The É«ÀÇÉçÇøis aware that work has started on a functional review of the NPWS Aboriginal Partnerships, Planning and Heritage Branch (APPH).
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas been advised the review will consider:
- how APPH is currently organised;
- how work is undertaken across the Branch;
- current and future service delivery requirements and,
- opportunities to improve the way the Branch operates.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøunderstands the purpose of the review is to focus on:
- organisational effectiveness;
- alignment of resources to workload and priorities;
- role clarity;
- decision-making, and
- ways of working and sustainable workloads.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas been assured this review will be a transparent process and the review is being informed by feedback and information provided directly by employees.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøunderstands staff will be engaged via workshops, however, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøis concerned these short, half-hour workshops will be the only engagement with APPH staff.  On this basis the É«ÀÇÉçÇøis concerned staff consultation will be only very limited with respect to this review.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøencourages all members to provide your feedback and views on the review in a hope that the review will meet both members’ and management’s collective needs.
