FACS – Corporate Services Transformation update – December 2017 (PDF version)
PSA representatives were briefed on the second Corporate Services restructure (RMP2) proposal on 4 December 2017. Affected staff were also briefed by FACS representatives at Ashfield and Liverpool offices.
Restructure Management Plan 2 impacts on staff in the following areas:
- Performance and reporting roles in HR and Finance
- Performance Analysis and Reporting Branch in Corporate Governance and Performance
- ICT
- FASCAR which now becomes the FACS Insights, Analysis and Research (FACSIAR) Directorate.
Initial analysis by PSA representatives sees a reduction of roles across each area. The draft structures also reveal an unhealthy number of contractors within the ICT functional areas of more than 80 roles.
PSA request members’ and delegates’ feedback, particularly where a concern relates to deleted roles or a large number of temporary or contract staff currently engaged or proposed within the draft structures.
The RMP2 is now open for consultation until 23 January 2018 (click HERE). The PSA would like to respond to FACS management prior to 22 December in order to address issues concerning the Draft ICT and Information Management Structures and the Restructure Management Plan 2. The PSA has requested a further meeting prior to 22 January 2018.
The PSA will be holding a meeting for members prior to the Christmas break to deal with any CST issues a separate notice will follow.
Members can email any questions or concerns to or call the PSA Member Support Centre on 1300 772 679.
