Protect APS Working Conditions

Peter Dutton's proposed changes represent a critical threat to the effectiveness and sustainability of the APS.

We, the undersigned APS professionals and supporters, strongly oppose the Coalition's proposed changes to the Australian Public Service working conditions.

What We're Fighting Against:

  • The elimination of 34,000 APS positions
  • Removal of flexible working arrangements
  • Mandatory 5-day office attendance policy
  • Undermining of existing Enterprise Bargaining agreements

Why is this important?

  • These changes would severely impact work-life balance for APS professionals
  • The proposal ignores the successful implementation of hybrid working models
  • It disregards the national nature of many APS agencies and their operations
  • The changes could lead to significant loss of expertise in the public service

By signing this petition, you're standing up for:

  • Fair working conditions
  • Professional autonomy
  • Work-life balance
  • Evidence-based workplace policies
