PUBLIC SECTOR —
STAFF — PERMANENCY
186. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Public Sector Management:
I refer to the composition of the Western
Australian public sector.
(1) How many public sector staff have been converted
to permanency by year since 2017 under the government's policy
to convert existing contract and casual staff to permanent roles since its
implementation?
(2) What is the
average annual salary by level and dollar amount, including on costs for staff
converted to permanency?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable
member for some notice of the question. The Public Sector Commission advises —
(1) Public sector
agencies have reported the conversion of 15 214 fixed-term and casual staff by
headcount to permanency since 2018.
I seek leave to have the following
three lines of data incorporated into Hansard.
