DEPARTMENT
FOR CHILD PROTECTION — STAFFING LEVELS
196. Hon SUE ELLERY to the Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to the announcement of a further cap on staffing
levels, made by the Treasurer on 17 April 2012.
(1) Can the
minister confirm that the Department for Child Protection is required to stay
within the full-time equivalent cap as set out in the 2011–12 budget?
(2) Is the
department currently operating within the FTE levels set in the 2011–12
budget; and, if not, what is the variation and which services is the variation
within?
