56185 (2024). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: How many back-office roles are at Corrections, as of 31 August 2024?
Hon Mark Mitchell: Corrections is one of New Zealand’s largest core agencies, employing over 10,000 staff. The majority of Corrections’ workforce is deployed in frontline roles across 17 Corrections-managed prisons and many more Community Corrections sites across New Zealand. The remaining staff in back-office roles enable frontline staff to carry out their role by providing support. I am advised that as at 31 August 2024, from a total of 1,332.95 FTE back-office roles, 267.70 FTE are unfilled. This is also my response to WPQ 56187 (2024).
