Today we released the 2025 Public Service Workforce Data.

Workforce data gives us information about public sector composition, remuneration/pay, senior management, conditions of employment and demographics. It provides important insights including trend information on key metrics and is used to help agencies address workforce pressure points and issues.

The information is collected from staff payroll data of all Public Service departments and departmental agencies at 30 June 2025. We have collected this data since 2000 to help build and maintain a fit-for-purpose Public Service workforce. 

The data is available as a fully interactive information portal. Users can filter and customise the information based on their interests and clearly see trends over time. 

We have also published the latest disclosure of chief executive remuneration. We have publicly reported on chief executive pay since 2010 to provide transparency for the public. This includes the secretaries of departments, chief executives of departmental agencies, Crown agents and other statutory Crown entities, TEIs, Offices of Parliament and non-Public Service departments.
