Executive Appointments

In reply to Ms PRATT (Frome) (21 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

From 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, there were 62 executive appointments made, across 13 agencies. There was a net decrease of 11 executive positions, taking into consideration resignations, abolishment of roles and terminations.

The total annual employment cost for these appointments is $15,834,924 (excluding on costs).

Additionally, there are three statutory positions reporting to the minister, which are not included in executive appointment numbers:

Chief Psychiatrist

Mental Health Commissioner

Health and Community Services Complaints Commissioner

Individual executive total remuneration package values (TRPV) as detailed in schedule 2 of an executive employee’s contract will not be disclosed as it is deemed to be unreasonable disclosure of personal affairs.
