PUBLIC SECTOR COMMISSION — AGENCY
CAPABILITY REVIEW
507. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing Minister
for Public Sector Management:
I refer to the minister's statement of 2 August about
the agency capability review program.
(1) Which
eight agencies have been selected for review and approximately when are each of
these reviews scheduled?
(2) For what
reasons have each of these agencies been selected for review and what are the
terms of reference for the reviews?
(3) Have any of the agencies previously been the
subject of similar capability reviews by either the Department of
Treasury and/or the Public Sector Commission since machinery of government
changes in July 2017?
(4) Who will
appoint the independent reviewers of these agencies, and will these positions
be remunerated and at what cost?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The Public Sector Commission advises
—
(1) The agencies
to be reviewed are not yet finalised. The timing of each review will be
finalised in due course.
(2) The Public
Sector Commissioner will select agencies for review, taking into account the
need to trial the application of review processes in agencies of varying
demographics and contexts. The agencies will be reviewed against the 21
capabilities identified in the agency capability framework in keeping with the processes outlined in the material that is
publicly available on the WA government website. If the honourable member
wants that information, I will provide him with a hard copy.
(3) Neither the Department of Treasury nor the Public
Sector Commission have previously undertaken agency capability reviews.
(4) The Public
Sector Commission will procure the services of independent reviewers, which
will include remuneration considerations.
