Public Service Employees

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 FTE count for each agency at 30 June 2023 will be published in the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment's Workforce Information Report later in 2023.

As the numbers are notional, forward estimates of FTEs are not included by agency in budget statements. However, each agency statement provides an estimate for the budget year of FTEs for the agency.

The total employment cost and FTE levels for each year of the forward estimates can be found in Tables 2.8 and 2.9 respectively of the 2023-24 budget statement.

The government does not have a TVSP target for FTEs. While each agency has a savings task over the forward estimates, any FTE reductions associated with this task are notional, based on estimates of how the savings across the forward estimates may be delivered and may or may not require TVSPs to be offered. Chief executives have the flexibility to deliver the savings in the manner that best suits the needs of their agency.
