Welcome to the South Australian public sector

We are a modern, flexible workplace that wants our workers to thrive and make a positive contribution to South Australia.

With a workforce of over 120,000, our agencies and departments span numerous areas including: health, environment, resources, transport, community service, justice, and education. Each strives to make a positive impact.

Today, you’ll learn a little more about the South Australian public sector, our ethics and our values.

As a new starter, the South Australian Public Sector Orientation Program is designed to welcome you.

Your agency or department will also conduct a formal, local induction to ensure you are aware of relevant policies and procedures.

About the program

The South Australian Public Sector Orientation Program is a self-paced online program that introduces new employees to the public sector. It provides an overview of the values, responsibilities and key information that will help employees understand how the public sector operates and what it means to work in it.

All new public sector employees are expected to complete this program.  Exisiting employees may also complete the program to refresh their knowledge.

The program, which should take about 45 minutes to complete, consists of six short modules that you can complete at your own pace.

This program provides general information about working in the South Australian public sector.

If you have questions about information in the program, speak with your manager or contact your agency's Human Resources team.
