One of the goals outlined in my Department's current Statement of Strategy is to continue to develop a highly skilled, diverse and gender-balanced workforce. My Department is committed to supporting a positive working environment for all staff, one that provides equality of opportunity and supports work-life balance. My Department has had an active gender balance initiative in place since 2010, which has conducted a number of reviews and developed an action plan to address the issue through its HR Strategy and in consultation with staff. In addition, gender balance is a key commitment of the Civil Service Renewal Plan (Action 8.5) and my Department has been active in progressing initiatives in this area as part of a whole of Government approach.
The table below shows the number of women and men currently (as at 7/12/2018) employed by my Department:
Gender | Count of Gender |

The question of gender breakdown within the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each Agency. I have referred the question to the agencies under the aegis of my Department for direct reply.
