Staff talk about why they love working in the APS

00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01
- Last time I did one of
these, I forgot my name.
00:00:01,770 --> 00:00:02
So that was a good start.
00:00:02,873 --> 00:00:05
(upbeat music)
00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:06
I like working in the APS,
00:00:06,750 --> 00:00:09
'cause I like to help people,
not just all Australians,
00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:11
but also my Aboriginal
00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:13
and Torres Strait Islander communities.
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:17
- When you hear a community
group say thank you,
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19
nothing compares to that.
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20
- I like to be a part of something
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:24
that's bigger than myself,
working with other APS employees.
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26
- I love working in the APS,
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:29
because it's about
helping Australian people.
00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:31
- You can see the daily
impact that you have
00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:34
on the lives of Australians
lifting the quality
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37
of their life through the
services that we offer.
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:38
- I thought about this, sorry.
00:00:38,778 --> 00:00:39
(Caroline chuckles)
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:41
- If more people have their say,
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:44
the better the outcome for the APS.
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:46
- This creates a diverse environment
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48
for all APS employees to feel included
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49
and welcomed to work in.
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53
- It's really important that
we speak up and we be honest.
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57
- You can tell people what might happen
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:58
that no one else might know.
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01
- Without everyone's input,
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03
the APS would not continue to evolve.
00:01:03,994 --> 00:01:07
(bright upbeat music)
