Become a WA Gateway Reviewer

To become a WA Gateway reviewer, you must complete and submit the gateway registration form and complete the Gateway Reviewer Team Member training.

There are many benefits to undertaking the course, including gaining insights into how public authorities manage their programs and projects, networking with senior executives, and understanding the Gateway review process. It's an excellent learning investment for senior executives and project or program managers.

You need a high level of skill and expertise in a number of the following areas:

  • business analysis and planning
  • facilities management
  • ICT development, procurement, management or implementation
  • infrastructure development
  • managing business change
  • policy or program development and implementation
  • procurement
  • project or program management
  • service delivery or operational experience
  • stakeholder communications and management.

Audience

The training is suitable for senior executives and project managers who want to become WA Gateway reviewers, from both the public and private sectors.

Content

The training workshop covers:

  • Gateway principals and practice
  • planning for a Gateway review
  • undertaking a Gateway review
  • reporting on a Gateway review

BTLi is conducting all Gateway workshops using Zoom which allows practical aspects of the face-to-face workshop to be replicated, with plenty of opportunities for group discussions, presentations, and small group activities to highlight particular aspects of the Gateway process.

Cost

For Gateway training sessions organised by the WA Gateway Unit, DTF will cover the cost for public sector officers in executive positions (level 9 and above) who agree to participate in at least one review per year if contacted by the Gateway Unit.

Applications from those who do not meet these criteria will be assessed on their relevant skills and experience, on a case-by-case basis. You can register for training if you do not meet the requirements, however your agency must cover the cost.

Alternatively, you can register for Gateway training directly.

Cancellation fees apply in accordance with the training provider’s terms and conditions.

Gateway Review Team Member workshop

The OGC GatewayTM Review Team Member Workshop* is a 1-day practical training program designed around a medium risk project case study.

The day is structured to guide you through the stages of the Gateway Review Process. A series of practical, interactive workshops cover key principles and practices, providing insights into the Gateway Review Process and its potential for adding value to projects. 

Attendance at an OGC Gateway Review workshop is a prerequisite for people wanting to be Gateway Reviewers. 

BTLi conducts Gateway workshops using Zoom. You will be sent a Zoom link and pre-reading material before the workshop.

Each participant will need to be on an individual computer to enable maximum flexibility for breakout groups during the day. 
 
The workshop is broken up into 4 sessions enabling participants to:

  • discuss and apply Gateway principles and practices 
  • discuss project material on each phase in a Gateway Review
  • explore appropriate approaches for phases through activities and group discussions
  • review and consolidate learning for each phase, supported by facilitator-led discussion and prepared checklists.

The elements covered are:            

  • Gateway principles and practice                
  • planning for a Gateway Review            
  • undertaking a Gateway Review
  • reporting on a Gateway Review.

The day typically runs from 9am to 4pm with regular breaks, as well as a 45-minute lunch break. For dedicated WA workshops the day will run from 8:30AWST to 3:30AWST.

If you have completed the training, you may conduct Gateway Reviews for the Australia, New Zealand, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales Governments, which all have Gateway Units.
