SAIMOS - Biological and Flow Cytometry data collected from CTD stations in South Australia, in February 2010

Flow cytometry data was collected in February 2010, in waters off South Australia. 

The general purpose of the study is to be able to establish background knowledge on the ecosystem on the continental shelf of South Australia and the impact of upwelling/saline outflow events on microbial communities to ultimately develop a biogeochemical model of the region. Sampling was carried out during cruises conducted on board the RV Ngerin as part of the Southern Australian Integrated Marine System (SAIMOS). During each cruise, the physical, chemical and biological properties of the chlorophyll fluorescence maximum (FM) layer were investigated. Flow cytometry data has been collected for picophytoplankton, bacteria and viruses.

Six main stations have been sampled over the course of the study, five are located on the 100 m isobath, i.e. RS (35.508S, 136.278E), B2 (35.418S, 136.148E), B3 (35.258S, 136.048E), B4 (35.168S, 135.418E) and B5 (35.008S, 135.198E), and one from an offshore station (B1; 36.188S, 136.178E) located southwest of Kangaroo Island. Note that combining the distances between stations (14–25 nautical miles), the average component of the current velocity at middepth along the shelf (0.01 m s21) and the average speed of the vessel (i.e. 9 knots) indicate that different water masses were sampled at each station. Additional samples have on occasion been collected from the National Reference Station (NRS) at Kangaroo Island (35.832S, 136.447E) and the SA Spencer Gulf Mouth Mooring (SAM8SG, 35.25S, 136.690E), where the saline outflow occurs.

Radiolarian abundance counts on Last Glacial Maximum core samples

Abundance counts by taxon of radiolaria from six Eastern Indian Ocean core samples dated to the last glacial maximum. The samples were selected because they were also used for the estimatation of sea-surface temperature by Barrows and Juggins (2005) and thus could provide some confirmation of the estimates made using the radiolarian transfer function.

Public Sector Commission WA Employee Perception Survey 2014

In Western Australia, the Public Sector Commission's purpose is to bring leadership and expertise to the public sector to enhance integrity, effectiveness and efficiency. The Commission’s vision is of a high performing public sector serving the needs of the State now and into the future.

In accordance with section 22D of the Public Sector Management Act 1994, the Public Sector Commissioner reports annually to Parliament on the state of public sector administration and management, and on the extent of compliance with public sector standards and ethical codes. One of the primary information sources used for the State of the WA public sector report 2014 - Measuring up is the employee perception survey (EPS). 

The EPS captures employee views about factors affecting their workplace, such as leadership, communication, work/life balance and performance development. This information helps to understand organisational culture across the public sector and is essential in identifying areas for further consideration and acknowledging good practice. 

The EPS is typically conducted in each public sector body with more than 20 employees once every five years. Different regional offices for the largest agencies, Department of Health and Department of Education, are surveyed every year. To improve the representativeness of the sample, entities are selected across a range of sizes and portfolios. However, care should be taken in interpreting the EPS results because the sample may not be entirely representative of the broader public sector.

Between February and June 2014, all employees in 21 public sector entities were asked to complete the survey (including two regional offices from the Department of Health and one from the Department of Education). The average response rate to the survey was 48%, with 6879 valid responses received.

Three files are available for download on data.gov.au:

1)    Public Sector Commission EPS 2014.pdf – the survey instrument sent to relevant employees to access online or in hardcopy.

2)    Public Sector Commission EPS 2014 data.xls – individual responses to the EPS, with a question key and response key. Please note that some variables have been removed or aggregated to protect the privacy and anonymity of respondents. 

3)    Public Sector Commission EPS 2014 data.sav – individual responses to the EPS, in .sav format to be used with SPSS. Please note that some variables have been removed or aggregated to protect the privacy and anonymity of respondents. 

Further information about the EPS sample and summary results for 2014 are available in the [State of the WA public sector statistical bulletin 2014 - Measuring up](http://www.publicsector.wa.gov.au/document/state-wa-public-sector-statistical-bulletin-2014-%E2%80%93-measuring).

Public Sector Commission Public Sector Entity Survey 2015

In Western Australia, the Public Sector Commission's purpose is to bring leadership and expertise to the public sector to enhance integrity, effectiveness and efficiency. The Commission’s vision is of a high performing public sector serving the needs of the State now and into the future.

In accordance with section 22D of the Public Sector Management Act 1994, the Public Sector Commissioner reports annually to Parliament on the state of public sector administration and management, and on the extent of compliance with public sector standards and ethical codes. One of the primary information sources used for the State of the WA public sector report 2015 - Creating opportunities is the public sector entity survey (PSES). 

The 2015 PSES collected information across topics such as the application of Commissioner’s Instruction No. 7 – Code of Ethics, codes of conduct and general principles of human resource management, public interest disclosure, equal employment opportunity strategies and agency management at June 2015 or for the 2014/15 financial year. The survey was sent to chief executive officers and chief employees of public sector entities with over 20 full-time equivalents as at December 2014, including Senior Executive Service (SES) organisations, non-SES organisations and departments of state. In 2015, 84 public sector entities completed the survey. 

Three files are available for download on data.gov.au:

1)    Public Sector Commission PSES 2015.pdf – the survey instrument sent to relevant entities to access online.

2)    Public Sector Commission PSES 2015 data.xls – individual agency responses to the PSES with a question key and response key. Please note some variables have been removed to simplify the dataset. 

3)    Public Sector Commission PSES 2015 data.sav – individual agency responses to the PSES, in .sav format to be used with SPSS. Please note some variables have been removed to simplify the dataset.
