The Human Resource Management System (HRMS) for the Civil Service was introduced in 2002. The compilation of pre-2002 data would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work. For this reason, staff employed in this Department by civil service grade has been provided for the years 2002, 2005 and 2010. The information is set out in the table.
Following the reconfiguration of the heritage function in 2002-2003, my Department had assumed responsibility also for a number of State Industrial employees which were mainly based in the National Parks. Records available show that industrial employees totalled 115 full-time equivalent (FTE) permanent staff in 2005 and 110.1 FTE permanent staff in 2010. These staff include Guides, Craft Workers and Office Administration staff. In addition, the Department recruits a variable number of seasonal staff annually (subject to sanction from the Department of Finance) mainly for guiding and park maintenance work. There were approximately 50 seasonal staff employed in 2005 and 70 seasonal staff in 2010.
