Parliamentary Questions


Question On Notice No. 1523 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 August 2018 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Question Directed to the: Leader of the House representing the Premier; Minister for Public Sector Management; Federal-State Relations
Parliament: 40 Session: 1


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 12 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 MoG 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.

(b)-(c)  Agency targets are Cabinet-in-confidence and were provided as a guide to assist agencies and Ministers with implementation of the scheme.  While the reductions will vary between agencies depending on factors like MoG changes, the size and role of individual agencies and other impacts, all agencies are expected to contribute in order to meet the overall reduction target of 3,000 employees.
