PUBLIC SECTOR — WORKING FROM HOME POLICIEs
950. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Public Sector Management:
I refer to clampdowns on working
from home practices in other Australian public sector jurisdictions.
(1) Is there any
estimate of the number of public sector employees in Western Australia who
accessed work from home arrangements in 2023-24 budget year?
(2) Is there any
productivity statistics that can shed light on the efficacy of these practices
for the same period?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Western
Australian public sector employees are expected to work from the workplace. No
central information is collected on the number of employees with arrangements
in place to work from home.
