Full-Time Equivalents

In reply to Mr COWDREY (Colton) ((17 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer): The following information is provided on behalf of all Ministers:

The FTE count for each agency at 30 June 2022 will be published in the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment's Workforce Information Report for 2021-22 towards the end of 2022.

Each Agency Statement provides an estimate for the budget year (2022-23) of FTEs for the agency. As the FTE numbers are notional across the forward estimates, FTEs are not included by individual agency in budget statements.

The total employment cost and FTE levels for each year of the forward estimates can be found in Tables 2.8 and 2.9 respectively of the 2022-23 Budget Statement.

While each agency has a savings task over the forward estimates, any FTE reductions associated with this task are notional and based on estimates of how the savings across the forward estimates may be delivered. chief executives have the flexibility to deliver the savings in the manner that best suits the needs of the agency.

The government does not have a TVSP target for FTEs. The budget includes a provision of $56 million in 2022-23 to support agencies in meeting the costs of TVSPs and/or separation payments up to 31 January 2023.
