PM&C plays a key leadership role in ensuring the APS delivers on the Prime Minister's and the government's priorities. We play an important role in driving a whole-of-government and whole-of-nation approach, at both a national and international level.
In support of the Prime Minister's responsibilities for delivery of government priorities, PM&C uses a range of mechanisms to help APS agencies to succeed and ensure government policies, programs and decisions are successfully implemented. We evaluate this activity through a series of measures designed to assess the effectiveness and timeliness of our coordination and support for these mechanisms.
