National Policy Officers’ Evidence-Based Policy Development Conference

CANBERRA, Australia - March 2, 2015 - PRLog -- As the policy environment evolves in line with new government priorities, so too must the skills and tools of Policy Officers. To remain ahead of the curve, they must continue to explore new tools and frameworks to adapt to the changing stakeholder needs.

The National Policy Officers’ Evidence-Based Policy Development Conference 2015 has been designed specifically for Policy Officers, analysts and professionals working in related policy management and evaluation roles. The intent of this unique event is to provide participants with practical advice and ideas on how they can become more effective and successful in their roles. The ultimate outcome will be that participants are updated with a suite of contemporary skills and tools to ensure they are better equipped to develop robust, outcome driven evidence-based policy.

The Conference maintains its tradition of bringing theory to life though a series of case study presentations from experienced policy professionals as well as the managers and directors of policy divisions in a variety of agencies. Presenters will draw on their own experiences to provide participants
with practical advice on how they can become more effective. They delve into all facets of the policy cycle, with a specific focus on the role and function of evidence in policy research and development. It also explores the limitations of contemporary approaches and covers solutions to common problems.

As the premier networking event for policy professionals in Australia, this conference is an unrivalled learning and networking opportunity.
