Auditor-General's Report

In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (30 October 2024).

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised:

TAFE SA implemented a new recruitment and onboarding system (PageUp) in September 2023 which impacted the compliance rate as mentioned above.

TAFE SA has implemented a new process in October of 2024 whereby contracts are monitored 7, 5 and 3 days out from the contracted start date. This process combined with collaboration with education leadership, has seen a significant improvement in the compliance of contracts signed prior to employment commencement.

The two business units that had higher noncompliance rates in 2023-24 were Future Industry and Trade and Health Community and Foundation Skills.
