Savings Targets

In reply to Mr McBRIDE (MacKillop) (29 June 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer): The following information is provided on behalf of all ministers:

The 2023-24 budget included an executive reduction measure which requires a reduction of 50 executives across government in 2023-24. This savings measure will be allocated to agencies during 2023-24.

For existing operating efficiency measures, chief executives have the flexibility to deliver the savings in a manner that best suits the needs of their agency. Savings do not need to include FTE reductions and a range of options can be pursued including reducing expenditure on consultants, contractors, marketing, communications, accommodation, travel, and other goods and services.
