People management
The Commission’s workforce initiatives, as described here, are proving to be effective in providing a workforce to support our contemporary role.

Consultancy services and procurement
The Commission’s policy on selecting and engaging consultants is based on the relevant Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines and Chief Executive Instructions.

Information management
The management of the Commission’s information services is guided by its Information Technology Advisory Committee which has oversight of the development and implementation of the Commission’s information technology strategy.

Ministerial liaision
The number of briefs the Commission prepared in 2004–05 was similar to the previous year, however, there was a significant decline in the number of Commission responses prepared to ministerial correspondence.

Ethical standards and accountability
The Commission actively promotes ethical standards among its staff through promotion of the APS values and code of conduct.

Ecological and environmental management
The Commission does not administer any legislation or have any appropriations directly related to these issues, and, accordingly, the Commission’s involvement relates to practices that can improve energy management and environmental practices within the Commission.
