Shared Services, a division of CMTEDD, administers all but one per cent of staff payroll across the ACTPS directorates and provides the data for the Workforce Profile. The Workforce Profile provides data for the directorates and public sector bodies that are administered through Shared Services.
For the purposes of workforce reporting, the reporting structure has been amended from the 2017-18 report to provide a more accurate representation of the ACTPS. These changes are:
Workforce profile information for the Suburban Land Agency and City Renewal Authority were previously included within the data of their portfolio directorate. As these agencies are ACT Public Sector Bodies, their workforce data is included in the Workforce Profile Information (Appendix 1).
For the purpose of reporting:
ACTION is included in the reporting of TCCS; and
while a public sector body, the Director of Public Prosecutions is included in the Workforce Profile data of JACS;
Workforce indicators included in the Workforce Profile information are based on paid staff and exclude employees on leave without pay, board members and contractors.
The data reported excludes contractors and staff of Territory Owned Corporations.
These are point in time indicators and do not adjust for seasonal fluctuation, such as demand for casual teachers and back pay. Directorates and employee cohorts with small numbers are susceptible to fluctuation.
Employees on secondment from other organisations are not counted in the workforce profile data if they are paid by their parent organisation and not by the ACT Government.
Additional data can be found in Appendix 1, including a detailed breakdown of each directorate’s FTE and further information on ACTPS. Further data and tables can be found on the ACTPS website.
Data has been rounded to one decimal place and as such, percentages may not add up to exactly 100 per cent on certain tables/graphs.
The 1994 data in Chapter 1 was sourced from the Australian Public Service Employment Database (APSED). APSED is a database that stores the employment data of all current and former APS employees who are employed under the Public Service Act 1999. APSED is maintained by the Australian Public Service Commission and the data is supplied to APSED from the HR systems of APS agencies. The data provided was based on ACT government employees as at 1 July 1994. This was the day they left coverage of the APS. The data provided was for ongoing employees only.

Questions that have multiple response options will result in percentages that could add up to more than 100 per cent. In the case of open-ended questions, respondents often provide more than one reason for their response and in these cases, percentages will add up to more than 100 per cent.
