The information as at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2017 relates to the Department of Education prior to the Machinery of Government changes.
The realignment involved the transfer of a number of positions from Payroll to a newly formed Customer Services Centre. Therefore, the data is not directly comparable across these years.

Head Count 1
Average Financial Year FTE 2

2. The average financial year FTE is the average paid FTE for the financial year. As the figure is an average, it may be higher than the FTE and headcount figure as at 30 June.
