Each year, the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) surveys all APS employees via the APS Employee Census.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (the Reef Authority) strongly encourages staff to participate in the survey each year.
- The census provides valuable insights into employee views across a range of important workplace-related topics, including:
- Employee engagement
- Wellbeing
- Leadership
- Working conditions
- Communication
- Change management
The census provides an impartial means of establishing a collective view of where the Reef Authority is performing well and areas for improvement.
It also allows us to compare how we are going against the APS more broadly.
In 2023, 73% of staff completed the census. This is a good result and ensures that the results represent a large portion of the workforce. This year, along with our agency level results, the Reef Authority has also produced and published an action plan to address areas of focus.
The results and action plan can be accessed via the links below:

Through the delivery of the identified actions, the Reef Authority is committed to ensuring the Reef Authority is a great place to work now and into the future.
