Corporate Plan 2025–26

The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Corporate Plan for 2025–26.

Collaboration and cooperation

As part of our commitment to public service stewardship, we support the Secretaries Board in its purpose of providing leadership to the APS as an integrated organisation with a shared vision and purpose. As head of the APS, the Secretary of PM&C is the chair of the Secretaries Board.

Good advice and policy are informed by a diverse range of voices, views and perspectives, and are strengthened through collaboration with those individuals, organisations or sectors that could either be affected by the advice or policy, or who could contribute to achieving successful outcomes.

The department will continue to work in genuine partnership with the community to solve problems and co-design the best solutions to improve the lives of all Australians.

To develop informed and impactful advice and effective policies, the department collaborates with a range of stakeholders, as set out in Figure 1.
