The public sector management program is designed in collaboration with the governments of Australia to meet the needs of the contemporary public sector. It consists of four core units.
Unit One: GSZ631 Managing within the Context of GovernmentGSZ631 provides the 'big picture' of government and the context within which public sector managers operate. It develops an understanding of the institutional frameworks and conventions which guide practice and ensure sustainable democratic processes.
Unit Two: GSZ632 Managing Self and OthersGSZ632 provides insights into key individual and group behaviours and offers skills for communicating and managing people and teams.
Unit Three: GSZ633 Managing Outwards in a Networked GovernmentGSZ633 explores the variety of relationships that managers need to build across the public sector and outside it - with the private sector with community and not-for-profit sector and with citizens and clients of government services.
Unit Four: GSZ634 Managing Operations for OutcomesGSZ634 builds on the overall operational capabilities of managers and provides them with highly effective and appropriate tools processes and diagnostic capabilities to deliver and sustain the business of government. This unit also includes a workplace project.
