It’s a little known fact that when the Government of the day looks like a chook with it’s head cut off, the Australian Public Service (APS) run the nation. They have more experience and expertise and in many cases, do a better job. I’ve spend a lot of time in Canberra, working in Federal politics (the horror) and the Australian Public Service in the Department of Employment. I’m still trying to get warm after those winters! Looking for a job in the APS?

Below is the scree from the APS jobs portal:

“The Australian Public Service (APS) is the place to realise your potential.
