APS Employee Census results
The Australian Public Service (APS) Employee Census is an annual employee perception survey conducted across the APS. The survey is designed to collect employee opinions and perspectives on a range of topics, such as employee engagement, leadership, communication, innovation, and wellbeing. Between May and June 2025, 87% of our people responded to the Census.
