Senator Johnston
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 29 September 2010:
With reference to the White Paper and the Strategic Reform Program ‘Indicative Workforce Implications - Civilian Workforce’: For the period 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010, what reduction has there been in the number of full-time equivalent Australian Public Service staff or contractors employed in implementing:
(a) efficiency improvements;
(b) civilianisation;
(c) support productivity improvements; and
(d) contractor conversion (reduction to contractors)?
Senator Chris Evans (Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations)
—The Minister for Defence has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:
With reference to the White Paper and the Strategic Reform Program ‘Indicative Workforce Implications - Civilian Workforce’, for the period 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010:
(a) with regards to implementing the efficiency improvements component of the Strategic Reform Program, there was 345 reductions in the number of full-time equivalent personnel employed, of which 270 full-time equivalent positions were carried through from a previous reform;
(b) with regards to implementing the civilianisation component of the Strategic Reform Program, there was no reduction in the number of full-time equivalent personnel employed. The civilianisation component of the Strategic Reform Program did not commence until financial year 2010-11. On commencement of this program the effect of civilianisation will see growth to the Australian Public Service to equalise the reductions to Military personnel;
(c) with regards to implementing the support productivity improvements component of the Strategic Reform Program, there was no reduction in the number of full-time equivalent personnel employed. The support productivity improvements component of the Strategic Reform Program is a continuous improvement plan scheduled to commence in financial year 2014-15, following on from the completed implementation of the other Workforce and Shared Services components of the Strategic Reform Program; and
(d) with regards to implementing the contractor conversion component of the Strategic Reform Program, there was 215 conversions undertaken in the period 1 July to 30 June 2010, resulting in 215 contractor positions being reduced and an increase of 215 Australian Public Service full time equivalent.
