Data, digital and cyber workforce plan
The Australian Public Service has a key role to play in supporting the Australian Government’s visions for the future to deliver simple, secure, and connected public services for all people and business, and to establish Australia as a world leader in cyber security by 2030. These goals for our future can only become reality when supported by a capable and adaptable APS workforce with data, digital and cyber expertise.
In 2023, the Australian Government launched the Data and Digital Government Strategy and the 2023-30 Australian Cyber Security Strategy. These strategies set bold visions to deliver simple, secure and connected public services for all people and business, and to be a world leader in cyber security by 2030, respectively.
Realising these visions will not be possible without uplifting the capability of the Australian Public Service (APS) workforce. This Data, Digital and Cyber Workforce Plan has been produced as a call to action to attract, develop and retain data, digital and cyber talent in a unified and strategic way across the APS.
This learning experience has been provided by the Digital and Data Professions.
