3 Staffing allocations are the number of positions allocated by the Prime Minister under the MOP(S) Act. At any given time the actual number of MOP(S) Act employees may differ from the number of staffing allocations if, for example, not all positions are filled or one position is filled by two or more part-time employees. Tables one through 17 represent staffing numbers as at 30 June 2008 and 30 June 2009, which will differ from the position allocations in the above chart.

4 In the 2009-10 Budget funding was provided for an additional 42 personal staff positions. This followed the recommendations of the independent staffing review conducted by Mr Alan Henderson PSM. As the new positions were effective from 1 July 2009, they are not reflected in the above chart but will be included in the MOP(S) Act Annual Report for 2009-10.
