Why this topic is important
Our department would not be able to achieve its vision without skilled and dedicated people. All of our staff contribute towards ensuring the safety of children and young people in Queensland.
Trends
Since June 2006, our department has grown in size from 2132.6 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees to 2383.9 FTE in 2007, representing over 11.7 per cent growth.
Most of this growth has occurred within our department's child safety service centres and its statewide service areas across seven zones.
The overall staffing levels within our department's zones have increased by 8.0 per cent from 1787.8 FTE in 2006 to 1932.2 FTE in 2007. Staffing levels within central office divisions have remained stable.
Our 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 our department given the over-representation of Indigenous children in the child protection system.
