How many staff, if any, at any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible, since 27 November 2023, have been made redundant, broken down by month and by (a) voluntary redundancy and (b) all other forms of redundancy; and of those, how many have subsequently been appointed to a new role at the same agency, broken down by employment status (contractor, consultant, permanent, part-time), as at 5 June 2026?

Answer
I am advised that Corrections can only provide the number of staff made redundant by financial year as providing these details broken down by month will likely breach the privacy of the staff members involved. I am further advised that since November 2023, twelve staff at Corrections have been made redundant, five in the 2025 financial year, and seven in the 2026 financial year. Of the twelve redundancies in total, four were voluntary. I am also advised that of the twelve staff made redundant, three have been appointed to new roles at Corrections. Two are on a full-time fixed term contract and one is on part-time fixed term contract.
