APS Employee Value Proposition

The Australian Public Service Employee Value Proposition (EVP) was released on APSJobs in November 2023.

Research conducted by the Australian Public Service Commission in 2023 highlighted a lack of public awareness about the APS as an employer. The EVP communicates what it is like to work for the APS by highlighting 5 key attributes:

  • purpose and meaning
  • opportunities to learn and grow
  • community and belonging
  • flexibility and balance
  • conditions and lifestyle.

This helps to raise the employer profile of the APS and allows APS employees and potential candidates to evaluate the benefits of working in the Australian Government against other employment options.

Agencies are promoting the EVP through relevant networks and channels. A social media campaign featuring APS employee stories ran from January to March 2024.

The APS EVP was developed under the sponsorship of the Future of Work Sub-committee of the Secretaries Board (now the Capability and Workforce Committee). It is underpinned by extensive research, co-design and testing so it reflects the lived experience of a wide range of APS employees.

The EVP supports the government’s APS Reform agenda, particularly Priority 3: An APS that is a model employer and Priority 4: An APS that has the capability to do its job well.
