About APS merit protection and review

The Commission has a key role in providing independent external review of actions affecting individual APS employees.

This role assists in giving effect to the policy of the Australian Government that the APS should achieve and maintain workplaces that encourage productive and harmonious working environments. It also helps to provide a fair system for review of decisions for APS employees.
