Remote Work

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (25 June 2025). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Veterans' Affairs): I have been advised that for the Department for Housing and Urban Development:

The nature of the work conducted by the Outback Communities Authority and Office of Local Government involves delivery of services in remote areas, which introduces unique requirements in terms of infrastructure and support services. Costs associated with those requirements are incorporated into the relevant programs and as such, there is no specific ongoing budget dedicated to facilitating remote work as an isolated outcome.
