Where a position is identified as potentially excess, the first step is to consider local redeployment options for the employee occupying that position in order to prevent an excess employee situation.
In accordance with the Department of Human Services Agreement 2011 – 2014 subclause J3.1, “The department will actively explore redeployment options initially within an employee’s current Section, Branch and Division and then through the department-wide job placement scheme with a view to preventing excess employee situations.” Once local redeployment options have been exhausted and appropriate consultation has taken place with potentially affected employees, an employee will be registered on the department’s Job Placement Service Register.
Business areas within the department identify positions that are excess.

i) There are no other costs incurred by the department because of any of these redeployments.
