Staff Impact- as advised at the briefing to staff.
Q: How does this proposed realignment differ from previous changes? A: This realignment represents the next stage in MHNSW’s evolution. While previous changes have been in response to emerging needs, this is a deliberate, organisation-wide review that aligns MHNSW structure with the long-term strategic direction set out in the MHNSW Strategy 2025–30.
Q: Will anyone lose their job as part of this proposed realignment? A: No. The Band 2 Chief Operating Officer role will be removed from the current structure, but that role will be vacant at the time of the realignment, as its current occupant finishes their secondment on 30 September 2025 and returns to their substantive role in another department.
Q: Will my current role or team change? A: Some reporting lines and division names may change. Any specific impacts on roles are outlined in the Change Management Plan and Role Descriptions.
Q: Will I need to re-apply for my role? A: No. The proposed changes do not require staff to reapply for their current role. Vacant Executive roles will be recruited via a comparative recruitment process.
Q: How will the executive roles be filled under the proposed realignment? In cases where a division is being renamed, but its core functions remain largely the same, the relevant executive will continue in their role with a new role title and some minor edits to their position description.
Where a Band 1 Executive role is vacant, an internal Expression of Interest (EOI) will be undertaken to fill the role on a temporary basis. A full comparative recruitment process will be undertaken in accordance with the Government Sector Employment legislation.
There are 7 PSSE roles at the MHNSW.
