Agency Purpose
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is an independent statutory authority established by the Australian Government to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters through active electoral roll management, efficient delivery of polling services, and targeted education and public awareness programs.
The AEC’s values and commitments
The AEC values and commitments are an essential component of our operating environment and frame how AEC staff work. The AEC's focus is on electoral integrity through the values of quality, agility and professionalism.
The Team
The Enterprise Change Management Office (ECMO) provides support and advice to AEC staff to prepare, adopt and embrace change and transformation, and strives to be the AEC’s change management centre of excellence.
The ECMO’s purpose is to support the AEC to meet its full potential through realising its organisational benefits by focusing on the people side of change. This is achieved by providing the structure and support to build sustainable change management capability and maturity across the agency. The ECMO contributes to a positive work culture that enables increased productivity and the likelihood of project delivery, change success and benefits realisation.
