The SES100 supports the Government's commitment to boost First Nations employment by increasing First Nation's leadership representation at the SES level to 100 by 2024-25.
This proposal directly contributes to Closing the Gap Priority Reform Three to transform government institutions and organisations.
Representation is critical at senior levels to ensure participation in the decision-making process, bringing a flow-on effect of cultural capability and awareness.
The goal is to not only attract First Nations leaders into senior executive positions but to focus on retention and positioning the APS as an employer of choice for First Nations people. To do this, it will offer support through intensive leadership development and coaching opportunities.
APSC First Nations Unit will provide extensive support through the SES100 journey including:
pre-application information sessions
pre-interview information sessions
post-interveiw feedback sessions
job matching assessments
providing a buddy and/or mentor to newly on-boarded SES members
