About Us
The Office of the Public Sector Standards Commissioner (OPSSC) was created under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 to:
- lead and establish standards and codes through the relevant legislation;
- assist agencies to comply with those standards and codes, through policy and practice; and
- monitor and report compliant and non compliant agency conduct.
OPSSC also recommends to the Minister for Public Sector Management people suitable for appointment as public sector chief executive officers.
This work is a quality assurance to the Western Australian community, the Parliament of Western Australia and the Minister for Public Sector Management. It assures that the public sector operates within a clearly defined set of principles and standards. These apply to every employee in the sector.
