public service commissioner
The Honourable John Howard MP
Prime Minister
Parliament House
CANBERRA ACT 2600
Dear Prime Minister
In accordance with the provisions of section 44 of the Public Service Act 1999 and clause 3.5(2) of the Public Service Commissioner’s Directions, I present to you the component of my annual report reporting on the state of the Australian Public Service for the year 2005–06.
The Australian Public Service Commission will be separately publishing supporting documents, the State of the Service 2005–06 At a Glance, the State of the Service Employee Survey Results 2005–06 and the Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin 2005–06.
The Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit agreed in 2003 to extend the tabling deadline of the state of the service component of my annual 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
Lynelle Briggs
