Question

Regarding the implementation of the Voluntary Targeted Separation Scheme (VTSS) separations for each agency under the Minister's control, I ask for the following information:

(a) a table outlining the number of positions, position title, substantive level, and value of the separation entitlements paid as at 30 June 2018;
(b) an indication of departmental/agency performance as at 30 June 2018, against the original VTSS targeted established; and
(c) how many and which particular positions are targeted for separation over the forward estimates?
Answered on 13 September 2018

The Voluntary Targeted Separation Scheme (VTSS) is a Budget repair tool whilst also assisting workforce renewal by enabling agencies to retain 20% of the savings. The VTSS is open to all general government employees, though priority is being given to agencies impacted by the Machinery of Government changes (which took effect from 1 July 2017). The VTSS, once fully implemented, is expected to save in excess of $150 million annually across Government.
