Support for managers
The Australian Public Service Commission is committed to supporting and promoting a strong and effective management culture in the APS. Part of effective management is working well with diversity. Our vision is a culturally competent Australian Public Service which:
- operates in a culturally conscious and sensitive way
- practises practical reconciliation as part of its regular business
- provides equality of access and opportunity
- is a leading employer of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- encourages non-Indigenous employees to learn from their Indigenous colleagues
- demonstrates best practice management of Indigenous employees, and
- contributes significantly to improving social and economic outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
On these pages you will find information and guides to assist you to implement best practice in relation to the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Indigenous Australian Public Service Employee Network (IAPSEN)
IAPSEN is dedicated to helping Indigenous Australians improve their employment opportunities within the Australian Public Service. The network was established as an Australian Public Service Commission initiative in response to a need for Indigenous APS employees to have a means of networking with each other.
IAPSENs provide an important mechanism for Indigenous employees to support each other, share information and experiences and promote cultural awareness and respect in the wider APS.
The IAPSEN website is available at www.apsc.gov.au/iapsen
