The APS Academy recognises that there is no finish line to building capability and that it requires a deep commitment to ongoing development.
The Academy was established to drive a learning model that promotes continuous learning and has been charged with ensuring the Australian community and government are served by a highly capable and future-ready APS workforce.
The Academy operates under five key principles and uses a one-APS approach to learning and development, with a focus on leadership, integrity and core APS Craft capabilities unique to the APS. These crafts allow the Academy to equip the workforce with skills, tools and knowledge to deliver excellent outcomes for Government and the Australian community. The APS Academy Faculty has been established to guide, influence and contribute to the design and delivery of initiatives to build those APS Craft capabilities.
Through the Academy people can access a collection of APS Craft ‘toolkits’, providing access to a range of learning, from self-serve resources through to courses and events. Additionally, the Academy also offers a variety of different programs and scholarships (for example, the APS Graduate development, Jawun APS Secondment and more) and connections to programs being developed by the Heads of APS Professions.
