The Department of Home Affairs, including the Australian Border Force (ABF), participates in the annual Australian Public Service (APS) Employee Census (Census). The Census collects information from APS employees on important issues including their health and wellbeing, innovation, workplace behaviour, leadership, and general impressions of the APS and the agency.
The Department of Home Affairs is committed to taking action on census results, and uses the results as a "support card" to assess and monitor staff engagement and gauge what is important to our most important asset – our people.
Results for each year are contained in the Home Affairs Highlights Reports, which can be found under the headings below.
In 2024, in line with the APS Reform Agenda and to meet updates to the
Public Service Act 1999, a Home Affairs 2024 APS Employee Census Action Plan is also available.
