OUR PEOPLE
Our most important asset
MPS’ greatest strength is its people. We hire dependable, positive, self-motivated and team-oriented people who have highly developed analytical skills and excellent attention to detail. We support a wide range of diversity groups representative of different genders, age, disability, LGBTI+, carers, First Nations people and cultures.
MPS has an extremely high retention rate as a result of our inclusive and award-winning management style. We are collaborative across our teams to continually improve our end-to-end processes, for example our business process improvement initiatives. These practices are simultaneously enhancing MPS business performance, engagement, and well-being.
Our approach to inclusion and building a high performing team has enabled MPS to continue to flourish, despite the rapidly changing operating environment and Government policies.

Award winning management

MPS boasts a very low turnover in staff and this is something we pride ourselves on. This brings longevity in skill sets to the Commonwealth and a very stable business model that has been in operation for over 18 years.
Supporting families and
work-life balance
Our workplace let’s you be you and we encourage flexibility. We like results and we are not so hung up on the hours. If work is finished early, go ahead and spend the rest of the time at the beach or looking after family admin. MPS prides itself on supporting families by providing flexible work practices, including breastfeeding breaks and a family friendly environment. We actively support parental leave for both parents, including a gradual return to work and keeping in touch during your parental leave.
