Submission to the APS Reform Stage 2 Integrity Initiatives Public Consultation

Integrity is the foundation of APS professionalism and the public’s confidence that the APS will act in the best interests of and will deliver the best outcomes for Australia. A wide appreciation among all APS employees of this role and the values and behaviours that underpin it is critical.

On 11 November 2024 the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia made a submission to the public consultation on APS Reform Stage 2 Integrity Initiatives. The submission focuses on the proposed development of an APS Code of Conduct Database and an APS Integrity Data Dashboard.

The submission makes seven recommendations, which are intended to be practical and support the design of integrity strategies and cultures that embed integrity as a core value.
