Remote Work

In reply to Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (23 June 2025). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I have been advised that for the Department of the Primary Industries and Regions:

There is no agency budget allocated specifically to the management of remote work infrastructure. This is included in the general monitoring and management of the entire PIRSA network environment. The agency supports flexible working by providing devices such as laptops to staff. These digital tools were also provided in the prior years.

The agency has an annual cybersecurity program of work which uplifts the agency's posture against the South Australian Cyber Security Framework (SACSF). While this program is not dedicated to 'remote work' per se, it does improve our security posture for all staff including those working remotely.
