Strategic priorities
Our four strategic priorities remain fit-for-purpose for 2022-23 and beyond. These priorities shape our approach as we strive to achieve our purpose.
| Support Quality Public Service Workforce Management |
| High-quality workforce management is critical to fostering an effective and future-ready public service. We support quality public service workforce management through the continued implementation of Delivering for Tomorrow: APS Workforce Strategy 2025. Under the Strategy, we support the APS to build the capabilities and establish the systems that will enable the APS to recruit, develop and retain a diverse and inclusive, flexible and responsive, high-performing workforce. |
| Lift Public Service Capability |
| A systematic, service-wide approach to lifting the capability of our people will improve the overall performance of the APS, today and into the future. We are igniting a culture of learning and enabling APS people, teams and organisations to excel as part of a high performing, skilled and connected enterprise. |
| Build Leadership for the Future |
| Empowered and accountable leaders are critical to a professional and effective public service. We work with Agency Heads to shape an APS leadership workforce that is future ready. We will build leadership for the future by managing SES succession planning, career pathways, diversity, mobility, talent identification and recruitment. We remain clearly focused on developing leadership that reflects the diversity of the Australian community. |
| Foster Trust in Public Service Integrity |
| Creating and maintaining a strong culture of integrity is crucial to public confidence and trust in the APS. The APS Values, Code of Conduct and Employment Principles reflect an established framework for institutional integrity. We will provide the best possible advice to APS agencies and employees on applying this framework, and continue to model and promote a high standard of integrity. We will support the public, Australian Government, and our domestic and international partners to have trust in public service integrity by providing a compelling and transparent picture of the APS through information-sharing initiatives. |
