Welcome to the Complex Project Management Profession members’ community
Hello and welcome! We are delighted to have you join the Complex Project Management (CPM) Profession Members’ Community.
This community is designed for APS professionals like you — those working on complex or large-scale projects, or seeking to strengthen their skills in this space. It’s a place to collaborate, share insights, seek guidance, and expand your professional network. You’ll hear from industry and government experts, and stay up to date on tools, training, and networking opportunities.
The APS is facing increasingly complex challenges in a fast-paced and evolving environment. Projects are often delivered under more scrutiny, with high expectations for transparency, accountability, and impact. Emerging technologies, shifting policy landscapes, and growing complexity demand new ways of thinking and working. This community supports you in developing not only traditional project management skills — like managing budgets and schedules — but also the ability to:
- navigate ambiguity,
- lead multi-disciplinary teams, and
- adopt adaptive and experimental approaches to deliver outcomes that reflect broader public expectations.
We encourage you to actively engage with this community, contribute your expertise, and invite colleagues to join. Together, we can strengthen CPM practices across the APS and deliver initiatives that make a lasting difference for the Australian community.
Sincerely,
Mr Chris Deeble AO, CSC, Deputy Secretary, Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, Department of Defence
Dr Liz Develin, Deputy Secretary, Primary and Community Care Group, Department of Health, Ageing and Disability
