Notes

Data for tables 7 to 9 provided by VPSC. Data exclude cemeteries, school councils and small committees of Crown Land Management. Where the Public Administration Act 2004 status is neither public entity nor special body, and where DPC classification is not applicable, the data is not reported. Figures may differ to previously published data for prior years due to ongoing remediation, increased completeness of data or an appointee’s decision to disclose or no longer disclose additional characteristics. Data include machinery of government changes, which can affect departmental figures compared with numbers in publications and reports in previous years.
