Treasury: Senior Executive Service (Question No. 560)
Jamie Briggs Mayo, Liberal Party, Chairman of the Scrutiny of Government Waste Committee
asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 25 August 2011:
How many staff were employed by the Minister's department in the Senior Executive Service (i.e., SES) on 1 July (a) 2008, and (b) 2011.
Wayne Swan Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer
The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
As of the 1st of July 2008 there were 77 Senior Executive Service Officers in Treasury.
As of the 1st of July 2011 there were 91 Senior Executive Service Officers in Treasury.
These figures exclude staff on MOPS, Staff on leave without pay for a period of more than 3 months, and also staff seconded to other departments. It does however include paid inoperatives (which are staff on long term leave).
These figures have been extracted out of the Treasury Annual Report.
