The federal government tabled the latest State of the Service report in parliament on Tuesday, which shows that the number of public sector employees has risen sharply since Labor took office in May 2022. The headcount was 159,190 in mid-2022, but this had risen by 16.4 per cent to 185,343 by the end of the 2023-24 financial year. The National Disability Insurance Agency has recorded the biggest increase in headcount amongst federal agencies. The report also shows that 555 public servants were found to have breached the code of conduct in 2023-24, although only 61 had their employment terminated.
