Get the most out of PACMAN

A SERIES of regional workshops designed for administrators who use the Pay and Conditions Manual (PACMAN) Version 2 has started, with a theme of “Getting the Most Out of PACMAN”.

There are many new and improved features to assist users to get the most out of the manual, according to Sue Parr, Director General Personnel Policy Employment Conditions Branch, DPE.

“The workshops have been designed to provide users of Pacman Version 2 with an opportunity to advance their skills in using the new online and hard copy versions,” Ms Parr said.

“These workshops are an important part of a broader change management strategy to support administrators to move to the new manual. Users will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the improved accessibility and navigation features Version 2 offers and to provide feedback.”

Workshops will be held for military and civilian administrators in all major regions. They will be completed in December, before the posting cycle.

Workshops will be held in: September – Sydney West, Northern Territory and Riverina-Murray Valley; October – ACT, North Queensland and South Queensland; November – Western Australia, South Australia, Northern NSW and Sydney Central; and December – Southern Victoria and Tasmania.

Expressions of interest in attending these workshops can be forwarded to PACMAN@defence.gov.au.
