House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Estimates Replies Full-Time Vacancies Unfilled Full-Time Vacancies Unfilled In reply to Mr SZAKACS House of Assembly Cheltenham Full-Time Vacancies Unfilled In reply to Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (18 November 2020). (Estimates Committee B) The Hon. R.I. LUCAS House of Assembly Treasurer The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following: There were a number of roles that were vacant across the agency, mainly due to the implementation of the new structure on 1 July 2019. This resulted in: a number of newly created roles being advertised and most of which were filled internally, thereby moving the vacancy to the relevant substantive role; conscious decisions not to fill particular positions immediately, in order to ensure functions were adequate for the work being performed; and some vacancies occurring for short period of time (six to eight weeks) resulting in limited options to backfill positions. SafeWork SA had six vacancies across the agency (Regulator and Educator) as at 30 June 2020.
