QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure, and I ask: (a) how many full time equivalent (FTE) staff work for the Department as part of the Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport's share of the Transport portfolio? Understanding that there may be some crossover, please provide by number with purely Transport - Minister Assisting responsibilities focus as well as the number of others who fall at least partially within the portfolio, by FTE?

(a) There are no staff within DTMI that purely work as part of the Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport’s share of the portfolio. DTMI’s staff provide support to both the Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport and Minister for Transport.
DTMI’s FTE is available in the Department of Transport’s 2024-25 Annual Report.
