The Australian Public Service (APS) HR Profession encourages collaboration, learning, promotion of better practice and sharing knowledge and experience.
The HR Professional community recognises and leverages best practice across the public service. The HR Professions holds live or face-to-face networking opportunities and events across Australia.
Why is this community important?
The HR Profession community supports a whole-of-APS approach to attracting, developing, retaining, and deploying a highly capable workforce. By connecting HR professionals across agencies, the network helps build consistent people management practices, share expertise, and strengthen workforce capability across the employment lifecycle.
Through collaboration, learning, and professional development opportunities, the network enables HR practitioners to deliver strategic workforce solutions, support organisational performance, and help agencies respond to current and emerging workforce challenges. Ultimately, this contributes to a more capable, adaptable, and high-performing APS that can deliver better outcomes for government and the community.
