Remote Work

In reply to Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (19 June 2025). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Workforce and Population Strategy): I have been advised that for the Department for Environment and Water:

The Department for Environment and Water does not have a specific budget for remote work infrastructure, including digital tools, cybersecurity, and support services. Therefore the percentage of the department's budget that has been allocated to this service cannot be identified.

The department's budgeted expenditure for information and communication technology for the financial year 2025-26 is $13.346 million. This is consistent with previous years.
