Digital Profession

Agencies and teams

Demand is rising for a digitally skilled APS and Commonwealth workforce. But technology is always advancing – and so are the capabilities needed to deliver services.

  • attract, retain and develop staff with specialist digital skills
  • improve the digital literacy of senior leaders
