OVERVIEW
An organisation can’t achieve anything…only its people can.
NTDCS seeks to be an employer of choice, drawing talented,
passionate and committed people to collectively contribute to
community safety by reducing re-offending. We seek to attract,
grow, reward and retain a workforce which is diverse and resilient;
who will continue to position our Department to be innovative and
responsive to the government’s and community’s needs.
This section provides an overview of the people who form this
Department, of their personal achievements and just some of their
many collective achievements on behalf of NTDCS.
Building Our Workforce
The Department undertook a number of initiatives to build its
workforce by promoting the diversity of career opportunities and
job vacancies. These included:
Career Expos and Career Information nights
NTDCS successfully promoted its career opportunities to more
than 4,800 visitors at the Skills, Employment and Careers Expos in
Katherine, Darwin, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, and Nhulunbuy.
We also exhibited at smaller careers expos in Borroloola and Groote

1
Total paid headcount refers to the number of employees who were being paid during the fortnightly pay period (pay 27) and has been
used to calculate these figures.
2
The full-time equivalent (FTE) calculation is based on the salary actually paid for the fortnight. One FTE is based on an employee working
full time hours (36.75).
An employee working part time, casual hours or on leave with half pay will be represented as a fraction of this. An employee on leave
without pay will not be included in this calculation.
