Trade, Tourism and Investment Department

In reply to the Hon. J.E. HANSON (20 June 2019).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment): I have been advised:

1. The new Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment (DTTI) organisational structure has reduced by eight executive roles and fourteen non-executive roles at various classification levels.

No employees from DTTI have had their hours cut or been made to work as contractors.

DTTI is currently implementing its organisational structure as published on 2 July 2019. The associated departmental FTE cap as at 30 June 2019 was 136, with the department having vacancies of five FTE pending the implementation of the new organisational structure. This excludes ministerial office staff and the Office of the State Coordinator-General.
