Quarterly WA public sector full time equivalents (FTE) from September 2008 to September 2014.

In Western Australia, the Public Sector Commission's purpose is to bring leadership and expertise to the public sector to enhance integrity, effectiveness and efficiency. The Commission’s vision is of a high performing public sector serving the needs of the State now and into the future.

In accordance with section 22D of the Public Sector Management Act 1994, the Public Sector Commissioner reports annually to Parliament on the state of public sector administration and management, and on the extent of compliance with public sector standards and ethical codes. One of the primary information sources used for the State of the WA public sector report 2014 - Measuring up is the public sector entity survey (PSES).

The 2014 PSES collected information on the application of Commissioner’s Instruction No. 7 – Code of Ethics, agency codes of conduct and general principles of human resource management and public interest disclosure at June 2014 or for the 2013/14 financial year. The survey was sent to chief executive officers (CEOs) and chief employees of public sector entities with more than 20 full-time equivalents (FTE), including Senior Executive Service (SES) organisations, non-SES organisations and departments of state. Entities with between 20 and 100 FTE completed a shorter version of the survey.

In 2014, 86 public sector entities completed the survey. Of these, 19 entities completed the shorter version of the survey. Where entities were not asked a question, responses have been left blank in the data sets.

Three files are available for download on data.gov.au:

1) Public Sector Commission PSES 2014.pdf – the survey instrument sent to relevant entities to access online.

2) Public Sector Commission PSES 2014 data.xls – individual agency responses to the PSES with a question key and response key. Please note some variables have been removed to simplify the dataset.

3) Public Sector Commission PSES 2014 data.sav – individual agency responses to the PSES, in .sav format to be used with SPSS. Please note some variables have been removed to simplify the dataset.

In Western Australia, the Public Sector Commission's purpose is to bring leadership and expertise to the public sector to enhance integrity, effectiveness and efficiency. The Commission’s vision is of a high performing public sector serving the needs of the State now and into the future.

In accordance with section 22D of the Public Sector Management Act 1994, the Public Sector Commissioner reports annually to Parliament on the state of public sector administration and management, and on the extent of compliance with public sector standards and ethical codes. One of the primary information sources used for the State of the sector reports is the employee perception survey (EPS).

The EPS captures employee views about factors affecting their workplace, such as leadership, communication, work/life balance and performance development. This information helps to understand organisational culture across the public sector and is essential in identifying areas for further consideration and acknowledging good practice.

The EPS is typically conducted in each public sector body with more than 70 employees once every five years. To improve the representativeness of the sample, entities are selected across a range of sizes and portfolios. However, some care should be taken in interpreting the EPS results because the sample may not be entirely representative of the broader public sector.

In May and June of 2016, all employees in 11 public sector entities were asked to complete the survey. The average response rate to the survey was 53%, with 3883 valid responses received.

Three files are available for download on data.gov.au:

Live release 1.0 This APS Career Pathfinder dataset contains the capability frameworks, role definitions and learning catalogues used by the APS Career Pathfinder tool to facilitate career exploration and development in the Australian Public Service (APS). The role definitions include typical APS roles, which describe the skills and general capability requirements typically found in APS jobs based on those roles. You can use these definitions to determine potential career pathways and identify skills gaps and learning solutions that may help fill those gaps. The focus at present is on digital roles, and therefore the capability frameworks, role definitions and the learning catalogue we are using primarily address digital, data and ICT. However, the APS Career Pathfinder tool has the capability to work with other types of capability framework, with roles and leaning mapped accordingly, so that it can support career exploration and development in potentially any area of capability. We’ve defined roles according to skills drawn from capability frameworks, primarily SFIA, the Skills Framework for the Information Age. We use additional capability frameworks where relevant, including other skills frameworks (like CIISec, the Chartered Institute of Information Security skills framework, and the DCF Data Capability Framework), knowledge frameworks (like our simple knowledge magnitude scale), and behaviours (using the APS Work Level Standards). Additional details about roles include: * a brief description of each role or discipline * a mapping to the APS Job Family Model * a mapping to areas of interest * alternative names the roles may have * link to a ‘day in the life of’ profile for certain roles * relative role demand * link to learning solutions related to each role We may define roles as typical APS roles, which are not specific to any agency, or as agency-specific roles. Agencies can include their role definitions in this dataset by sending their definitions to the contact email below. Please send requests to change or augment any of this data to the contact email below. We may consult with our community before including them. This dataset includes the full SFIA framework, reproduced and made available through the SFIA-AU license. Use throughout Australia is permitted through this license, but may be restricted for foreign and multi-national organisations.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. This is one dataset arising from a project whose main aims are: 1. To contribute to knowledge by engaging in a study of the relationship between Australia, New Zealand and international capital markets 1850-1950 which would focus on three key themes: i. The history of Australia and New Zealand as borrowers and debtors. ii. The rise and consolidation of the British 'colonial' market in the London capital market from the mid-nineteenth century to the late 1920s. iii. The interaction between the market disciplines to which all borrowers were subject, and the opportunities and constraints created by membership of the British Empire. The study would also evaluate recent arguments (Cain and Hopkins, 1993) about the role of the City of London in the dynamics of British imperial expansion and control with respect to two British settler societies, Australia and New Zealand. 2. To extend and revise the statistics of Australasian public debt in the period 1850-1950. 3. To create a database of Australasian overseas public loans during that period. The projects specific objectives were to complete three stages of research: 1. The consultation of archival and printed official sources in the United Kingdom and Australia relating to Australasian borrowing activity and relations with overseas creditors during nineteenth century. These either had not been available to, or were not consulted by, earlier historians. 2. The collection of quantitative data for revised statistics of Australian and New Zealand public debt between 1850 and 1950. 3. The collection of data for a database of Australasian overseas public loans during that period. Main Topics: This dataset publishes new statistics of Australian colonial and state debt, and of capital raised by all Australian public borrowers (including corporation) in London, until 1914. Current historical statistics do not distinguish between stocks of debt held locally or abroad. Moreover, the time series of new capital subscribed or received in London prepared by Butlin, Simon, Hall, and others often aggregate all colonial public borrowing, have different terminal dates, and are inconsistent with each other. The new statistics remedy these deficiencies. Three types of table are presented. The first disaggregates, and where necessary corrects, the official annual statistics of stocks of outstanding debt of each Australian colony, distinguishing between the place of original sale, long and short-term securities, and gross new issues (i.e. the nominal value of all securities sold) and repayments. The second shows the stocks of long and short term debt held in Australia and the United Kingdom. These are taken principally from Statistical Registers, and include debt (e.g. stock issued by Savings Banks) omitted from the official statistics in the early years. The final type of table summarises the principal annual flows in London of capital created (including as a result of conversions and exchanges), subscribed, received, and amortized for each colonial government and for public corporations as a single group. It excludes flows arising from remittance of securities originally sold in the colonies, but includes transfers from London to colonial registers and purchases from sinking funds where they are known. The data is presented in 18 spreadsheets and are of seven separate borrowers: New South Wales (3 spreadsheets), Victoria (3), Queensland (3), South Australia (3), Tasmania (2), Western Australia (2), and public corporations (1). Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
