Appearing Before Parliamentary Committees

Do you need to appear before a parliamentary committee in your current role?

Do you provide support to someone who does this? Learn about the committee system and the role you have to provide honest and accurate testimony.

Appearing before parliamentary committees takes an in-depth look at parliamentary committees that scrutinise decisions and the information flow between the APS, the parliament and the public. This program will help you to prepare effectively and communicate information clearly. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a simulation of the committee process to crystalise your knowledge.

This content has been provided by a third party in consultation with the APS Academy.
