DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION — EFFICIENCY
DIVIDEND
101. Hon SUE ELLERY to the Minister for Education:
With the reduction in central office staff implemented as a
measure to meet the efficiency dividend cuts to the Department of Education,
what has been the reduction of staff achieved to date?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
Subsequent to a savings measure implemented in July 2010,
central office staff was reduced by 100 full-time equivalents. However, as at
April 2013, fluctuations brought about by the state and commonwealth programs
as well as internal government restructures have resulted in an overall
reduction of 82 FTEs since July 2012.
