NDIS staff turnover: Legal, Risk, highest department
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
Please provide details on the NDIS/NDIA staff (and contractors) turnover numbers for the past 4 years (2022, 2021, 2020, 2019). More specifically:
- the overall agency personnel turnover (staff/contractors) percentage (2022, 2021, 2020, 2019)
- turnover rates (staff/contractors) within the legal department/branch (2022, 2021, 2020, 2019)
- turnover rates (staff/contractors)within the risk branch/department (2022, 2021, 2020, 2019)
- which department has had the highest turnover rate/s (staff/contractors) for the past 4 years? (2022, 2021, 2020, 2019)
In total, this is 16 numbers, typically readily available within government agencies. It is not complex, extensive nor voluminous. Typically, this type of information would take 30 minutes to an hour to find and respond.
Recent news reporting suggests there has been very high staff/contractor turnover rates within key NDIA/NDIS departments:
"As many as 40 legal officers have quit the agency over the past eight months."
