(Question No 964)
Ms Lee asked the Minister for Skills, upon notice, on 21 October 2022:
Can the Minister provide, broken down by college/division, the (a) number of casual teachers employed by the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) each year, (b) dollar value of the total wage bill (including on-costs) relating to the employment of casual teachers at CIT, (c) number of casual corporate (non-teaching) staff employed by CIT each year, (d) dollar value of the total wage bill (including on-costs) relating to the employment of casual corporate staff at CIT and (e) qualifications and accreditation of these casual staff, for the calendar years 2017-2018 to 2021-2022.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The detailed response to parts (a) to (d) of the question are provided at Attachment A
and B.
In relation to part (e), the qualifications for each staff member are confirmed on engagement by each local area according to the requirements of Registered Training Organisation and are specific to each industry area. This documentation is not stored centrally, and CIT is not able to provide this information without a significant and disproportionate investment in time and resources.
