The Institute for Public Policy and Governance at the University of Technology Sydney is a leading group of researchers and practitioners in the areas of public administration and policy, social research, stakeholder engagement, and leadership. We undertake applied social and behavioural and academic research, policy advisory, graduate education and professional development training.
The team at the Institute works closely and maintains extensive professional networks within the university and with governments; industry; not-for-profit and community based organisations across Australia and internationally.
The Institute is led by Director Carol Mills who has nearly 30 years’ experience as a policymaker and researcher at both state and federal levels, and has previously held senior roles as Secretary of the Department of Parliamentary Services, and Director-General of Communities NSW and NSW Department of Arts, Sport and Recreation.

Centre for Local Government
The Centre for Local Government is part of the Institute for Public Policy and Governance, and continues to be a leader in local government research, teaching and advisory.
From 2009 to 2015 CLG hosted the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government (ACELG) as part of a consortium that included the Commonwealth Government, University of Canberra, the Australia and New Zealand School of Government, Local Government Managers Australia, the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia, and program partners Charles Darwin University and Edith Cowan University. ACELG enjoyed significant success in advancing best practice in local government and encouraging the adoption of innovative practices and solutions. At the end of 2015 the Centre for Excellence came to a close, although a small number of ACELG projects were implemented throughout 2016 and 2017. ACELG project outcomes, relevant information and toolkits are hosted by UTS.
