Last month, the Australian Institute of Police Management (AIPM) delivered the first residential component of its newly redeveloped Executive Development Strategy 2 (EDS2) program, bringing together senior executives from policing and public safety agencies across Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and Europe.

Designed for executives operating in increasingly complex and interconnected environments, EDS2 reflects the AIPM's commitment to developing leaders who can navigate uncertainty, build public trust, and shape the future of policing, emergency management and public safety.

Working alongside Pacific police jurisdictions, the AIPM designs and delivers leadership programs that strengthen capability within leadership teams to support safer, more resilient communities.

This week, we are in Timor-Leste, working with the Timor-Leste National Police and the Scientific Police & Criminal Investigation unit. With the support of Tetum-speaking translators and local AFP officers, we have been able to bridge language and cultural differences to create meaningful conversations and shared learning.

Balance Refresh

This week we launched the first Balance Program in its refreshed format. The updated program introduces a new immersive learning experience and a plenary-style executive panel, designed to deepen insight and bring real-world perspectives to life.  

We’re incredibly grateful to Chief Technology Officer Suzy Mann (NSW Police), Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell AFSM (Fire and Rescue NSW), and Deputy Commissioner Libby Murphy APM (Victoria Police) for generously sharing their time and expertise with us and our participants.

The AIPM is delighted to welcome Matt Heysmand and Amy Mouafi to our facilitation team.

Celebrating International Women’s Day 2026 

#GiveToGain #IWD2026

This International Women’s Day, the theme “Give to Gain” highlights the power of collaboration in advancing gender equality.

In recognition of this theme, the AIPM is proud to announce our second year of sponsorship of the Australasian Council of Women and Policing (ACWAP) Conference. This renewed partnership underscores the AIPM’s ongoing commitment to supporting and empowering women in policing.

Hope to see you there in August!

Papua New Guinea Officer Cadet Program

In the leadup to ANZAC Day on Thursday, the AIPM pays homage to our Australian Defence Force Service personnel, our veteran community and the families who support them.  The actions of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli forged an enduring legacy that has shaped the identity of both our nations. The staunch defence of Gallipoli is also a key element in the national identity of Türkiye and over a century on, Australia, New Zealand and Türkiye consider themselves friendly nations.
