The Australian Policy Cycle provides an easy to follow visual of the key milestones required for best practice government decision making.

The Australian Policy cycle image was informed by content explored in detail in  "The Australian Policy Handbook: A Practical guide to the policymaking process" by Catherine Althaus, Sarah Ball, Peter Bridgman, Glyn Davis and David Threlfall.

The image, illustrated by James Gulliver Hancock with text by Jennifer Forest was produced for the Spirit of Service exhibition at the Museum of Australian Democracy. The exhibition showcases the diverse work of the Australian Public Service to support our community.

The Spirit of Service exhibition is open at the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) until 2030.
