Trends

Since June 2007, the department has grown in size from 2,383.9 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees to 2,470.4 FTE in 2008, representing over 3.6 per cent growth.

Most of this growth has occurred within the department's child safety service centres and its statewide service areas across seven zones.

The overall staffing levels within the department's zones have increased by 3.7 per cent from 1,932.2 FTE in 2007 to 2,004.2 FTE in 2008. Staffing levels within central office divisions have remained stable.

The department is exceeding public sector targets for equal employment opportunity (EEO) groups, in particular for Indigenous staff, and will continue to invest in increasing the number of Indigenous staff across all sections of the department given the over-representation of Indigenous children in the child protection system.
