Government Website Monitors Upcoming Public Service Job Cuts

The federal government has launched a website to track planned job cuts in the public service due to a comprehensive expenditure review aiming to reduce the workforce by approximately 10%. The review consists of two phases, with notifications already sent to public servants across 24 departments, targeting 15,755 employee and 642 executive positions. While some departments are finalizing their plans, unions are demanding transparency regarding the impact on services. Data on the website is current but excludes smaller departments and some unconfirmed cuts.
