#EP165: Curtain call with David Pembroke and Andrew Metcalfe AO
Work with Purpose: A podcast about the Australian Public SectorShow Notes
After 164 episodes, we bid farewell to Work with Purpose. Marking this special occasion, IPAA ACT CEO Kate Driver turns the microphone around on host David Pembroke, CEO of contentgroup, and one of the podcast’s first guests, IPAA National President Andrew Metcalfe AO.
On the final episode before its hiatus, David and Andrew look back at over 160 stories told on Work with Purpose – starting with unpacking the government’s COVID-19 response. Together, they reflect on a podcast born out of a desire to let leaders speak clearly and without interruption, helping build confidence and understanding during a national crisis.
David and Andrew explore what has changed since the podcast began, highlighting the rapid acceleration of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, alongside enduring themes such as relationships, integrity, trust and the craft of public service.
Looking forward, they predict that integrity will remain one of the most important conversations for the sector, especially in light of failures such as Robodebt. They also encourage young people to seek careers in the public sector, and for the sector to in invest in its emerging leaders.
To our listeners and guests – thank you for lending us your ears and your ideas over the past six years. It’s been a pleasure.

More from Work with Purpose: A podcast about the Australian Public Sector
On the penultimate episode of Work with Purpose, Jaala Hinchcliffe, Secretary of the Department of Parliamentary Services, shines a light on the important, yet often unseen work of DPS, and discusses why integrity is not simply something people have or lack, but rather a skill that must be practised.
Governments generate endless information, but so much of it goes unseen. So, how do we turn it into content people actually care about?
What happens when senior leaders step out of meeting rooms and into frontline service environments?
In this episode of Work with Purpose, we discuss how a widening gap between external change and internal capability in the public sector is becoming a major threat to both public trust and effective government. As governments navigate social media distortion, geopolitical instability, cognitive warfare and rapid advances in AI, many public institutions are still operating in rigid, slow-moving ways better suited to an earlier era.
On this episode of Work with Purpose, the Hon Patrick Gorman, Assistant Minister for the Public Service, revisits performance, reform, and the future direction of the Australian Public Service.
