Selection and recruitment services
On behalf of the Merit Protection Commissioner, regional employees undertake Independent Selection Advisory Committees (ISACs). An ISAC is an independent three member committee that makes recommendations about the suitability of candidates for engagement at, promotion to, or assignment of duties at, classifications included in APS Classification Groups 1 to 6.
On behalf of the Public Service Commissioner, regional employees also participate in staff selection processes at EL 1/2 and APS level 6 and below, as well as scribing for selection panels.
Please e-mail our office to discuss how we can assist your selection and recruitment processes in either South Australia or the Northern Territory at apsc.adelaide@apsc.gov.au
Review of actions
Local staff are available to fulfil the Merit Protection Commissioner's statutory functions such as conducting Promotion Review Committees (PRCs) and Reviews of Actions, and providing advice on procedural questions where appropriate.
The Commission can provide information to agencies and individuals about promotion review and review of actions generally; however, the Commission cannot give advice on whether an application for review should be lodged in a particular case or particular circumstances. Additionally, on a fee-for-service basis, the Commission can assist agencies by providing staff who are trained mediators. Where a matter is not settled by mediation, any Commission employee who acted as the mediator would not be involved in any subsequent review of the case.
Career advisory services
We can assist your staff with redeployment or other employment related matters in circumstances where positions may have become redundant.

Wide ranging consultancy services
On behalf of both the Public Service Commissioner and the Merit Protection Commissioner staff offer a range of consultancy services consistent with the role of the Commission and the MPC. These include promoting, consolidating and reinforcing APS values such as merit and procedural fairness.
