Are you feeling stuck, unsure of your next career move, or struggling to negotiate your Key Expected Results (KERs) during the annual performance cycle?
Career progression in government requires more than just doing a good job. It requires strategic long-term planning, an intimate understanding of mandatory performance frameworks, and managing your work performance for absolute promotion readiness.
All Career packages are strictly aligned to Federal and State Level Leadership and Core Capability Frameworks. Delivered via Australia-wide private, secure video link coaching services.
Unlike interview preparation, Career and Performance Coaching is a long-term strategic partnership. It is designed to help current APS and State Government employees successfully navigate mandatory agency structures like the Non-SES Performance Framework and PFADS. We coach you on how to master frequent quality conversations, negotiate your KPIs and KERs, utilize the C-MAP System™ for capability mapping, and deliberately manage and lift your work performance for promotion readiness.
The bureaucracy of the public sector can either stall your career or be leveraged to accelerate it. Our mentoring programs deliver precise, actionable outcomes.
Unsure of your public sector purpose? We utilise the C-MAP System™ Capability Mapping to find your exact APS career purpose and fit, ensuring long-term professional satisfaction.
Outcome: Managing and lifting your day-to-day work performance for absolute promotion readiness.
Poorly drafted Key Expected Results are a trap. We coach you on how to drive frequent quality conversations with your manager and negotiate metrics that highlight your leadership rather than burying you in operational tasks.
Outcome: A documented performance plan that forces management to recognize you for promotion.
Under new APS frameworks, how you deliver (your behaviour) is now scored just as heavily as what you deliver. We align your progression strategy with the APS Values and Secretaries Charter of Leadership behaviours.
Outcome: Strategic long-term planning mapping out clear APS to SES pathways.
A one-time investment in your career trajectory can yield a $10k–$50k salary increase at your next promotion. Choose the partnership that fits your ambition.
The 12-week partnership for establishing direction, overcoming burnout, and building immediate promotion momentum.
A comprehensive 6-month partnership introducing strategic capability mapping and formal performance cycle negotiation.
The elite toolkit for APS and EL staff. Advanced leadership mentoring, full C-MAP diagnostics, and stakeholder buy-in tools.
Mandated for all APS agencies by 2028, the Non-SES Performance Framework shifts the focus to "frequent quality conversations" rather than just static annual reviews. Crucially, it dictates that behaviours (how you deliver outcomes) are just as important as the outcomes themselves. Excellence in your KPIs cannot offset poor workplace behaviour that misaligns with the APS Values.
Many agencies, such as the Department of Defence, use PFADS (Performance Feedback Assessment and Development Scheme) to drive their annual performance cycle. These cycles require structured checkpoint conversations to set expectations, review KPIs and KERs, and align your output with the agency's Enterprise Agreement (EA).
Yes. Your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Expected Results (KERs) dictate your performance metrics and promotion viability. If you allow your manager to set vague or purely operational metrics, you cannot prove you are ready for a promotion at the end of the cycle. We coach you on how to negotiate strategic, measurable metrics that set you up for executive advancement.
Absolutely. Our coaching team includes professionals who hold high-level security clearances (e.g., NV1). We understand the critical nature of discretion, and all career strategy and performance discussions are kept strictly confidential and independent from your agency.
Stop navigating complex progression barriers alone. Partner with NV1-cleared experts who know the system from the inside out.
