Rationale
Ensuring the APS remains deeply connected and reflective of the community’s diversity will support the APS to design and deliver programs, services and policy that meets the demands and expectations of the Australian Government and people and foster trust in the integrity of the APS. Additionally, by ensuring all APS employees feel included, supported and valued, the APS will be more productive, innovative and effective—lifting public service capability and building leadership for the future. Reporting will enable the Commission to track agencies’ progress and identify opportunities to improve diversity and inclusion outcomes.
