APS6 to EL1 Comparison Table
This resource provides a side-by-side comparison of the APS6 and EL1 Integrated Leadership System (ILS) capabilities. It is designed to help APS employees, managers, and aspirant leaders better understand the shift in responsibilities and expectations when moving from APS6 to EL1.
This table is based on my interpretation of publicly available APSC resources, including the APS-1 to APS-6 and EL1 to SES ILS comparatives. It is my view of the world and is not endorsed by the APSC. Users should apply the information at their own risk and in accordance with their own judgment.
The table highlights key differences:
- Bold text indicates major differences between APS6 and EL1 responsibilities.
- Italicised text indicates minor nuances or wording differences.
This resource can be used for self-assessment, career planning, team discussions, or coaching purposes. It is intended to provide insight and stimulate reflection on leadership expectations, rather than serve as an official guide.
I recommend grabbing a cup of tea or coffee and a quiet space to review this table over the next few days.
