APS Statistical BulletinState of the Service Series 2009-10

Welcome to the APS Statistical BulletinThe Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin 2009–10 presents a summary of employment under the Public Service Act 1999 at 30 June 2010 and during the 2009–10 financial year, as well as summary data for the past 15 years. Several new tables have been added to the Bulletin this year, and others have been revised.

The data shows how the composition of the Australian Public Service (APS) has changed over time, and provides an opportunity for assessing the impact of changing capability requirements and human resource (HR) policies on the structure of the APS. The data in this publication is a resource for agencies to assist them in benchmarking their workforce against other agencies and APS averages. A more comprehensive statistical analysis of the APS is provided in the State of the Service Report 2009–10.

The main data source on APS employees is the APS Employment Database (APSED), which contains data extracted from agencies’ HR systems. The Australian Public Service Commission continues to work with agencies to improve the quality and timeliness of the data they provide to APSED. To ensure that sound conclusions can be drawn from the data, it is important that agencies assign a high priority to providing accurate and timely data to the Commission.

IntroductionThe Australian Public Service Statistical Bulletin 2009–10 is a statistical overview of APS staffing produced on a financial year basis, as part of the State of the Service series. It provides details of staff employed under the authority of the Public Service Act 1999 (the PS Act). Staff employed in Commonwealth-owned companies, statutory authorities, the Australian Defence Force and government business enterprises who are not employed under the PS Actare not included. State and local government staff are also not included.

The ‘Main features’ section provides an overview of the report, together with a number of tables and graphs. Later sections cover ongoing and non-ongoing staff in more detail.

Source of data

From July 1999, APSED replaced the Continuous Record of Personnel (CRP) as the source for APS employment statistics. Data held on the CRP was migrated to APSED to form the historical series for ongoing employees.

APSED records information for both ongoing and non-ongoing employees (the CRP held data only for ongoing employees), including staff on leave without pay and other unpaid inoperative staff. Agencies provide data from their HR systems to the Commission on staff movements such as engagements, promotions and separations, as well as a ‘snapshot’ for all staff at 31 January and 30 June each year. This information is used to verify and, where necessary, update APSED data. Although the Commission has tried to ensure data integrity and has undertaken an extensive audit of data provided by agencies, it is not responsible for inaccuracies in the data supplied.

When referring to the data in this publication, or making comparisons with previous Bulletins, the reader should be aware that there have been changes over time to the conceptual definitions which support the data. Differences in data definitions due to the migration of CRP to APSED are explained briefly below and in detail in the Explanatory Notes at Appendix 1.

About the data

A headcount approach underpins the Bulletin—that is, people working part-time are aggregated with people working full-time without weighting.

Time series data reflects the APS as it was at a particular point in time. When comparing trends over time, the data may vary due to coverage changes within the PS Act. For example, in 1999 the Parliamentary agencies ceased to be covered by the PS Act and in 2009–10 Tourism Australia moved into coverage of the PS Act. Administrative changes affecting APS numbers are detailed in Appendixes 4 and 5.

Due to differences in data sources and data definitions, there may be variations between data in this publication and that published by individual agencies.

Where proportions are presented, results have been rounded to the first decimal place. Due to this rounding, the percentage results for some tables may not add up exactly to the total shown.

Data for the Senior Executive Service (SES) includes employees grouped with the equivalent SES bands under the Public Service Classification Rules 2000.

Data includes inoperative staff, unless indicated.

This year, for the first time, this Bulletin includes data on both base or substantive classification, as well as temporary assignment at a classification that is different to an employee’s base classification. Tables are clearly marked to show which classification is used. Non-ongoing employees can also be on temporary assignment.

As most employees on temporary assignment are performing duties at a higher classification, including it in analysis of classification skews the profile slightly away from lower classifications and towards higher classifications: at June 2010, the number of APS 1–2 employees declined from 5,037 (3.3% of all ongoing employees) to 4,344 (2.9%) and the size of the SES increased from 2,160 (1.7% of all ongoing employees) to 3,049 (2.0% of all ongoing employees). This is the equivalent figure to that reported in previous years’ Bulletins.

Each year, extensive audits and error checking of APSED are undertaken, and errors in the historical data are corrected. The following points, therefore, should be taken into consideration when making comparisons between data in this publication and previous publications.

1. Previously published data for both ongoing and non-ongoing staff may have been revised and therefore may not necessarily be comparable with that in previous years’ publications.

2. Following the introduction of the broadbanding of classifications in 1999, data in this publication reports the maximum classification level, unless agencies provide data at specific levels. As a result, some employees are reported at the top of their broadband, even though they may be at a lower classification in the broadband. Significant improvements in the quality of data provided by agencies in

recent years have resulted in fewer agencies reporting broadbanded classifications. For example, at June 2003 over 31,000 employees had a different maximum and minimum classification. By June 2010 this figure had dropped to 1,705. See Appendix 2 ‘Effects on data of broadbanding classifications’.

3. As part of the process for loading data from the CRP onto APSED, an audit was undertaken of employees who were current at June 1999. A number of records were found where non-ongoing employees had been recorded as ongoing on the CRP. This led to a recalculation of ongoing employee numbers in the years preceding 1999. Only those employees who were employed at June 1999 were able to be included in this audit. Those who had been employed in earlier years but who had since left were not included. It can be assumed that there was an overestimate, which cannot be quantified, of ongoing employees in those years.

4. Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) data published by the Commission may differ from that published by some agencies. In 2001, an independent review was undertaken of the Commission’s then current practice of retrospectively changing a person’s EEO status if it changed during their employment. The review supported the continuation of the practice for reporting for non-English speaking background (NESB) and Indigenous status as these characteristics are likely to be constant throughout an employee’s career. Disability, however, may change with time and APSED has been modified to record the status change for an individual and the date at which that change was loaded into APSED.

5. The provision of some EEO data by APS employees to their agency is voluntary. Therefore, as with any large voluntary data collection, APSED tends to under-represent the number of Indigenous Australians, people with disability and NESB employees.

6. This report covers the APS at 30 June 2010. Since that date, there have been adjustments to the Administrative Arrangements Order; these are not reflected here because they occurred after 30 June 2010. They will be reported in the 2011 publication.

The APSED Internet Interface (APSEDII)

APSEDII provides user friendly, internet based access to APSED data. The interface facilitates workforce planning and benchmarking by allowing users to produce tables similar to those published in this Bulletin. Users can run queries to provide Bulletin-style tables with data about an organisation and, for comparative purposes, about other agencies in that size grouping.

The interface produces tables and also allows users to download the queried results and manipulate the data further in other applications such as Excel. For example, a small agency might be interested to see how its classification distribution by sex compares to other small agencies or it might be interested in comparing its classification by age profile to other agencies. The interface allows the user to make the appropriate selections on the web page then run the query and save the results in an import format for later manipulation.

This year, time series data has been included as an option in APSEDII for the first time. Most of the variables from the main interface are available for cross tabulation, including agency size. Each year, the time series interface will allow querying of 10 years of APSED data up to and including data released in the most recent Statistical Bulletin. Due to machinery-of-government changes, time series data by agency is not available through APSEDII.

Agencies can also use a secure link to drill down into data for their own agency at a level of detail not available in Commission publications. This feature assists agencies in accessing useful data for workforce planning. For further information about APSEDII, please email [email protected].

Main featuresAPS at a glance—All staff

At 30 June 2010 there were 164,596 staff in the APS. This total comprised:

150,871 ongoing staff (up by 0.4% from 150,267 in June 2009) 13,725 non-ongoing staff (up by 18.6% from 11,570 in June 2009)

During 2009–10:

10,221 ongoing employees were engaged (down by 22.0% from 13,106 in 2008–09) 9,646 ongoing employees separated from the APS (down by 9.0% from 10,605 in 2008–09) 21 employees moved into coverage of the PS Act, all were ongoing staff

Figure 1 shows the total number of ongoing and non-ongoing APS employees from 1996 to 2010. Ongoing employees are shown on the left axis and non-ongoing employees on the right axis. The number of ongoing employees fell between 1996 and 1999, before rising steadily since then. The number of non-ongoing employees has varied over time.Source: Table 1

Size of the Australian Public Service

At June 2010 there were 164,596 staff in the Australian Public Service employed under the PS Act. This represented an increase of 1.7% from the June 2009 number of 161,837. Figure 1 shows ongoing and non-ongoing employee numbers from June 1996 to June 2010.

The number of ongoing employees went from 150,267 at June 2009 to 150,871 at June 2010, an increase of 604 or 0.4%. The largest increases in ongoing employee numbers were in Climate Change (424 or 119.1%, mostly due to machinery-of-government changes) and Defence (362 or 1.8%). The largest reductions in ongoing employee numbers were in the ATO (down by 851 or 3.9%), Centrelink (319 or 1.2%) and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (247 or 5.0%).

During 2009–10, non-ongoing employment grew by 18.6%, from 11,570 at June 2009 to 13,725 at June 2010. Non-ongoing employees accounted for 8.3% of all employees at June 2010. The agencies with the largest increase in non-ongoing employment were the ATO (up by 1,448 or 102.6%), the Australian Bureau of Statistics (371 or 209.6%) and Climate Change (181 or 312.1%). The number of non-ongoing employees fell in Centrelink (322 or 18.6%), Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (114 or 15.1%) and Human Services (100 or 19.0%).

Size of agencies

The 10 agencies listed in Table A accounted for over two-thirds of total APS staff (ongoing and non-ongoing) at June 2010. The ranking of the three largest agencies has remained unchanged for the last 10 years, although both the ATO and Defence grew slightly while Centrelink reduced in size this year. Together, these three agencies account for 44.3% of the total APS staff.

Ongoing employees

Composition

At June 2010, ongoing employees accounted for 91.7% of the APS, a decrease in their representation from the previous year.

The number of ongoing employees working part-time rose by 6.2% during the year, up from 19,413 (12.9% of all ongoing employees) at June 2009 to 20,612 (13.7%) at June 2010. Women are much more likely to work part-time with 20.9% working part-time at June 2010 compared with 4.0% of men. Centrelink, ATO, Human Services and Medicare accounted for more than half of ongoing part-time employees at June 2010.

Classification

The following analysis refers to base classification, although temporary assignment is included for comparison in some instances.

The number of employees at the APS 1–2 classification continued to fall from 6,095 at June 2009 to 5,037 at June 2010. This group accounted for 20.0% of ongoing staff at June 1996 and now represents just 3.3% of ongoing staff. The APS 3–4 classification group has remained consistent at just over a third of all ongoing employees while the APS 5–6 classification has grown steadily from 27.8% of ongoing staff at June 1996 to 34.0% at June 2010.

Representation of Executive Level (EL) employees has risen from 15.9% to 25.5% over the same period. The Senior Executive Service (SES) has fluctuated between 1.4% and 1.7% and is currently 1.7%.

The number of ongoing trainees fell, from 267 at June 2009 to 177 at June 2010 (down by 33.7%). Graduate trainees fell slightly from 1,231 at June 2009 to 1,208 at June 2010. It should be noted that the number of graduate trainees does not represent the number of graduates recruited at all levels. During 2009–10, 71.1% of ongoing employees engaged had graduate qualifications.1

When looking at substantive or base classification the APS 4 group is the largest size category of employment in the APS with 20.7% of ongoing employees, followed by APS 6 (20.4%) and EL 1 (17.2%). However, using temporary assignment, APS 6 is the largest category of employment with 20.9% of ongoing employees, followed by APS 4 (18.8%), and EL 1 (18.4%).

At June 2010 there were 16,064 ongoing employees (10.6%) on temporary assignment to a different classification level. There were also five ongoing employees on temporary assignment as agency heads at June 2010. Agencies with the highest proportion of employees on temporary

assignment were National Native Title Tribunal (30.5%), Australian Human Rights Commission (29.5%) and the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman (27.3%). Most employees on temporary assignment are at a higher classification. Almost three quarters of employees on temporary assignment to a lower level are women (73.8%).

Figure 2 shows the change in the proportion of employees in selected classifications over the last 15 years.

Figure 2: Ongoing employees by base classification group, June 1996 to June 2010

Figure 2 shows the proportion of ongoing employees by base classification from 1996 to 2010. Data is grouped into APS 1–2, APS 3–4, APS 5–6, EL and SES classifications. The proportion of ongoing employees at APS 1–2 classifications has fallen over time, while all other classification groups have increased.Source: Table 9

Senior Executive Service

At June 2010, there were 2,610 ongoing SES employees in the APS, up from 2,569 last year. The proportional increase in the size of the SES during 2009–10 (1.6%) was somewhat larger than the growth in the APS overall (0.4%).

The composition of the SES has generally remained stable over the last 15 years. At June 2010, SES Band 1 employees comprised just under three quarters of the SES at 74.1%, with SES Band 2 at 21.1% and SES Band 3 at 4.8%.

The major change in the SES over the last 15 years has been the steady increase in the representation of women, from 19.3% at June 1996 to 37.1% at June 2010. Women’s representation increased at all SES Band levels during 2009–10.

Figure 3: Ongoing employees: representation of women in the SES (excluding temporary assignment), June 1996 to June 2010

Figure 3 shows that women’s representation in the SES has increased between 1996 and 2000. The increase has been evident at all SES bands.Source: Table 9

Age

The median age of ongoing APS employees at June 2010 was 42 years.

The number of ongoing employees in the under 25 age group fell from 6,930 to 6,087 during 2009–10. Over the 15 years to June 2010, this group’s representation has fallen from 6.3% to 4.0% of all ongoing employees.

The strongest growth in recent years has been in the representation of older age groups. Fifteen years ago, employees aged over 55 represented 5.6% of all employees. By June 2010, this had more than doubled to 13.6%.

Male and female employment

Over the past 15 years, women’s representation in the APS has increased from 47.7% to 57.4% of ongoing employees. In general, women are still employed at lower classification levels than men, but the gap is closing. Changes in women’s representation by classification over the past 15 years are shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Ongoing employees: women’s representation in selected classification groups (excluding temporary assignment), June 1996 to June 2010

Figure 4 shows that women’s representation at all classification groups has increased between 1996 and 2010.Source: Table 9

Location

Over one-third of ongoing APS employees are located in the ACT. The proportion of ongoing staff in the ACT has increased from 37.4% at June 2009 to 38.8% at June 2010, continuing the steady rise that has been occurring for several years.

Engagements

Over the 2009–10 financial year, there were 10,221 engagements of ongoing employees, down by 2,885 or 22.0% on the previous year. The agencies with the largest number of engagements were Centrelink (1,629), Defence (1,322), Human Services (560), DEEWR (478), Health and Ageing (419) and ATO (414).

Women comprised 56.8% of ongoing engagements during 2009–10. More than forty percent of engagements for women (42.8%) were at the APS 3–4 level; for men the proportion was 28.2%. More than one in five men were engaged at EL levels (22.4%), while for women it was one in ten (10.9%).

Fifteen years ago, 29.7% of all ongoing engagements were at the APS 1–2 level; by 2009–10 this had dropped to 6.1%. In contrast, all other classification groups have increased over the same period. The APS 3–4 group has increased from 25.5% to 36.5%, APS 5–6 from 18.5% to 28.6% and EL doubled from 7.4% to 15.9% of all ongoing engagements. Figure 5 shows the proportion of engagements by classification over the last 15 years.

Figure 5: Ongoing engagements: proportion in selected classifications, 1995–96 to 2009–10

Figure 5 shows the proportion of engagements in selected classifications from 1995–96 to 2009–10. The APS 3–4 classification group accounted for between one-quarter and one-half of all engagements over the period. Engagements at APS 1–2 classifications fell markedly.Source: Table 29

Separations

During 2009–10 there were 9,646 separations, a decrease of 9.0% on the previous year (10,605). Resignations decreased from 6,569 to 5,677 (a drop of 13.6%), while retrenchments and age retirements fell by 3.6% and 2.7% respectively. The inverse relationship between resignations and retrenchments continued. These trends can be seen in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Ongoing employees: selected separations as a proportion of total separations, 1995–96 to 2009–10

Figure 6 shows resignations, age retirements and retrenchments as a proportion of all separations, from 1995–96 to 2009–10. Age retirements, while relatively low, increased steadily over the period. There is a continuing inverse relationship between resignations and retrenchments. Source: Table 43

The separation rate for ongoing employees was 6.4% during 2009–10. This value cannot be compared with a similar measure at agency level as the former does not take into account movements of employees between agencies. The agency retention rate in Table 14 should be used at agency level when assessing agency ‘turnover’.

Educational Qualifications2

Of those ongoing employees who have supplied information about their educational qualifications, 55.5% have a bachelor degree or higher. Men are more likely than women to have graduate qualifications—59.3% compared with 52.3%. Indigenous employees (28.3%) are much less likely to have graduate qualifications and NESB1 employees (77.4%) are much more likely to have such qualifications than the APS average. Those with a disability are somewhat less likely to have graduate qualifications (45.4%) compared with the APS overall.

Figure 7: Ongoing employees: EEO group by highest educational qualification, June 2010

Figure 7 shows the educational qualifications of Indigenous Australians, people with disability, and those from a non-English speaking background (NESB), and compares these groups with the APS average. NESB employees are much more likely to have graduate qualifications (bachelor degree or higher) and the other diversity groups are less likely to have graduate qualifications.Source: Table 57

Footnotes

1 The method used to calculate the proportion of employees with graduate or tertiary qualifications includes those with qualifications at bachelor degree and above. It excludes from the denominator those for whom no data was provided by agencies, and those who chose not to provide details of their highest educational qualification.

All staffAs set out in the Introduction, June 2010 data for both ongoing and non-ongoing staff contained in this section is sourced from APSED. Most data for earlier years in Table 1 is also sourced from APSED and is subject to revision as historical data is updated. The data source for non-ongoing staff prior to 2000 was the Staffing Monitor System.

Non-ongoing staffThe source of data for Section 2 is APSED. For a definition of 'non-ongoing' staff see Appendix 1 ‘Explanatory Notes’.

Women make up 61.4% of non-ongoing employees. Non-ongoing employees are likely to be younger and at lower levels; almost one quarter of non-ongoing employees are aged under 25 (24.2%), compared with 4.0% of ongoing employees, and 71.0% are at APS 1–4, compared with 37.9% of ongoing staff.

Figure 9: Non-ongoing staff: base classification by sex, June 2010

Figure 9 shows non-ongoing employees by sex at June 2010. Women are much more likely to be engaged at lower classification levels than are men.Source: Table 6

MovementsDuring the year to June 2010, there were 10,221 engagements and 9,646 separations of ongoing employees in the APS. An engagement refers to an employee joining the APS, not moving from one agency to another. A separation refers to an employee leaving the APS, not moving from one agency to another.

Engagements fell by 22.0%, from 13,106 during 2008–09 to 10,221 during 2009–10. This was the fourth consecutive year that engagement numbers had fallen. The number of separations fell by 9.0%. Engagements continue to outnumber separations, a trend evident since 1999–00.

Figure 11: Ongoing staff: engagements and separations, 1995–96 to 2009–10

Figure 11 shows the number of ongoing engagements and separations, from 1995–96 to 2009–10. It shows that engagements have outnumbered separations each year since 1999–00. Since then, there has been a steady increase in the number of separations, while engagements have fluctuated widely.Source: Table 28 and Table 43

Equal employment opportunityThe Commissioner’s Directions specify that the APS Value on equity in employment requires, in particular, measures aimed at eliminating any employment-related disadvantage on the basis of:

being an Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander sex race or ethnicity physical or mental disability.

With the exception of sex, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) data is supplied to agencies by individuals on a voluntary basis, and forwarded by agencies to be entered onto APSED. Overall, non-response varies widely between agencies.

The current focus on improving employment outcomes for people with disability and for Indigenous Australians in the APS provides an even greater emphasis for ensuring that the quality of data is robust. The Commission continues to work with agencies to encourage employees to provide this data to their agency’s HR system. There has been some improvement in the quality of data provided by agencies this year, however the overall quality continues to be poor and there are a number of agencies still providing little or no data on the diversity status of their employees.

To help agencies collect diversity data from employees, amendments are planned to the Commissioner’s Directions to ensure agencies are required to ask all employees for this information, while ensuring that employees can still choose not to provide it, if that is their preference. This approach should ensure improved data quality, and more meaningful analysis of data to support improved employment outcomes for these groups, while still ensuring individuals’ privacy.

See Appendix 1 for an explanation of NESB.

Figure 12 shows the change in the representation of the four EEO groups from their proportion at June 1996. Each of these proportions is weighted by the ratio of the June 1996 total ongoing APS number to the number of employees in the respective EEO group at June 1996. Weighting eliminates the effects that the changes in the overall size of the APS have on representation. The index is given a value of 100 at June 1996, and rises and falls proportionally with the particular group’s change in the weighted number over time. For example, at June 1996

the number of Indigenous Australians was 3,390 out of an ongoing APS population of 128,734. By 2010 the number of Indigenous Australians had fallen to 3,307 and the ongoing APS number had risen to 150,871. Therefore the weighted Indigenous number for 2010 is 2,821, which is 83.2% of the original index.

Figure 12 shows changes in the number of ongoing employees in each of the diversity groups, weighted and indexed from 1996 to 2010. It shows a steady decrease in representation of Indigenous Australians and people with disability over time.Source: Table 54

Explanatory notesAgencies

The organisations separately identified in this publication are based on the publication APS Agencies, which is available on the Commission’s web site. Some very small agencies are not separately identified. A list of those organisations not separately identified in the tables is shown at Appendix 6.

Calculation of yearly APS change

From time to time, the number of employees covered by the PS Act is affected by changes in administrative arrangements when agencies move into or out of coverage of the PS Act. It is necessary to adjust for changes in coverage when comparing the data with previous years’ data and calculating changes for the APS (refer to Appendix 4).

Classification

The classifications used in this Bulletin are those classifications listed in the Public Service Classification Rules 2000 (the Classification Rules).

As some agencies use broadbanded classifications, APSED was designed with the capacity to store both the minimum and maximum classification levels for employees. Any data after or including 30 June 1999 refers to the maximum classification level and is, therefore, not directly comparable with data for earlier years. Appendix 2 provides details about the range of broadbanded classification levels and the impact of broadbanding on reporting of classification at June 2010.

Data in this Bulletin generally refers to the substantive classification, except those tables where paid classification (that is, temporary assignment) is used. See ‘Introduction’ for more information on temporary assignment.

Senior Executive Service (SES) includes SES Bands 1, 2 and 3 and SES Specialist Bands 1, 2 and 3. It also includes employees grouped with the equivalent SES bands under the Classification Rules.

EL classifications include Executive Levels 1 and 2 (formerly Senior Officer Grades C, B and A). It also includes employees grouped with the equivalent Executive Levels under the Classification Rules such as Medical Officers and Senior Customs Officers.

APS classifications include staff at the APS 1 to 6 levels (formerly Administrative Service Officers, Research Officers and some other equivalents who were previously in the Information Technology and Professional classification streams).

Trainee includes cadets, trainees and apprentices (but not Graduate APS, even though this is a training classification under the Classification Rules).

Graduate APS refers to those employees in a specific graduate program only.

Other is included in historical data up to 1999–00, and includes staff in classifications not mentioned in the above categories. Where possible, all classifications that were listed separately in previous publications have been reclassified to their equivalent level in APSED.

Engagement

An engagement refers to the engagement or re-engagement of staff under s. 22 of the PS Act. Employees of agencies moving into coverage of the PS Act are counted as engagements.

Full-time/Part-time

The full-time and part-time employment status categories used in this publication refer to the number of hours worked. Full-time staff are defined as those who ordinarily work 35 hours or more per week. Staff working fewer than 35 hours per week are defined as working part-time. This definition is based on that used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in their Australian Labour Market Statistics publication (catalogue no. 6105.0).

Highest Educational Qualification

As an employee may have more than one qualification, data reported in this Bulletin is the highest qualification that the employee has reported to their agency. The full list of qualification categories is shown in the APSED Manual 2008, available on the Commission’s website

Length of service

Length of service is based on an employee’s combined periods of service. Where possible, an individual’s separate periods of services have been linked by matching date of birth, gender, first name (first four letters) and surname. Data held by ComSuper has also been used to match those employees whose names have changed. The length of these periods of service is combined. For example, an individual who had five years of service, left the APS for two years and then returned for seven years would have a total length of service of 12 years. Previously, this individual would have been recorded as having seven years of service if they had changed Australian Government Staff Number (AGSN). Using this method it is possible to determine an individual’s prior service in the APS (as shown in Table 32).

Non-ongoing service is included in this calculation only where the service is on APSED; the collection of data for non-ongoing employees on APSED commenced in July 1999. Also, service in an agency is only included in the period that the agency was covered under the PS Act or the Public Service Act 1922 (the PS Act 1922). When an agency moves out of coverage of either of these Acts, accumulation of service ceases until the individual rejoins the APS. See Appendix 4 for PS Act coverage changes.

NESB

In the absence of alternative measures, the concept ‘NESB’, representing people from a non-English speaking background, is used with APSED. This captures information about first language spoken, place of birth and parents’ language. NESB 1 refers to people born overseas who arrived in Australia after the age of five and whose first language was not English. NESB 2 refers to children of migrants including: those who were born overseas and arrived in Australia when they were aged five or younger but did not speak English as a first language; those who were Australian born but did not speak English as a first language and had at least one NESB 1 parent; and those people who were Australian born and had neither parent speaking English as a first language.

Number of agencies worked in

Number of agencies worked in is based on an employee’s combined periods of service. Non-ongoing experience is not included.

Ongoing/Non-ongoing

‘Ongoing employment’ refers to the employment of an APS employee as an ongoing employee as mentioned in s. 22(2)(a) of the PS Act. The employee is referred to as an ongoing employee. ‘Non-ongoing employment’ is a generic term which refers to the engagement of APS

employees for either a specified term or for the duration of a specified task or for duties that are irregular or intermittent as mentioned in ss. 22(2)(b) and (c) of the PS Act. A person engaged on a non-ongoing basis is referred to as a non-ongoing employee.

Operative/Inoperative status

Employees who are inoperative are those on mandatory or discretionary leave without pay, or compensation leave. Maternity leave is not included. For further details see the APSED Manual 2008, available on the Commission’s website

A separation occurs when an employee ceases to be employed under the PS Act. It does not refer to employees moving from one APS agency to another. Data for separations under the PS Act 1922 have, where possible, been coded to categories recognised under the PS Act. The terms used in this Bulletin are:

age retirement (s. 30 of the PS Act). For the purposes of this Bulletin, age retirement includes resignations at age 55 and above retrenchment (s. 29(3)(a)) invalidity retirement (s. 29(3)(d)) other terminations of employment (ss. 29(3)(b), (c), (e), (f), (g) and (h)) compulsory move to non-APS agency by determination made by the Public Service Commissioner under s. 72(1)(b) mobility provisions—separations under Part IV of the PS Act 1922 and the only old separations not able to be mapped directly to the PS

Act, resulting from the concept of ‘mobility’ being phased out as eligibility for APS employment was broadened resignation death.

Separation rate

Is calculated as the number of ongoing separations from the APS over a financial year, divided by the average number of ongoing employees over that period.

State

State refers to the physical location of staff. Prior to the 1999–00 Statistical Bulletin, state referred to the location of the pay area from which staff were paid. Some agencies are unable to provide postcodes for a small number of employees. In the tables that include state data, these employees are shown as N/A.

Transfers and promotions

The terminology of ‘transfers’ and ‘promotions’ has been used in this publication because they are commonly understood. The terminology generally used in the context of the PS Act is ‘movement at level’ for transfer between agencies and ‘assignment of duties’ for transfer within an agency. Promotion is defined in the Public Service Commissioner’s Directions as ‘the assignment to an ongoing employee (other than a trainee) of duties at a higher classification than the employee’s current classification (whether or not the employee moves to another agency)’. ‘Promotions’ includes advancements within a broadband.

Effects on data of broadbanding classificationsOf those agencies that have broadbanded classification levels, most provide data to APSED at specific levels while others provide data which is broadbanded. Elsewhere in this publication where classification level is given, the maximum level is used where only broadbanded data is available.

The following table provides an indication of the range of minimum classifications for each maximum. It shows the number of ongoing APS employees reported by agencies to have particular minimum and maximum levels as at June 2010. For example, there were 150 ongoing employees at a classification at which the minimum was APS 3 and the maximum APS 4 (that is, the APS 3–4 band). There were 63 ongoing employees in the APS 1–4 band. Both of these groups would be reported elsewhere in the Bulletin as APS 4.

Improvements in the quality of data provided by agencies in recent years have resulted in agencies reporting fewer broadbanded classifications. The number of ongoing employees reported in broadbanded classifications was 1,705 at June 2010, down from 2,061 at June 2009.

As noted in Appendix 1, classification data in this publication includes employees grouped with the equivalent SES bands under the Classification Rules. Although broadbanding does not apply to the SES proper, these other classifications can be broadbanded. No Graduates or Trainees are broadbanded.
