Public Sector Executives

In reply to Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (26 July 2019). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised of the following:

There is no statutory obligation to publish the remuneration information of Chief Executives on the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment (OCPSE) website.

The decision to do so stems from an election commitment made by the Premier to deliver open and accountable government to the South Australian community.

The information was first published in October 2018 and relates only to chief executives of a department or attached office employed by the Premier pursuant to Part 6 of the Public Sector Act 2009. As the contracts of employment of relevant chief executives are maintained by the OCPSE, the OCPSE is responsible for updating and maintaining the published information as required.
