(2) A total of 2,556 separations (85%) of the 3,000 target for the VTSS have been achieved to date and with a further 390 separations expected as a result of the transition to the Commonwealth-run National Disability Insurance Scheme. The VTSS is on track to deliver 2,946 separations or 98% of the original target by 30 June 2022.
The VTSS program is projected to achieve a net saving of $527 million over the period 2017-18 to 2022-23 to net debt.
(3) 2,556.

The provision of a brief job description for each position is beyond the scope of the information held by the Department of Treasury or the Public Sector Commission systems and would need to be directed to each agency through their relevant Ministers.
