Twitter and the @PSInnovate Account

Twitter is a web-based micro-blogging service. The Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, owns the @PSInnovate Twitter account. The Department of Innovation is working to promote innovation in the public sector and further information can be found on the Advancing Public Sector Innovation webpage. We invite you to follow us.

Why use Twitter?

The aim is to engage with people interested in public sector innovation and with their views on how public sector innovation can be encouraged in Australia, particularly within the federal tier of government.

  • Our Twitter channel supplements the information we publish on our website and our blog.
  • We can link to interesting and useful information about public sector innovation in Australia and around the world.
  • We can ask for opinions on developments in the public sector innovation area – this is not an endorsement or criticism of ideas put forward, but a mechanism to discuss ideas and their implementation.

Will you respond to my replies or direct messages?

While we will try to reply to messages, please note this may not always be possible. The twitter channel will be monitored during business hours. We consider a Twitter conversation to be similar to that of a telephone conversation and not as correspondence (letters, faxes, emails, submissions, et cetera).

Please be aware that Twitter is a public space on the internet and interaction is publicly viewable and searchable.
