ACT public service—Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff
(Question No 107)

Mr Wall asked the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, upon notice, on 11 April 2013:

How many employees in the ACT Public Service, who have identified as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, are currently employed in frontline service delivery roles in each ACT Government directorate.

Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

1. As at 27 March 2013, the number of ACT Public Servants who have identified as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employed in each ACT Government Directorate is at Attachment A.

The HR System does not contain sufficient information to identify if a position is a frontline service delivery role. The only feasible way to identify the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff working in such roles would involve producing a list specifically identifying the staff and a manual review of the list by a person with knowledge of the roles (such as Business Managers in line areas). Specifically identifying staff who have volunteered equal employment opportunity information on such a list would contradict the commitment made by the Government that the data collected will not be used to identify people and will only be used for statistical purposes.
