Labor Cabinet to develop up to 20 Key Performance Indicators to measure performance of Government;       

Heads of Departments to be measured against Key Performance Indicators with 20% of their salaries linked to successful outcomes;

A 20% reduction in the number of Senior Executive Service positions;

Service Priority Review to reduce the number of agencies by 20%.   

We are aware that the budget position of the Government is parlous, and we understand that any future Government has a responsibility to redress the debt situation West Australians have been put in.

CPSU/CSA members are our priority and members have been clear with us that their priority is the delivery of valued services to West Australians.

The CPSU/CSA will seek to engage on behalf of members with the Service Priority Review to ensure that our members concerns, ideas and aspirations are met.
