The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) is led by the Secretary for the Civil Service and has approximately 600 staff.

The CSB absorbed the Official Languages Agency (from 1 July 2003) and the Civil Service Training and Development Institute (from 1 April 2004).[1]

On 15 January 2021, the CSB announced that civil servants must either sign an oath or a declaration to pledge loyalty to the government.[2] In response, Leung Chau-ting, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Civil Service Unions, said that the requirements were too vague and that the requirement would give the government power to discipline civil servants.[3]
