As the efficiency dividend is a reduction in appropriation, agencies simply have to work within their allocated budget for the 2012-13 financial year, enabling them to find savings in a range of different areas throughout the financial year.
Together with the Director General and Executive Directors within my portfolio areas I actively monitor expenditure throughout the year to ensure that savings targets are met whilst frontline service outcomes remain unaffected, and will continue to do so.
My agencies will do this through measures such as not filling non-frontline positions when vacated through attrition, administrative expenditure efficiencies and reducing spending in areas such as corporate and executive support.
A full breakdown of the efficiency measures achieved will be outlined in the 2013-14 State Budget.
