Answer

I as Minister of Finance and the Minister for the Public Service and Digitising Government sent letters to Ministers and Chief Executives of agencies included in the Public Service Transformation laying out expectations for eligible agencies. Ministers are closely engaging with their officials on appropriate steps as part of the Government’s Public Service Transformation.
