equipped to manage increasingly complex accountabilities and the shifting priorities of government against a backdrop of tight finances, a probing media, well organised interest groups, and, in many cases, entrenched organisational cultures.
The course brings together the best emerging public sector leaders from Australia and New Zealand with outstanding teachers and practitioners to strengthen participants' knowledge and ability to drive improved public sector performance.
The EMPA aims to develop:
- world-class public sector managers who have a broad view of, and excellent skill base in, management, service delivery and policy analysis across the spectrum of public sector activities;
- managers who demonstrate a critical understanding of the central concepts and literature from the fields of public administration, public management and public policy;
- managers who can undertake critical analyses of public sector issues using multidisciplinary perspectives and engage in informed debate of the issues;
- managers who understand and can apply research methods and undertake independent research;
- managers who are prepared for and committed to a long term public service career path;
- managers who can improve service delivery and policy outcomes across all levels of the public sector in Australia and New Zealand.
Graduates of the EMPA will:
- be familiar with fundamental theories and concepts underpinning effective performance in public sector management and policy development;
- have a good feel for the difficulties of delivering results in government;
- be skilled in applying theory and analysing data to solve real world management and policy problems;
- have well-developed personal and leadership skills.

Towards Strategic Leadership (TSL)
The TSL program seeks to enable people who have recently entered senior executive positions (or are about to do so) to successfully make the transition from their former operational/tactical to their current/future strategic leadership roles.
