APS review – have your say

The Turnbull government has commissioned a review of the APS which will report in 2019. The APS Review gives us an opportunity to tell your story on what’s happening in the APS and what can be done to make things better, for our workplaces and for the communities that rely on the policy, enforcement and services you deliver. Your feedback will help inform the CPSU submission.

All responses will be treated in confidence and will be presented as CPSU member feedback.
