VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly Stuart Minister for Energy and Mining Workforce Summary The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): I refer to the first table on page 58 of the Budget Measures Statement, part 2. The target full-time equivalent (FTE) reduction for the Department for Energy and Mining as part of our savings strategy is 20 FTE's by 2021-22. The South Australian government uses full-time equivalents (FTEs) to measure workforce budgets and not headcount. The calculation and reporting of employee expense budgets and savings across the forward estimates are on an FTE basis. The department is currently reviewing the amalgamation and collaboration of delivery functions and teams across the department and merger of resource operations across the divisions to achieve the budgeted savings.
