ReturnToWorkSA

In reply to Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (24 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following:

In the restructure of SafeWork SA's workforce that occurred in 2018-19, the number of inspector or investigator roles were not reduced.

However, leadership and support functions within those teams have reduced to improve operations, while achieving required budget savings. In addition, service offerings previously available within the Education function have been streamlined or reduced. Consequently, the FTE count in 2017-18 and 2018-19 in terms of functions were as follows:

Function 2017-18 2018-19
Inspectorate 102.0 FTE 91.0 FTE
Investigations 14.0 FTE 13.0 FTE
Education 41.0 FTE 28.0 FTE
Business support 57.0 FTE 44.5 FTE
