The ratio of executive to non-executive staff in the ACTPS has been maintained at a broadly constant level of one executive for between 105 to 119 non-executive staff since 2006. By comparison, the APS ratios of SES to non-SES staff while also broadly constant over the same time period are double the ACTPS ratio at one SES for approximately 62 non-SES staff.
(3) There have been 13 notifications of Administrative Arrangements since 2006 resulting in a significant number of Machinery of Government transfers of officers, employees and unattached officers between agencies. This included executives.
As a result of these movements, it is not possible to provide meaningful figures on the increase and decrease of executives against a specific agency since 2006.
(4) Refer to 3 above.
