Dear Cassie
s47F
has asked me to assist with scheduling this meeting.
Are you available to meet at any of these times:
Monday 25 January at 1.30pm (AEDT)
Wednesday 27 January at 11.30am or 2.30pm (AEDT)
Thursday 28 January at 10.30am or 11.30am (AEDT)
Our preference would be to meet via Microsoft Teams – does that work from your end? I could
also arrange a Zoom meeting if required.

Dear s47F
Thank you for the enquiry about the ABC’s recent correspondence to s47F
regarding the ABC Review into Buyouts and Band 1 classifications.
I understand that you are seeking to clarify any changes to the approximate numbers of
employees that the ABC is reviewing, specifically during Phase 0 (50 employees) and Phase 1
(400-500 employees) of the review.
I can confirm that the total number of employees being reviewed was initially estimated as
2,000-2,500, referred to in the Phase 1 section on page 3 of the PwC methodology document
provided to the Fair Work Ombudsman on 7 August 2020. For ease of reference, I’ve attached
copies of the methodology and our correspondence on 7 August 2020 to this email.
The reference to 400-500 employees, also in the Phase 1 section on page 3 of the PwC
methodology document, relates to the estimated number of employees being reviewed who also
require a classification review.
The number of employees who require a classification review is a subset of the estimated total
number of employees being reviewed and relates specifically to the Band 1 classification cohort.
The Band 1 cohort require both a file review and a classification review. The Buyout cohort do
not require a classification review.
As part of the work we have undertaken on the review, we have refined our initial estimate of
2,000-2,500 to 1,965 employees across both cohorts. There are 1,706 employees in the Buyouts
cohort and 256 employees in the Band 1 cohort.
I trust that this resolves your query but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
further queries.
Kind regards,
Cassie
