Remote Work

In reply to Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (5 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning): I have been advised that for the Department for Trade and Investment:

There is no specific ongoing budget for remote work infrastructure. Remote work is a business-as-usual capability that has been undertaken by the Department for Trade and Investment over several years. The department uses cloud infrastructure which allows for both on-premises and remote activity. All staff are issued with portable devices as standard practice.

An amount of $20,000 was incurred in 2022-23 to enable an application to be accessed off-premise.
