As I have outlined in my earlier reports, when I took up the role of State Service Commissioner in 2004, I made a decision to separate the employment policy functions under the Act from the statutory functions of the Commissioner. This was achieved by delegating my employment policy powers and functions to the Secretary of the Department of Premier and Cabinet, which are now administered through the Public Sector Management Office. A major focus
of my Office over the last three years has been the development and refinement
of one of my statutory functions, that is, to evaluate practices, procedures
and standards in relation to the management of employment in the State
Service. In this regard, significant progress has been made in relation
to the development of the annual Agency Survey and biennial Employee Survey,
both of which provide a valuable perspective on issues relevant to my
statutory functions and underpin the evaluation role of the Office. Importantly,
the results of these surveys are a major factor in determining areas to
target for specific evaluation projects. All employees
are encouraged to investigate this site further and I hope that it is
helpful in providing relevant information about employee rights and responsibilities
under the State Service Act 2000. Robert and his staff would be pleased
to provide assistance in relation to the Commissioner's statutory functions
and responsibilities, and employees are encouraged to contact the Office
if they require further information.
The State Service Act 2000, which came into effect on 1 May 2001, gave Agencies more flexibility in organising work practices as well as encouraging modern management practices in the workplace. Principles and a Code of Conduct have been incorporated into the Act. The State Service Principles will ensure we have effectively managed workplaces, providing opportunities for employees based on equity and fairness, and delivering a high standard of services to the Government and Community. The Code of Conduct provisions reinforce and uphold the Principles by establishing standards of behaviour and conduct that apply to all employees, including Officers and Heads of Agencies. An important aspect of the State Service Commissioner's statutory function is to promote these Principles and the Code of Conduct within the State Service.
In summary,
the statutory functions of the Commissioner under the State Service
Act 2000
