Human resources activities

Recruitment policies and programs

The Department aims to be an employer of choice by offering current and prospective employees

challenging and rewarding employment opportunities and by applying contemporary employment practices.

Recruitment practices and procedures are conducted in accordance with the State Service Act 2000,

including the State Service Commissioner's Directions.

During the year, the Department continued to provide family friendly employment options through a

variety of flexible working arrangements including part-time employment, flexible working hours, working

from home, leave without pay and access to the State Service Accumulated Leave Scheme (SSALS). A

number of employees were also able to access the agency’s working from home policy for short periods

either to assist them in their return to work from injury or illness, to investigate the potential for improved

service delivery, or to test the Department’s pandemic readiness for off-site service delivery.

Human Resource Management Information System

Implementation of the latest version of the Human Resources Management Information System (Empower,

Version 9 Service Pack 2) was completed and resolved a range of system issues, including the accurate

production of the 2009 Payment Summaries, and to take advantage of the latest enhancements in Empower

and Employee Self Service (ESS). Major enhancements include advanced searching, work pattern matching,

and the ability to return workflow to employees in ESS.

Staff Development

The Department of Premier and Cabinet is committed to making DPAC a challenging and supportive place

to work and a place that develops and fosters its people.

The Performance Management and Development (PMD) program was reviewed following the

implementation of the Tasmanian State Service Award 2008 which provides for performance based salary

increases for the first time in the public sector. The new program provides a mechanism to assess

employee performance, identify the tasks that employees need to undertake over the coming year, develop

plans to further develop their skills and potential, and reward performance.

The intent of the PMD program is to:

integrate corporate, division and individual planning and performance management

identify the standards of performance expected from employees

improve communication at all levels

provide regular documented feedback on performance to all employees

identify and address under performance

recognise and reward effective and high performance.

The PMD process is fundamental to ensuring staff in DPAC are given every opportunity to develop their

skills and potential to deliver on the Department’s goals.

PMD will now operate on a financial year basis with all PMD discussions and reports to be concluded by

July of each year. This will enable effective and fair assessment of the work performance of all employees

and enable appropriate development strategies to be developed and implemented before the employee

reaches their next salary progression point.

During the year the department’s leadership group participated in a leadership development program

aimed at improving our leadership capability and related skills.


Workplace diversity

The Department's Workplace Diversity Plan aims to achieve a harmonious and productive workplace. The

plan features:

an overall Department of Premier and Cabinet Workplace Diversity statement

definition of workplace diversity

assignment of responsibilities for raising staff awareness of the program and principles of workplace

diversity

how the workplace diversity program will be achieved

creation of related policies and procedures including:

o grievance policy and procedures

o recruitment and promotion procedures

o occupational health and safety strategies

o marketing the counselling service.

In addition, the Department established an inter-divisional representative committee to develop a disability

action plan. More information about this plan is on page 107.

Internal grievance procedures

The Agency’s grievance policy and procedure incorporates the principles of natural justice and is designed

to address grievances at the earliest possible stage to avoid an escalation to a formal grievance process. It is

expected that through consultation, cooperation and discussion, amicable resolutions will be achieved.

The grievance policy and procedures also formally recognise the important role of workplace behaviour

contact officers and the need for appropriate record keeping. During 2008-09, there were no formal

internal grievances lodged.

Public access to agency decision-making

Members of the public are able to seek input into the Department's decision-making process either by

invitation to comment on government policy development or by direct contact with the Minister and/or the

Secretary of the Department.

The Department website details the functions and purpose of each unit of the Department and the contact

officers and addresses for sub-branches.

The Department maintains the Tasmanian Government Directory, an online telephone and email address

listing for most government employees and organisations enabling easy access to employees within the

Department and the wider State Service.


Public interest disclosures

Issues of public interest can be brought to the attention of the Agency in accordance with the Department's

Public Interest Disclosures Guidelines, which are available to the public via the agency website at

www.dpac.tas.gov.au/

No public interest disclosures were lodged during the reporting period.

Occupational health and safety strategies

The Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) is committed to providing a workplace that is safe and

healthy and promotes health and wellbeing for all employees, contractors and consultants. The objective is

to minimise the risk of death or injury to DPAC employees, consultants and contractors through:

safe workplaces

safe and healthy work systems

staff being aware of, understanding, supporting and committed to the health and safety of

themselves and other employees

complying with legislative requirements relating to health and safety of staff in the workplace.

The major potential risks identified for DPAC staff are:

stress related to work pressures, work load and demanding timeframes

repetitive strain injury

injury related to inappropriate, faulty or misused office furniture and equipment

minor accidents and sprains from slippery or uneven surfaces

virus infection (such as common colds and influenza

incidents related to the use of government motor vehicles.

The major issues and drivers setting the occupational health and safety priorities for the Department are:

release of the Health and Wellbeing Survey for whole-of-government and for DPAC which will

highlight areas for future attention

support for initiatives arising from the Premier’s Physical Activity Council

impact of contagious illnesses such swine flu on employees.

As at 30 June the Department was finalising an OH&S strategic plan which includes the following strategies:

implement a system to plan, document and verify methods of managing hazards and associated risks

through the Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Plan, ensure preventative measures and support

systems are in place in response to an outbreak of an infectious disease

provide training/retraining for all elected members, workplace responsible officers, employee safety

representatives and supervisors

develop a DPAC/MPS health and wellbeing strategy based on the results of the Health and

Wellbeing Survey

refine and develop an annual wellbeing program which incorporates initiatives such as a healthy

lunchtime program, and Global Corporate Challenge to support the Employee Health and Wellbeing

Strategy and Premier’s Physical Activity Council initiatives.

Asset management, pricing and risk management policies

Major capital projects

There were no major capital works undertaken during 2008-09.

Asset management policies

The Department, excluding TMD, records heritage items and purchases of equipment, furniture and fittings

with a value greater than $10,000 as assets. Purchases of these items valued at less than $10,000 are

recorded as expenses. For business purposes, TMD maintains an asset recognition threshold of $1,000.

Assets are recognised and valued on an individual basis, as follows:

Non-current physical assets are valued in accordance with AASB 116, Property, Plant and

Equipment, and Treasurer's Instructions. Minor equipment and other non-current assets are valued

at cost. Heritage assets are valued on a fair value basis.

The written-down book value of assets is determined by depreciating them over the period of their

expected useful economic life, using the straight-line method. The useful economic life is three to

five years, depending on the asset and depreciated in the year of acquisition or from the time the

asset is ready for use.

Heritage assets are not depreciated.

Pricing policies for goods and services

The Department’s pricing policy is based on full cost recovery. Full cost includes direct salaries, employer

superannuation contributions, payroll tax, all operating expenditure, rental, fringe benefits tax, provision for

annual and long service leave entitlements and in some cases provision for capital reinvestment.

TMD charges for telecommunications and computing services and receives no government appropriation

from the Consolidated Fund.

The Office of the Parliamentary Counsel charges for drafting services as follows:

Full costs are charged when:

the instructing agency is off budget, a statutory authority or a government business enterprise

the legislation being drafted is part of a major project which will result in direct financial return to

the State

non-consolidated external funding is available

it is a major review of legislation or subordinate legislation

instructions are provided without adequate lead time.

The Training Consortium (TTC), incorporated within the Public Sector Management Office, charges on a

full cost recovery basis for training services.

Service Tasmania receives funding from government departments, Government Business Enterprises, other

external organisations such as Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST), local government, Australian

Government agencies and the private sector for services delivered through Service Tasmania shops.

Risk management policies

As part of the Department’s risk management strategy the following activities were undertaken during

2008-09

purchased insurance where it was indicated that it would minimise risk

reduced the cost of insurance premiums by retaining a significant part of each risk

required all landlords and building managers of premises leased and occupied to minimise risk to

buildings from the elements and from intrusion

maintained a process for the handling of confidential documents

maintained budgetary control through regular monitoring and reporting.


Contributions and grants

The Department received requests for financial assistance from a variety of organisations within the

community.

Allocation of funding is made from funds appropriated to the Department for specific grant programs or to

fund grants of a miscellaneous nature that do not readily fall within the responsibility of other government

agencies. The amounts noted below are GST exclusive.

The Premier and Ministers often receive requests for financial assistance from a variety of organisations

within the community. A specific allocation is made from the funds appropriated to the Department to

meet some of these requests, which are generally of a miscellaneous nature and do not readily fall within

the responsibility of other government agencies. The amounts noted are GST exclusive where applicable.

Review of grant programs

Under Treasurer’s Instruction 709 released in August 2008, grant programs are to be reviewed every 12

months, and the findings of the review are to be included in the Department’s Annual Report. The following

is a summary of those grant programs reviewed during the reporting period.

Family Assistance Program

The Family Assistance Program was established in 1992-93 and each year funds five community sector

organisations: Anglicare Tasmania, The Salvation Army (Tasmania), the St Vincent de Paul Society

(Tasmania), Hobart City Mission and Launceston City Mission.

The three objectives of the Program are to increase:

provision of direct emergency relief to Tasmanian families suffering financial hardship

provision of preventative support programs that are ancillary to the provision of emergency relief

practical social policy research in agreed areas associated with emergency relief.


In 2008-09, the Social Inclusion Unit (SIU) reviewed three aspects of the Program’s administrative processes

in accordance with Treasurer’s Instructions 709. The SIU commissioned Crown Law to draft new Grant

Deeds to ensure the terms and conditions of the grant are set out in a legally binding agreement and to

ensure that it dealt appropriately with the provisions of GST, as recommended by KPMG in its review of

the Department’s Goods and Services Tax.

In addition the SIU negotiated new Approved Purposes with the five recipient organisations to broaden the

scope of the services able to be funded under the Program to the Government’s priorities for social

inclusion.

The SIU intends to review other aspects of the Program in 2009-10.

Food vans

In 2008, the Government granted recurrent funding to three food van organisations Loui’s Van operated by

St Vincent de Paul Society (Tasmania) in greater Hobart; Gran’s Van in Devonport; and City Mission

Outreach Trailer and Mission Beat in Launceston.

The objectives of the grants are to assist with the provision of food and beverage services and outreach to

other services, information and social contact to Tasmanians.

The Unit intends to review the Food Vans Program’s administrative processes in accordance with the

revised Treasurer’s Instructions 709 during 2009-10.

ClimateConnect

The ClimateConnect program is a new program developed in 2008.

The overarching objective of the ClimateConnect Program is to assist local communities, households and

individuals work together to find climate change solutions. This key objective aligns with the Resilient and

Adaptive Communities priority area identified in the Tasmanian Framework for Action on Climate Change.

The Program offers grants of up to $50,000 to Tasmanian not-for-profit community groups to undertake

practical on-ground activities that:

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Conserve energy

Encourage others to act; and

Promote new ideas to help tackle climate change and reduce costs to communities over time.

The Program’s first funding round closed on 30 January 2009. Ten projects were selected for funding under

the first round.

A review of the ClimateConnect program objectives and guidelines will be undertaken in September, prior

to opening the program’s second funding round in late 2009.

Shared Services Program

The Shared Services Grants Program was a component of the Stronger Councils, Better Services initiative. It

aimed to increase the resource-sharing, regional capacity and innovative service delivery of councils and

council-owned bodies. Four collaborative projects were funded through the Shared Services Grants

Program initiative. Two of these four projects have been completed. It is expected the remaining projects

will be completed in September 2009 and that a review of the program will be undertaken in late 2009.


Government procurement

In 2008-09, the Department awarded thirteen contracts (six contractors and seven consultancies) with a

value over $50,000 (excluding GST).

The following table summarises the level of participation by local businesses with regard to contracts,
