The APS Employee Census is an annual survey that collects confidential feedback from APS employees on a wide range of workforce topics, including:

It provides all APS employees with an opportunity to share their experiences and perspectives on working in the public service.

Culture: A Core Pillar of Our Transformation
The 2023 Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) Capability Review of DAFF highlighted organisational culture as a key area for improvement. In response, the department made Culture one of the four pillars of its Transformation Program. This initiative aims to strengthen workplace culture, ensuring our people feel valued and connected to our purpose.
Using the Results
This year, our department combined insights from both the APS Employee Census and a Culture Survey to develop a holistic ‘Culture Action Plan’. This plan identifies key themes for improvement and outlines targeted actions and desired behaviours to enhance our workplace culture, increasing our attractiveness as an employer.
We are committed to transparency and accountability. By sharing our Census results and Culture Action Plan, we aim to foster trust and demonstrate our dedication to continuous improvement.
