Webinar Recording: Fostering Collaboration Between Public Sector and Industry Within WA

Western Australia is at a pivotal stage in its digital and service delivery transformation. With vast geography, a dispersed population, and rising expectations for accessible and efficient services, government agencies are turning to industry for innovative, collaborative solutions.

In this recorded webinar, public sector leaders and industry experts—including Marion Burchell, Managing Director at Azolla Holdings and former WA Government executive, and Professor Helge Janicke, CEO and Research Director at the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre—unpack the state’s evolving priorities and share how organisations can align with government goals to deliver real outcomes for communities across WA.

Key discussion points include:

• Strategic Priorities: Insights into WA’s evolving public sector landscape, including key focus areas such as digital infrastructure and inclusive service delivery.

• Local Challenges: How WA’s unique geographic, economic, and social factors influence the government’s approach to transformation.

• Public–Private Collaboration: Opportunities for industry to co-design solutions that meet shared goals.

• Roadmap to Impact: Practical steps for industry to engage meaningfully with government, build trust, and support long-term change.
