Welcome
The Australian Public Service Commission promotes good practice in managing people, supports leadership and learning and development in the Australian Public Service (APS), fosters ethical behaviour and workplaces that value diversity.
We also have an important evaluation role in working with agencies to ensure that the APS is performing effectively and consistently with the APS Values.
Great news for all our website users
On 24 May we will be introducing a new website- modernising our online presence and providing a much improved navigation structure and user experience for all our clients. The new site is upgraded and redesigned in response to feedback we have received from agencies and all our client groups.
Greater reliability
In addition to the new design, we have improved the reliability of the new website by upgrading our web technology and infrastructure.
Viewing the site
The site can be viewed on most internet browsers, however, for the optimum user experience we recommend you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (or above), Firefox 3 or Safari 3 (or above).
Our web archive
Our current website contains a large amount of valuable archive material. Bringing all this material into the new website will take a little time. The website will contain all our up-to-date content. Following the launch, we will begin a process of migrating archived content into the new site.
Feedback
It is possible that the new design may affect a few settings that you have applied on your computer, like ‘favourites’, some links and RSS feeds etc. We are hoping to minimise any disruption and will be providing you with access to a feedback process via the website after launch day. We look forward to receiving your comments.
The ‘As One—APS Disability employment strategy’
As One aims to change the way we think about disability and set us in motion towards an inclusive workforce where everybody can perform at their best. To get there every agency, leader and employee will need to work together to build a culture that is inclusive of people with disability. As One describes out our approach and plan of action to do just that.
As One was launched on 14 May 2012 by Special Minister of State and Special Minister of State for Public Service and Integrity, the Hon Gary Gray AO MP.
