Evaluation and resources

An evaluation snapshot of the APS Reform Program was published in March 2025, which provides an assessment of the Reform agenda initiatives’ progress, achievements and outcomes across the Pillars. Key questions were:

• Progress in delivery: To what extent has the Reform agenda been delivered as intended?
• Achievements to date: What have individual initiatives achieved and how are they contributing to Reform outcomes?
• Outcomes and early impacts of the Reform agenda: How are initiatives working together to benefit Australian communities and business more broadly

The APSC will shortly release a follow-up report situating these achievements within the broader project of public service reform and transformation of the last decade and which have contributed to the current program of APS Reform 2022-2025. This report includes:

• Additional detail and analysis of achievements and outcomes of the APS Reform agenda 2022-2025
• Comparative analysis of APS Reform agenda Performance Metrics for 2023/24 and 2024/25
• Implications of findings for ongoing transformation efforts

The snapshot and report are part of a broader suite of publications on the APS Reform Agenda’s progress, including the APS Reform Annual Progress Reports. These progress reports provide information on the status of all initiatives and are complementary to the data provided in the evaluation snapshot and full-form report.
