Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has thanked public servants, and promised to rebuild the public service.
"For all of the dedicated public servants.
"Being a public servant is an honorable profession," he said in his final address of the Jobs and Skill Summit.
"And one of the things that we have to do as a new government is to rebuild the public service. Rebuild it as a body that can give frank and fearless advice, rebuild it as a body that is given respect and ensure that it can deliver the sort of advice and delivery of services that Australians can expect.
"One of the things that I believe has characterised the first 100 days of the government I'm proud to lead, is ministers going to their departments and talking to their people in those departments on the ground and engaging with them and encouraging them to be the best that they can be."
