Home > Introduction

The Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin 2003-04 is a statistical overview of Australian Public Service (APS) staffing produced on a financial year basis. It provides details of staff employed under the authority of the Public Service Act 1999 (the PS Act). Staff employed in Commonwealth-owned companies, statutory authorities, the defence forces and government business enterprises that are not employed under the PS Act are not included. State and local government staff are also not included.

The 'Main Features' section provides an overview of the report, together with a number of tables and graphs. Later sections cover ongoing and non-ongoing staff in more detail.

The APS Commission can also provide disaggregations and analyses of the data presented here in formats other than those published, on a fee for service basis.
