The Australian Public Service (APS) Employee Census (Census) is an annual survey conducted across the APS, designed to collect feedback from all staff on our workplaces.
In 2023, 94 per cent of Commission employees completed the Census. The results compared favourably with the APS as a whole. Overall, 2023 Census results were positive and consistent with 2022 Census results.
Where to from here
The results of the Census helps the Commission to identify areas of strong performance, opportunities for further development, and track how the Commission is progressing on organisational strategies, initiatives and workplace culture. The 2023 Action Plan highlights our successes, and areas where we can improve.
