Public Sector Commission WA Employee Perception Survey 2013

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 sector report 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 March and August 2013, all employees in 17 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 38%, with 5207 valid responses received.

Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time in the core MD002361, located on the shelf edge offshore Western Australia

The calcareous tests of Globigerinoides ruber are analysed to quantify the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time at core site MD002361 (113o28.63'E, 22o04.92'S). The heaviest 18O value was recorded during MIS 12 (at a depth of 1265cm) with a value of -0.04ppt, while the lightest 18O value of -2.49ppt was registered at 1200cm depth, during MIS 11. Once the estimated ice volume effect has been accounted for, this still leaves a substantial difference 18O which must be accounted for through significant changes in sea-surface temperature (SST) or salinity. The 13C record ranges from a minimum at approximately 126k yrs BP of -0.05ppt during MIS 5, to a maximum value of 2.11ppt during MIS 10.

Primary and Secondary Coastal Sediment Compartment Maps

The National Classification of Coastal Sediment Compartments captures information on the spatial extent of all sediment compartments on the Australian coast. The classification implements a conceptual framework that supports regional and site-specific coastal management and can guide the selection of approaches to modelling shoreline response. The classification is based on the sediment systems and the geomorphologic processes that operate therein. This information is fundamental for predicting how the shoreline responds to the processes that act on it, both in the current and future climate. These include changes in waves and currents associated with sea-level rise and the placement of coastal infrastructure, e.g. sea walls and ports.

The classification is provided as two maps depicting primary and secondary sediment compartments, defined by polygons intersecting the coastline. The classification is hierarchical, such that secondary compartments fall within the extent of the primary compartments. Compartment extents, as identified by a panel of independent coastal science experts, were based on geology, geomorphology, topography and shoreline aspect. Primary compartment borders occur where these features were identified at scales between 1:250 000 and 1:100 000. Secondary compartment borders occur where these features were identified at scales less than 1:100 000

The seaward and landward boundaries of the compartments were defined by the offshore bathymetric depth and the onshore topographic elevation, respectively as follows:
	-130 m and +50 m elevation values for primary compartments, and  
	-50 m and +25 m elevation values for secondary compartments.

This product is the result of a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Climate Change, Technology and Tertiary Education. The spatial data shown in the maps, along with a detailed report and spatial data for the remaining broader scale compartments, will be available via web delivery in late 2013 through the Geoscience Australia website (www.ga.gov.au).

Preliminary log of core GC04, collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin

Core GC04 was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin. The upper 140cm of the core was used in this study and was composed of very fine yellow-brown coloured clay. The sediments are slightly laminated, indicative of a low energy deposition regime. The core also shows 'black specks' in different concentrations, which is indicative of the appearance of a darker, non-carbonate fraction.

Predictive tools for white syndromes in Northern Australia: targeting monitoring and informing management (MTSRF 2.5i.3, JCU, Uni Melbourne)

Climate change has emerged as the single greatest threat to coral reefs. The climate change threat will take many forms and includes projections that there will be higher abundances of coral diseases. Links have already been made between high temperatures and outbreaks of the disease ¿white syndrome¿ in the Indo-Pacific but little is known about the disease due, in part, to not knowing where outbreaks will occur. We present results of a regression model that suggests the most severe outbreaks of white syndrome observed on the Great Barrier Reef, in late 2002, only occurred at sites that experienced high rates of temperature increase during summer months, rates not seen again in the GBR until 2009. We have produced an image for each summer since and including 2002 that colour-grades and maps white syndrome outbreak likelihood for northern Australia as high or low. The images are based on retrospective calculations of summer rates of temperature increase from high-resolution remotely sensed temperature data. The interactive tool produced from the images is the first like it for coral disease and forms the early warning system within a new coral disease outbreak response plan. The tool will help to target research and monitoring that can improve our understanding of white syndrome outbreaks and determine whether actions can be taken by managers to reduce the susceptibility of corals to such diseases (Maynard et al. in review).

The data, presented as images, have no units.  Pixels have been coloured red (~1 km resolution) that experienced heating rates at least as great as was experienced at sites where outbreaks of white syndromes occurred in the southern GBR late in 2002.

This dataset was developed as part of the MTSRF program.

Industry breakdown of PPSR registrations

The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is the single, national online database of security interests in personal property in Australia. Personal property generally includes all forms of property other than land, buildings and fixtures. Buyers can check the PPSR to see if the valuable second-hand goods they want to buy are debt-free and safe from repossession. Businesses selling on terms, such as retention of title or consignment, or leasing, renting or hiring out valuable goods can register their security interest on the PPSR. 

This dataset was specially created by AFSA for GovHack 2016. It contains the number of new registrations on the PPSR by ANZSIC industry division and subdivision.

AFSA sourced the Industry information from the Australian Business Register (ABR). To do this, AFSA used the Australian Company Number (ACN) to match records. To protect privacy, AFSA assigned each ACN a random number instead of showing the actual ACN.

This data is a subset of overall PPSR registrations created. It solely includes registrations created by organisational secured parties that have registered on the PPSR with an ACN. 

Please refer to that guide for more information. For further inquiries, please email statistics@afsa.gov.au.

Potential Adelie penguin breeding habitat in the Australian Antarctic Territory

The current distribution of Adelie penguin breeding colonies in the AAT is being mapped through a series of 'occupancy' surveys.

A GIS of potential Adelie penguin breeding habitat was developed by David Smith and Angela Bender from the AADC to structure the overall search effort. Potential Adelie penguin breeding habitat was defined as islands or ice-free land close to the ocean. The GIS spanned across longitudes 36.98 to 158.82 and included 4917 sites of potential breeding habitat (see file 'Sites'). Each site of potential breeding habitat has been given an identifying code and a centroid location with an associated latitude and longitude. More information on the GIS is given in Southwell et al. (2009).

The AAT coastline was broken into groups and subgroups which were surveyed when logistics allowed. For information about the surveys see the metadata record 'Occupancy surveys of Adelie penguin breeding distribution in the Australian Antarctic Territory' with Entry ID: ASAC_2722_Occupancy_Surveys and the associated child metadata records.

Maps of potential breeding habitat in the groups and subgroups were produced by Angela Bender from the GIS to use in the field surveys.

The download files include:
1 Shapefiles created for this study: one representing islands and ice-free continental land and other with the subgroup boundaries. Notes about the development of the shapefiles are included.
2 The maps (as pdf) of potential breeding habitat.
3 An Excel spreadsheet detailing the names of the sites and their locations.
