Operational context
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) supports the Prime Minister in his many roles – leader of the Australian Government, Chair of the Cabinet, Chair of the National Cabinet and Minister for the Australian Public Service (APS). We also support the Secretary as head of the APS and Chair of the Secretaries Board.
Strategic co-ordination
Working closely and in partnership with our stakeholders is important to the achievement of PM&C’s mission of improving the lives of Australians.
Capability
Our people are core to our success. To support the operations of Government and Cabinet to deliver for the Australian people in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment, we must have the right mix of people with diverse skills and life experience.
Diversity and inclusion
Our aim is to represent the Australia we serve. To do this, we will strengthen the diversity of our workforce to ensure a rich culture which is safe, respectful and reflective of Australian communities. Our work environment will support all employees to confidently bring their whole selves to work, to make a positive contribution and to reach their full potential.
ICT tools and capability
We work in a highly responsive, fast paced and flexible work environment where collaboration internally and externally is key to supporting Government priorities. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability is a critical enabler to our success so ongoing investment in our ICT systems will continue.
Risk management
PM&C manages risk in a dynamic and responsive manner. Accordingly, we have a Risk Management Policy and Framework that reflects our uniquely complex and fast-paced operating environment. Our centralised risk management function works closely with the business planning, performance and audit functions.
