Performance Feedback Assessment and Development Scheme (PFADS)
The Performance Feedback Assessment and Development Scheme is the performance management
scheme for all Defence APS employees. The scheme provides a clear link between employee effort and
achievement goals, allowing employees to see the relationship between what they do and the contribution
they make to the achievement of Defence goals.
Go to “You and Your Job” at http://intranet.defence.gov.au/drinhome/links_137.htm and click on
“Performance Management (PFADS)”. This will take you to further information about PFADS.
