Work with Purpose

A podcast about the Australian Public Service

The Australian Public Service (APS) is playing a critical role in delivering the Australian Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Across all areas and levels of the APS, action is being taken to implement the policies of the Australian Government to support the Australian community.

Launched in March 2020, the Work with Purpose podcast gives listeners a unique perspective on how the APS works and how it is responding to this once-in-a-generation challenge.

In each episode, contentgroup’s CEO and Founder, David Pembroke, talks to key individuals in the APS who are leading the COVID-19 response.
Work with Purpose is produced in a partnership between contentgroup and the Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA), with the support of the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC).
