Public Administration Today (PAT) has replaced the Canberra Bulletin of Public Administration (CBPA) to allow IPAA members to see what is happening in public sector practices throughout Australia. The first issue was released in September 2004

PAT aims to facilitate debate and to disseminate information about major trends and developments in public sector management in Australia, with a particular focus on the national level.

While the CBPA was previously available to members for a subscription, PAT is supplied quarterly as part of general membership subscriptions for IPAA SA members.

PAT is published by the IPAA ACT Division. State Editors have been appointed to collect information to ensure that content from across Australia is included. IPAA SA members are invited to contribute by sending articles to the SA Editor of PAT, Mr Bruce Guerin.
