Registry Premises

The Registry has a Principal Registry located in Melbourne and a Registry in each other capital city. In Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, Registry services have been outsourced to the State Government Industrial Registry under federal/State workplace relations harmonisation arrangements. However, associates (personal staff of Commission Members) in these locations continue to be employed by the Registry, therefore those employees identified as being located in Queensland, South Australia or Western Australia are associates.

Deployment of Staff

There were 188 paid Registry employees at 30 June 2001, geographically deployed as follows:

In addition to the paid employees above (which include both ongoing and non-ongoing employees) there were:

two ongoing employees temporarily with other APS agencies.

Workforce Planning

The 2000-01 year for the Registry generally represented a stabilising period in terms of recruitment and workforce planning, following on from the comprehensive team-based structure reorganisation in the previous year. Recruitment to the Registry during the year targeted the acquisition of specific skills sets (predominately information technology skills) or associate recruitment, particularly for the five new Members appointed to the Commission.

Separations

During the 2000-01 financial year a total of 25 employees left the Registry – 19 ongoing employees and six non-ongoing employees. A further 11 non-ongoing employees were employed during the year but ceased at the end of their specified-term employment period. The total number of APS employees at 30 June 2001 was 188, a decrease of three or 1.6% on the number of employees as at 30 June 2000. Based upon the staffing level at 30 June 2001, the 25 employees leaving during the year represented a turnover rate of 13.3%.

Resignation – 13 (52%) and voluntary redundancy – seven (28%) were the primary reasons for the 25 employee departures. Another four (16%) were promoted or moved to another APS Agency.

Ongoing Part-Time Work

The number of employees undertaking part-time work reduced from five ongoing employees at 30 June 2000 to three ongoing employees (two females and one male) at 30 June 2001.
