Performance measure 2

Performance measure 2 Provide effective coordination, delivery and leadership with partners across the APS-enterprise for the APS Reform agenda
Key activity Strengthen APS-wide and external partnerships to deliver
Rationale The Commission currently leads or will lead several APS Reform initiatives that require successful external collaborations and partnerships (e.g. with businesses, academia, First Nations communities and organisations, and the public more broadly). The reference to APS-wide partnerships captures the need for the Commission to collaborate across the service to guide and oversee the embedding of APS Reform outcomes. The reform outcomes include:

  1. Public sector employees act with and champion integrity.
  2. Public sector employees are stewards of the public service.
  3. The APS delivers human and user-centred policy and service excellence.
  4. The APS has effective relationships and partnerships with First Nations peoples.
  5. The APS employee value proposition is attractive.
  6. The APS sets the standard for equity, inclusion and diversity.
  7. The APS sets the standard for First Nations employment and cultural competency.
  8. The APS continuously improves its capabilities.

As APS Reform outcomes mature in implementation, the Commission will uplift measurement beyond outputs towards effectiveness. For example, there could be a measure around how APS employees have greater understanding of how the APS Reform will be implemented in their own context and across the enterprise. This could be documented through surveys or case studies. The outcomes of the APS Reform agenda will take time to show material and tangible change. Internal and external data sources will need to be further developed from a mix of APS data sources as the APS Reform further matures. *Note: For each outcome there is a set of initiatives.
2023–24 Planned Performance Result 2.1 The Commission effectively led the implementation approach and progression of APS Reform in collaboration with the whole of APS, evidenced by progress across Government in delivering reform initiatives and the 8 program outcomes.
2024–25 to 2026–27 PPR As per 2023–24.
Measurement methodology To determine the progress of APS Reform, progress against reform initiatives will be tracked through the existing APS Reform Reporting Model and the annual Minister for the Public Service Progress Report. Initiative leads will provide progress against each initiative, all major milestones, intended outputs and effects, which will be further assessed by the Secretaries Board and its sub-committees to ensure objectivity.
