Appendix 1 ꟷ APS workforce trends

This appendix summarises Australian Public Service overall workforce trends for 2022–23 and over the past 10 years. The primary source of data is the Australian Public Service Employment Database.

The APS is a diverse workforce spanning 596 locations across Australia and overseas in 99 agencies. As at 30 June 2023, the APS had increased to 170,332 employees, working across 239 job roles in fields such as service delivery, research, regulation, project management and policy development. This growth reflects an additional 11,041 employees joining the APS during 2022–23, and overall increase in size of 6.9%.

APS employment trends

As at 30 June 2023, there were 170,332 employees in the APS, comprising:

• 151,055 ongoing employees, up by 7.3% from 140,829 ongoing employees in June 2022
• 19,277 non-ongoing employees, up by 4.4% from 18,462 non-ongoing employees in June 2022.

Table A1.1 shows how this distribution has changed from 2018 to 2023. Non-ongoing employees in the APS are employed for a specific term, or for the duration of a specified task, or to perform duties that are irregular or intermittent (casual). Of all non-ongoing employees at 30 June 2023:

• 11,544 (59.9%) were employed for a specified term or the duration of a specified task
• 7,733 (40.1%) were employed on a casual basis.

The increase in non-ongoing employees was due to an increase in specified term or task non-ongoing employees (+ 2,292) during 2022–23. Casual employees decreased by 1,477 during the same period.

During 2022–23:

• 22,031 ongoing employees were engaged by the APS, up by 22.3% from 18,010 ongoing engagements in 2021–22
• 11,798 ongoing employees separated from the APS, up by 5.9% from 11,144 separations of ongoing employees in 2021–22.

Tables A1.2 and A1.3 show the agencies with the largest increases and reductions in employees.

Job families

The Australian Public Service Job Family Model groups functionally similar jobs that perform related tasks and require similar or related skills and knowledge. The model classifies jobs at 3 levels – family, function and role. The 19 job families are broken into clusters of job functions and further into job roles.

As at 30 June 2023, 48 agencies supplied job family data relating to 145,077 (85.2%) of APS employees.

Figure A1.5 presents the location of APS job families across Canberra, other cities and regions across Australia.

The proportion of women is higher than that of men from the APS 1 classification up to and including Senior Executive Service Band 2. This is the first time there are more women at the SES Band 2 classification than men. A slightly lower proportion of women remains at the SES Band 3 level, although their number continues to rise (Table A1.12).

Personal and miscellaneous leave

Australian Public Service agencies provide aggregated figures on personal leave (that is, sick and carer’s leave) and miscellaneous leave (that is, bereavement, compassionate and emergency leave). These figures include instances of leave with or without a supporting medical certificate, whether paid or unpaid. Previously this form of leave has been reported in the State of the Service Report as unscheduled absences. As some of this leave is scheduled, a more accurate term is personal and miscellaneous leave.

The personal and miscellaneous leave measure incorporates the headcount of agencies when calculating the absence rate. In practice, every agency’s personal and miscellaneous leave days and full-time equivalent (FTE) are summed, and the personal and miscellaneous leave rate is calculated by dividing the total number of personal and miscellaneous leave days by the total FTE of the APS.

APS Personal and miscellaneous leave rates	=	Total days of personal and miscellaneous leave across the APS Total FTE of the APS

Table A1.14 compares the personal and miscellaneous leave rate since 2016–17 across the whole-of-APS and broken down by agency size. During 2022–23, personal and miscellaneous leave rates increased across the APS and in each agency size group. This reverses the lower rates seen across the 2 previous financial years. This increase may reflect working conditions post-COVID, with many employees returning to the office.

Table A1.14: Personal and miscellaneous leave rates (2016–17 to 2022–23) by agency size (expressed as an average number of days)

Year	APS	Small	Medium	Large
2016–17	13.1	11.5	12.0	13.3
2017–18	13.3	11.0	11.9	13.5
2018–19	13.4	11.0	11.7	13.7

2021–22	12.8	10.1	11.1	13.1
2022–23	13.2	11.3	11.9	13.4

Table A1.15 provides personal and miscellaneous leave use and rates by agency for 2021–22 and 2022–23 (expressed as an average number of days). Note that for small agencies, a small number of individuals with a large amount of leave taken can influence the personal and miscellaneous leave rate substantially.
