The full time equivalents (FTE) figures stated below are inclusive of a corporate support component consistent with reporting on annual budget papers.
(a) Numbers based on actual FTE figures as at 30 June for each financial year:
(i) 87; (ii) 98; (iii) 100; (iv) 38; and (v) 19
(b) Budgeted FTE: 17; current FTE: 20.6.
The number of FTE allocated to the service has been impacted by several factors over the course of the period, including the transfer of 15 FTE related to science aspects of the service to the Department of the Premier and Cabinet in 2013 to establish the Office of Science.
