The State Service Principles outline the values and standards that guide employment, conduct and workplace practices across the State Service.

The principles support:

  • fair, transparent and merit-based employment practices
  • effective and responsible workplace management
  • high stands of service to government and the community
  • collaboration, accountability and professionalism.

All State Service employees, officers and heads of agency must uphold the principles. Heads of agency are also responsible for promoting them.
