The Honourable John Howard MP Dear Prime Minister In accordance with the provisions of section 44 of the Public Service Act 1999, I present to you the annual report of the state of the Australian Public Service for the year 2002-03. This State of the Service report for the first time incorporates the annual report of workplace diversity in the APS. The APS Commission will be separately publishing supporting statistical documents, the State of the Service Employee Survey Results 2002-03 and the Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin 2002-03. The Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit and the Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet agreed to extend the tabling deadline of the State of the Service report to one calendar month after the tabling date for agencies’ annual reports. Section 34C of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 requires that you lay a copy of the Report before each House of Parliament within 15 sitting days after the day on which you receive the Report. Yours sincerely
