APS Employee Census results

The Australian Public Service (APS) Employee Census (the Census) surveys all APS employees between May and June each year on important workforce issues such as job satisfaction, employee engagement, performance management, leadership, and general impressions of the APS. 

2025 Census results

With 283 out of 305 employees responding, we achieved a 93% response rate. This is a strong effort and these responses will help shape the DTA.

Our results highlight continued strong performance with the Employee Engagement Index remaining at 74% showing that our people are motivated, inspired and enabled to improve our agency’s outcomes.

Our focus on wellbeing and inclusion shows positive results, with most respondents reporting satisfaction with non-monetary benefits, flexible work, and health support. Also, over 75% of our people felt they could discuss their mental health with their supervisors if needed. This is a true testament to the work we are doing to make the DTA a supportive and healthy workplace.
