PM&C’s success is dependent on the quality of our workforce. Our people are the key to how the Department will continue to deliver a high standard of service and respond to transformational changes, a complex operating environment and technological developments.

We strive for excellence in everything we do. Making sure we have the right people and investing in them, promoting inclusion and diversity, collaborating, and enhancing our digital capability allows us to deliver.

We seek the best and brightest from across the APS and beyond, leveraging their diversity and expertise on a range of policies and programs, to provide robust, cogent and well-rounded advice to the Prime Minister. In turn we equip our people with experience and insights from the centre of government; skills that add value to them for performing future roles. Using a strengths-based performance management approach, we maximise the diverse experiences and strengths our people bring. Our capability investment and wellbeing strategy are focused on enabling our people to thrive in a fast-paced and high-profile environment.

Collaboration is a critical enabler for PM&C. We can only effectively deliver policy coordination functions and whole-of-government advice to the Prime Minister by working collaboratively within PM&C, across the APS, and with other sectors and jurisdictions.

We provide simple and secure access to information, strive for flexible working arrangements, and ensure that our leaders and stakeholders can engage with quality advice whenever and wherever they need it.

In short, we take the right people, value and develop their skills and experience, and give them the right settings to provide the best quality advice to the Government.
