​The current average age of staff in my Department is 48 years.  This is a decrease on the average age at the end of 2011 when the average age was 50 years, and 2008 where the average age was 51 years.

Staff retirements and recent recruiting at clerical level have brought the average age down.

In relation to the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department, I have asked the agencies to provide the Deputy with the information requested.  If you do not receive a reply from the agencies within ten working days please advise my private office.
