A new Australian Public Service Academy
The Hon Ben Morton MP, Assistant Minister to the Minister for the Public Service, has announced the establishment of an APS Academy.
The APS Academy is a recommendation of the recent review into the Commission’s role in learning and development in the APS.
The APS Academy will transform the APS learning and development practice and promote excellence in capability development and will focus on leadership, integrity and core APS craft capabilities.
The APS Academy will connect to existing APS centres of excellence, as well as developing external networks with academic institutions and specialist providers. The focus on the APS Academy will be to deliver specific public service capability development from mid-2021.
The shift to building end-to-end public service craft capabilities is a change from the APSC’s current focus on core skills development, however we are keen for agencies to have access to the learning resources they need and are exploring how this might be facilitated.
We’ll keep you updated as we transition from the Centre for Leadership and Learning to the APS Academy.
