Australian Public Service (APS) Employee Census
The APS Employee Census (APS Census) is an annual survey. The APS Census:
- collects confidential information from staff in APS agencies on issues in the workplace, and
- allows the APS workforce to share their experiences of working in the APS.
The APS Census measures:
- engagement
- wellbeing
- innovation
- communication and
- leadership.
The Australian Public Sector Commission (APSC) Privacy Policy (Part B) states how the APS collects, uses and discloses personal information. This relates to all functions of the APSC, including the APS Census.

Agency Action Plan
The NDIA’s Agency Action Plan lays out what the NDIA will focus on over the next year.
