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.
The information presented in this chapter is for paid headcount and full-time equivalent (FTE) as at 23 June 2011. The figures have been provided by Shared Services, Treasury Directorate.
The statistics exclude board members, staff not paid by the ACT Public Service and people on leave without pay. Staff members who had separated from the ACT Public Service but received a payment have been included.
