Public Service Futures (PSF) is a cross-agency employee-led network working to connect young public servants with opportunities to influence the future of the public sector.

Young public servants are the future leaders of the Public Service. The sector we inherit depends on decisions made today. The PSF is for young public servants who want to take pride in their profession, and to have a meaningful say over its direction.

What we do 

Public Service Futures exists to deliver on our vision of the New Zealand Public Service being able to anticipate then meet the needs of future Public Servants.

Our values

  • Reliability
  • Inclusion
  • Safety
  • Engagement

By partnering with our sponsor, we can inform our members of opportunities to influence cross-sector change. We also create opportunities for young public servants to connect at networking and professional development events.
