C7 Staffing profile

The number of staff employed by the Directorate increased by 86, from 5,608 in
2009-10 to the current level of 5,694. The majority of these staff were employed
in schools to meet the increase in student enrolments in 2011, particularly in
schools with special needs students and the two new schools (Namadgi School and
Gungahlin College).

The ratio of female to male staff (3.5:1 or 78 percent to 22 percent) has remained consistent for the last three financial years. The average length of service has increased slightly from 8.4 years to 8.5 years this financial year. The average age of the Directorate’s workforce has also remained constant this year at just under 44 years of age.
