Public Sector Disability Employment Data

282 The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO ().1 June 2023). Can the Minister for Human Services advise –

1. What was the percentage of people with a disability working within the South Australian Public Sector as at 1 January 2022?

2. What was the percentage of people with a disability working within the South Australian Public Sector as at 1 January 2023?

3. In a table format, top ten South Australian government agencies with the largest percentage of people with a disability in their workforce?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector has advised:

The Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment has provided disability employment data as at 30 June 2022 in line with the latest published Workforce Information Report. Some public sector agencies (approximately 20 per cent) only report data annually. Providing this data as at 1 January 2023 is possible, however it would not accurately reflect a whole-of-government response.

As at 30 June 2022, 1.37 per cent of public sector employees identified as having as a declared disability. The number of employees living with disability is likely to be under-reported given the data's reliance on employees self-identifying their status.

The top 10 public sector agencies (over 100 FTE) with the largest percentage of people with a disability as at 30 June 2022 is as follows:

Lifetime Support Authority of South Australia 5.9%
SA Housing Authority 5.3%
Country Arts SA 4.6%
Department of Human Services 4.1%
Public Trustee 3.2%
Attorney-General's Department 3.2%
State Library of South Australia 3.1%
Auditor-General's Department 3.0%
South Australian Country Fire Service 2.9%
Department of Treasury and Finance 2.8%
