In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().13 May 2025).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Deputy Premier, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): I am advised that Premier's Direction—Induction requires all new SAES executives to participate in a SAES induction program within the first 12 months of a SAES contract.

The executive induction program is offered twice a year by the South Australian Leadership Academy within the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment. The South Australian Leadership Academy also delivers the Executive Excellence Program which is designed for executives to advance their capability and extend their leadership impact and influence.

Individual government agencies also deliver tailored training for their executive teams and encourage executives to participate in other professional development programs to support their development.

Additionally, leaders in the public sector who fall within the SA Executive Service classification (SAES) must adhere to their employment contract, which provides that the executive will undertake their duties in accordance with the South Australian Executive Charter (the charter), the South Australian Executive Competency Framework (the framework) and various pieces of legislation.

The charter requires leaders to model the highest professional standards and live the public sector values.

The framework requires leaders to demonstrate and integrate values and ethics into organisational practices and model and build a culture of respect.

It provides the mechanism by which the SA Executive Service links attraction, recruitment, development, performance assessment and retention of executives across the public sector to a set of competencies that articulate the specific behaviours required to achieve optimum performance levels.
