About the Commission
The Commission was established on 28 November 2008 under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 to enhance the integrity, professionalism and independence of the Western Australian public sector.
Since its inception, the Commission's focus has been on defining and finalising its direction, functions and organisational structure. As well as engaging in a thorough strategic planning process, the Commission has continued to undertake those functions transferred from the former Public Sector Management Division, Office of e-Government and Accountability Support Unit in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet.
The Commission has also undertaken considerable work associated with machinery of government changes where agencies and portfolios have been restructured. As a member of the Economic Audit Committee and sponsor of the Committee's Modernising the Public Sector theme, the Commission has also supported the activities of the Economic Audit Committee.
