From last budget a forecast reduction of 4% in Dep of Human services staffing.
That should help fund the 250 outsourced jobs to SERCO.
I wonder if they will know what they are talking about?
Quote news:
250 of the company's Australian, (Melbourne based), subsidiary staff will take calls about payments in a three-year pilot program costing the government $51.7 million
Budget figure:
Department of Human Services
28,647 full time equivalents staff in 2017-18
(-1,188 jobs or -4.0%)
The projected decrease is due to departmental efficiencies, a reduction in the level of support required by the National Disability Insurance Agency and terminating budget measures.
