Integrated Leadership System

Since 1999 the Senior Executive Leadership Capability (SELC) Framework has become the 'standard' for Senior Executive selection and development within the Australian Public Service (APS). Building on this framework the Integrated Leadership System (ILS) has been developed to provide a common language for leadership development in the APS.

The ILS provides capability development guidance for individuals and agencies in the form of descriptions and behaviours for all levels in the APS. It contains practical tools for individuals and agencies to chart leadership development.

The ILS is flexible and offers agencies across the public service and leadership pathway suited to their particular contexts and challenges.

Management Advisory Committee (MAC)
The Management Advisory Committee is a forum of Secretaries and Agency Heads established to advise the Australian Government on matters relating to APS management. In its advisory function the Committee considers management issues where analysis, discussion, and the identification of better practice approaches would inform and promote improvements in public administration.
