About the Report
Each year the APS Commissioner reports to the Minister and the Parliament on the state of the Australian Public Service. This fulfils a statutory obligation under section 44 of the Public Service Act 1999.
The State of the Service Report is a collaboration between the Australian Public Service Commission and APS agencies. It shows how the APS is supporting the priorities of the Australian Government and serving the Australian community.
The State of Service Report 2024–25 will again be delivered using a ‘digital first’ approach, to ensure it is engaging and accessible for readers.
The report includes:
- analysis of how the APS workforce and workplaces are evolving, supported by research and data insights
- consideration of APS capability, stewardship and integrity issues, trends and responses
- examples of how the APS Professions are benefiting staff and the APS in practice
- stories of how APS teams are serving the Australian community, including by connecting with non-government organisations, businesses and the research sector.
