Learning and development for APS 1-6 and graduates

One of the key responsibilities of the Australian Public Service Commission is to deliver leadership, learning and development services to the APS. In performing this role, the Commission advantage for agencies is that the Commission knows and understands the needs, culture, future challenges and Government expectations of the APS like no other provider can.

The Commission provides a national, comprehensive and coordinated suite of leading-edge leadership, learning and development programmes, events and services. These assist in providing APS agencies and their employees with the capability to deliver government priorities, objectives and outcomes.
