Targeted Voluntary Separation Packages

63 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (13 May 2020). How many targeted voluntary separation packages have been accepted across the public sector since 19 March 2018?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

Information on TVSPs is based on data collected from agencies by the Department of Treasury and Finance.

For 2017-18, agencies advised that a total of 436.7 FTEs accepted a TVSP at a cost of $37.6 million. Unless otherwise approved by the government, in 2017-18 agencies were responsible for managing costs associated with TVSPs. Detailed information on TVSPs funded by agencies during the year was not collected by Treasury and Finance and as such the additional information requested, including date of separation and position title, is not readily available. The only exceptions related to TVSPs associated with the previous government's transforming health initiative and rationalisation of the TAFE structure which were centrally funded. Of these 260 TVSPs (212 FTE) were paid during 2017-18, with 3 (2.8 FTE) being in the period 19 March to 30 June at a cost of $257,988.

In 2018-19, 1,554 TVSPs were accepted representing 1,431.2 FTEs for a total TVSP cost of $128,421,059.03.

In the 2019-20 financial year to 30 April 2020, 703 TVSPs have been accepted representing 617.2 FTEs for a total TVSP cost of $57,980,202.26.

Details of the agency, number of positions and total TVSP cost for 2018-19 and 2019-20 are provided in Tables 1 and 2 respectively.
