What is APSEDii?
APSEDii stands for ‘Australian Public Service Employment Database internet interface’. The latest interface is an interactive dashboard style presentation of workforce characteristics of the Australian Public Service.
Where does the data come from?
The main data source is the APS Employment Database (APSED) which contains data provided by Agencies from their Human Resources (HR) systems to the Australian Public Service Commission (the Commission) on employee movements such as engagements, promotions and separations. From time to time data from sources other than APSED may be added to the dashboard.
The APSED data component of the dashboard only relates to employees covered by the Public Service Act 1999 (the PS Act). Employees in Commonwealth-owned companies, statutory authorities, the Australian Defence Force and government business enterprises who are not employed under the PS Act are not included. State and local government employees are also not included.
More detailed information on APSED and APSEDii can be found on the APSED page of the Australian Public Service Commission website.
APSEDii can be contacted by email at apsedii@apsc.gov.au
Are there any specific requirements for using the dashboard?
The only requirement is a computer and an up-to-date web browser.
Minimum browser requirements are: Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or later, Google Chrome version 15 or later, Firefox version 6 or later. Future versions of the dashboard will be configured to run on Android and Apple tablets.
How do I use the dashboard?
The dashboard opens with a series of tabs across the top (Figure 1). Click on tabs to open a page of the report.

All pages of the dashboard report work best when viewed in full-screen mode – use your browser toolbar to enable full-screen mode. For example in Microsoft Internet Explorer, when the browser is not full-screen you can click on the small rectangular icon in the top right-hand corner to enable full-screen mode (Figure 3).
