AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) As at February 2011, the establishment of the resources safety division of the Department of Mines and Petroleum was 199. (2) I will table a list detailing the job titles and levels as attachment 1 to the tabled paper. (3) Thirty-one positions are vacant. I will table the list of those positions as attachment 2 to the tabled paper. (4)–(5) Some vacant positions are newly created positions and have not yet been advertised. Some vacant positions have resulted from promotions. I refer the honourable member to the answer to question without notice 287 of 25 May 2010. The answer to part (4) of that question highlighted the intention to fill positions over two years and explained the issues of competition with industry to recruit the necessary specialist skills and that it is generally recognised there is a skills shortage in Australia across some sections of the resources industry. I am pleased to report that the department and industry are working together to actively implement the new safety reforms and recent rounds of recruitment have been very successful in attracting suitably skilled staff.
