Following amendments to the Government Sector Employment Act (2013), the Public Service Commission was merged with the Premier's Department from 1 July 2024. This website is now managed and maintained by the Premier's Department.
The annual NSW People Matter Employee Survey asks NSW public sector employees about their experience and perceptions of a range of workplace issues and practices, including management and leadership, service delivery, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, public sector values, and unacceptable conduct.
The survey is conducted by the Premier’s Department with assistance from NSW public sector agencies and Ipsos, an external service provider. Ipsos is a member of the Australian Data and Insights Association (ADIA) and adheres to the Privacy (Market and Social Research) Code 2021.
The summary results of the survey help agencies identify elements of good practice and areas in need of further improvement. The survey results also provide evidence to help target strategies to build NSW Public Sector capability.
The 2024 summary results will be published in November 2024.
