The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I am advised:

The Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment has provided the headcount of public sector employees as at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 in line with the respective Workforce Information Reports available on their website. Some public sector agencies (approximately 20 per cent) only report data annually. Providing this data as at 1 January 2023 and 1 January 2024 is possible, however it would not accurately reflect a whole-of-government response.

There were 113,050 employees working in the South Australian public sector as at 30 June 2022, and 114,735 employees as at 30 June 2023.
