The Australian Journal of Public Administration is the go-to resource for the latest research in public administration.
Over recent years the three most download articles from past editions of the journal were:
Professor John Phillimore of Curtin University was delighted to hear that his 2013 article continues to be read widely by a public sector audience seven years on from when it was first published:
‘I think it highlights the enduring relevance of having a good understanding of intergovernmental relations in Australia — now probably more so than ever with the season of bushfires we’ve just experienced, and with coronavirus on top of that.’
The AJPA is freely accessible to all IPAA members via a dedicated portal on the national IPAA website or via an AJPA app. It is the journal of record on public administration, public management and public policy in Australia and has been in continuous circulation since 1937.

Public Administration Today (2004–2015) was a quarterly publication for IPAA members and built on the earlier success of the Canberra Bulletin of Public Administration (1973–2004).
‘Today’ reported on IPAA activities, promoted and celebrated achievements in Australian public sector management, shared information on major trends and developments, and generated discussion and debate.
