Going public: The ins and outs of applying for a job with the APS

With more and more women in leadership changing the culture of government agencies from the top-down, the Australian Public Service (APS) is an employer of choice for women. Along with representative leadership (50% of roles at senior executive level are held by women), the public service offers competitive and regularly reviewed salaries, a flexible and inclusive working environment and a strong values and merit-based culture.

Our very own Head of Government Relations, Alex Grant, recently led a discussion with two exceptional women from the APS – Sarah Burr, Acting Assistant Secretary at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Jing-ting Chen, Senior Advisor at the National Indigenous Australians Agency.
