Our staff take part in the annual Australian Public Service (APS) employee census, which asks APS employees about their attitudes and opinions on a range of work-related issues, including health and wellbeing, attendance, performance management, leadership, and general impressions of the APS.
The APS employee census is conducted in May each year.
In 2022, we achieved an 80% response rate to the census, with 92 out of 115 of our staff participating.
To promote transparency, we, along with many other agencies, make our census report public. You can download the report (as PDF or Excel files) at the bottom of this page.
