Auditor-General's Report

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14 November 2023).

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised:

The Outback Communities Authority's Financial Report for the year ending 30 June 2023, page 13, reports one employee in the $320,001 to $340,000 band in 2022-23.

The increase is due to the separation of the former Director of the Outback Communities Authority on 31 January 2023. As a result, payout of leave entitlements moved them into the higher remuneration band.

The position of Director, Outback Communities Authority is remunerated at SAES 1 level.
