Government AdministrationAustralian Capital Territory, Australia201-500 Employees
The Australian Public Service Commission is a government administration agency that aims to maintain a high-performing, apolitical and impartial public service capable of delivering quality outcomes for the Australian Government, business, and community. Based in Parkes in the Australian Capital Territory, it employs a workforce in the low hundreds and works to coordinate workforce policy, capability development, and governance across the public service. This positioning situates the APSC as a central driver of public-sector effectiveness, serving federal government and public-sector stakeholders. In recent activity, the commission has pursued partnerships to strengthen workforce capability, including a collaboration with the National Indigenous Australians Agency in 2024 to uplift cultural capability among First Nations employees. It has conducted a representative national survey launched in 2022 and published the 2023 Trust in Public Service report, reflecting its role in monitoring trust and performance within the public service.
