Rationale

Temporary mobility is a tool that agencies can use as part of quality public service workforce management to access skills not available within their teams. As agencies implement the APS Workforce Strategy 2025, Commission initiatives and support to deliver temporary mobility will help position the APS for the future. These metrics provide indicators of the health of temporary mobility across the system, and of the impact of specific Commission-led initiatives such as the APS Surge Reserve.
