Aboriginal Employment

In reply to Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (24 July 2019). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been provided the following advice:

From 18 March 2018 to 30 June 2018, there were 101 recruitments of self-identified Aboriginal people to a public sector position (the data available to the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment does not identify whether these people were new to the public sector or were current employees). No self-identified Aboriginal people were recruited by South Australia Police (SAPOL) during this period.

Aboriginal employment data from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 is currently being compiled by the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment for inclusion in the 2018-19 Workforce Information Report. This report will be published in 2019.
