The 2006-07 State Budget handed
down on 21 September 2006 announced that Shared Services
proposals were to be introduced in the Public Service for areas of
Human Resources, Finance, Payroll, Procurement and Information
Technology with expected savings of $130 million.
Since that time the PSA has been pursuing the interest of members through commissioning research on how Shared Services has or has not worked in Australia and overseas (that research is available below) and pursuing issues raised by members over what is being proposed in South Australia. This page, which is updated as events transpire, provides details of the way that the PSA has been actively pursuing Shared Services proposals on behalf of members.
