- analysis of how the APS workforce and workplaces are evolving, supported by research and data insights
- consideration of APS capability, leadership and integrity issues, trends and responses&
- examples of what APS leadership and stewardship look like in practice
- stories of how APS teams are serving the Australian community, including by connecting with non-government organisations, businesses and the research sector
- an exploration of how the APS is improving its approaches and preparing for the future.
This is the second State of the Service Report to be submitted to the Australian Parliament by APS Commissioner Dr Gordon de Brouwer.
It is prepared as a digital-first report and is the latest in a series of reports on the Australian Public Service dating back to Federation.
