ANNUAL REPORT 1968-69
1. RECRUITMENT 1. 1. Appendix " A " to this report is a comparative statement showing the number of officers and employees and salaries and wages paid in the Public Service in each of the preceding four financial years. Appendices " B ", " C " and " D " show the numbers of officers and employees employed on the 30th June, 1969. The over-all increase in Service personnel, permanent and temporary, was 720 compared with the figures of 533, 525, and 663 in the previous years. The total number of persons now employed is 21,741. 1.2. Recruitment figures for the Administrative, Professional and Technical and General Divisions are shown in Appendix " E ". 1.2.1. Administrative Division: Entry is by competitive examination with candidates drawn from the school leaving and matriculation levels. Two competitive examinations were conducted with the following results.
Kumber of Successful Candidates Number of Accepted Appointments Examination I Leaving Matriculation Leaving Matriculation
August, 1968 141 43 124 39 April, 1969 219 112 199 108 I
It will be seen that of the total number of persons so appointed in 1968-69, approximately 30 per centum had passed the matriculation examination. At the 30th June, 1968 there were 36 vacancies in Class "E" whereas at 30th June, 1969, there were 68 vacancies. However, when the "reserve establishment" figure of 150 positions is taken into account there are actually 82 positions in excess of the basic authorized establishment. Recruitment in this Division in the year under review can therefore be regarded as having been satisfactory. 1.2.2. Professional Division: Under a new determination for Draughtsmen competitive examinations for appointment to base grade positions of Draughtsman are no longer held. The only competitive examination for recruitment to the Professional Division which is now held is for the base grade position of Librarian. The principal means of recruitment to the Division is by public advertisement for professionally qualified and experienced persons. The number recruited by public advertisement rose from 116 in 1967-68 to 121 in 1968-69. Architects, Engineers, Medical Officers, Social Workers, Surveyors and Quantity Surveyors were difficult to recruit but in most other groups recruitment has been satisfactory, departmental requirements having been met without undue delay. 1 . 2. 3. Technical and General Division: The position in this Division is generally satisfactory. A total of 894 persons were appointed to this Division during the year. 1 . 2. 4. Temporary Employees: Little difficulty was experienced in meeting the requirements of Departments in the general office group except for Stenographers. Recruitment of Stenographers especially during the winter months again proved difficult. This is giving the Board concern and if this position does not improve it may become necessary to re-introduce part-time employment which proved successful some years back. 8
2. THE SERVICE 2.1. Appendix "F" indicates that the increase in overtime payments was $717,565 above the figure for the previous year with main increases being in the Education and Chief Secretary's Departments and the Mental Hygiene Branch. The increase in the Chief Secretary's Department is misleading as the figure returned from the Department for last year's report was understated by $153,431 in respect of the office of the Chief Commissioner of Police. The actual overall increase therefore was $564,134 instead of $717,565. The increase in the Education Department resulted from extensive overtime being worked in connection with the new Teachers' Award. The overtime payments to institutional staff in the Chief Secretary's Department and the Mental Hygiene Branch increased as a result of the more liberal overtime regulations which came into effect from August, 1968 and shortage of staff. A significant decrease occurred in the State Forests Department mainly because the previous year's overtime was well above normal due to the long hours worked as a result of a long dry summer. Decreases also occurred in the Departments of Law and Mines. 2. 2. Penalty rate payments increased by approximately $300,000. As mentioned in last year's report it was expected that penalty rate payments would increase by a substantial amount as this was the first full year that penalty rates had been paid at the increased rates. 2.3. Promotions and Appeals: There were 1,228 positions advertised during the year for which persons from within the Public Service applied and had the right of appeal pursuant to the provisions of Section 32 of the Public Service Act. Appeals against non-recommendation were received in respect of 520 positions of which the Board heard appeals in respect of 328 cases. The Board upheld appeals in 51 cases. Appendix " G " shows the actual figures for the General Service and Mental Hygiene. 2. 4. The number of applications received for long service leave or pay in lieu thereof is shown in Appendix " H ". There was a small increase in the number of officers applying for long service leave and it was noted that more younger officers are taking long service leave as their entitlements become due. As this was the second complete year in which officers were entitled to apply for pay in lieu of long service leave on resignation it is interesting to note that the number of officers who received pay in lieu under this provision rose from 34 in 1967-68 to 65 in 1968-69. 2.5. In the year under review 46 officers and employees were called up for National Service training. The Board has promoted nine of these officers while absent on training. 2. 6. Details of officers sent abroad on official duty are shown in Appendix " I ". Officers sent abroad on assignments included the Permanent Heads of two Departments, Messrs. A. G. Coulthard, Secretary to the Premier's Department and A. 0. Lawrence, Chairman, Forests Commission. 2. 7. Appointments to some of the more senior positions in the Public Service during the year are listed below :- Department of Agriculture- H. L. Hore, Chief of Division of Agriculture, vice W. B. McDonald, retired. E. J. O'Brien, Chief Chemist, vice F. H. Williams, retired. Department of Health- C. W. Crick, Accountant, vice R. R. Coughlan, retired. Department of Labour and Industry- D. C.

PERMANENT APPOINTMENT OF MARRIED WOMEN. 2.9. Although the services of married women have been used extensively in a temporary capacity in the Public Service and they are employed in virtually all the female occupational groups, permanent appointments have been restricted to married women who are separated from, and are not being maintained by, their husbands. The number of such permanent appointments has been small. 2. 9. 1. Following representations by the Hospital Employees Federation of Australasia, the Board in 1966 decided that it should recommend that permanent appointment should be opened to married women on the trained psychiatric nursing staff of the various institutions of the Mental Hygiene Branch of the Health Department. 2. 9. 2. The Government, rather than limit consideration of the permanent appointment of married women to one particular group, asked the Board to examine the whole question of the .. Marriage Bar ". After investigation it was the Board's recommendation that Section 37 of the Public Service Act should be retained, but the Board should proceed to consider the permanent appointment of married women in all of the occupational groups in the Professional and Technical and General Divisions. 2. 9. 3. The sanction of the Governor in Council has been obtained to appoint married women permanently in the following cases in the Mental Hygiene Branch of the Health Department- Nurse, Principal Nurse, Head Nurse, Head, Assistant Nurse, Charge Nurse, Ward Nurse, Staff Nursing Advisor (Mental Health) Nursing Education Officer, Senior Nursing Education Officer, Grade 11 Nursing Education Officer, Grade I Tutor 2. 9. 4. Departments will now be asked for the following information on which the Board will base its future recommendations to the Governor in Council- (a) the names and designations of all married women employees who wish to apply for permanent appointment. (b) whether the duties of such employees are of a permanent nature. (c) whether the employees possess the pre-requisite qualifications for permanent appointment. (d) whether permanent appointment is recommended (e) the occupational areas for females where authority to appoint married women is recommended, although no married employees are currently engaged. (f) any occupational areas for females where it is felt that appointment should not be extended to married women. The Board expects to be in a position to make a consolidated report to the Governor in Council towards the end of the year. 10
3. TRAINING 3 .1. In keeping with Board policy, training activities continued to expand during the year. An increased number of Induction courses was held, a new course was added to the central program, and the number of training activities conducted by departments increased steadily.
3. I. 1. Two new five-day courses on the techniques of Conference Leading were included in the Central Program. The program provided considerable opportunity for practical application of the technique and the result was encouraging.
3.1.2. Plans are well advanced for a course on lecturing methods and techniques for those officers required to address large groups of people and for Training and Methods officers.
3 .1 . 3. The application of Clerical Task Training continued in the Motor Registration Branch and was extended to a lesser degree in the Apprenticeship Commission. The Board's Training Section is maintaining liaison in both of these areas with the management consultants in the implementation of the technique.
INTERNAL TRAINING 3. 2. The following are particulars of the 52 central training courses conducted by the Board:- Induction Twelve Induction Courses of four days' duration and 19 courses of three days' duration were held and 534 trainees attended. The shorter courses were adopted in 1969 and followed a similar pattern to the earlier courses. Basic Administration .. The Basic Administration Course was reviewed during the past year and its length reduced from eight to seven days. The first three courses were of eight days' duration and the latter two of seven days. From the experience of the longer course in 1968 it was found possible to reduce the course in some areas by making better use of assignment time. Ninety-five officers attended. Supervision Three courses were conducted and 60 officers from the (Metropolitan Officers) metropolitan area drawn from the Administrative, Professional and Technical and General Divisions attended. Nine officers from organizations outside the Public Service also attended. Supervision One full-time course of a week was held for country officers (Country Officers) and was attended by 27 officers from six departments. Regional Officers The third course for 24 senior officers from regional areas (including 3 from other Government Instrumentalities) was held at Kalorama in July, 1968. The course was residential for ten days and covered matters of managerial concern. Management Conference The theme of the conference this year was " Effective Public Service Management-Present and Future". Twenty one officers from ministerial departments and three officers from Government Instrumentalities attended. Public Relations Three courses were held and 47 officers attended. Membership included inspectors in various categories, receptionists and telephonists. Staff Relations One course was held in April, 1969, of three days' duration. Membership was drawn from officers with responsibility for the direction of large staffs. Eighteen officers from ten departments attended. Conference Leading This year two courses were conducted. Membership was drawn from officers with responsibility for large staffs where joint consultation played an important role. Eighteen officers from 11 departments and one officer from a Government Instrumentality attended. 11
Follow-up Conferences Three one-day Follow-up Conferences were held for officers who had attended Supervision Courses and one for officers who had attended the previous year's Management Conference. Regional Study Groups During the year Regional Study Groups at Hamilton and Tatura undertook assignments on Public Relations and Techniques of Work Instruction. The co-operation and participation by Commonwealth Public Service officers continued. 3. 2. 1. During the year, approximately 85 departmental training projects were undertaken. (See Appendix "L ".) Some of these courses were conducted entirely by departments while others were conducted completely by the Training Section or with considerable assistance from the Section. A feature of departmental training has been the Training Section's involvement with Management Consultants in two departmental areas, namely the Apprenticeship Commission and Motor Registration Branch, and in the latter instance, this has necessitated the secondment of a training officer from the Board on a full-time basis. 3.2.2. The Section has continued to sponsor regular meetings of Training and Methods Officers from departments and interested government instrumentalities. EXTERNAL TRAINING 3. 3. The service again took advantage of training available at external organizations and officers attended the Australian Administrative Staff College, The Summer School of Business Administration at the University of Melbourne, The Civil Engineering Construction Management Course conducted by the University of New South Wales and courses conducted 0y other government bodies such as the Commonwealth Public Service Board. 3. 3. I. The number of officers studying courses at external institutions continued at a high rate. Five hundred and seventy-three study leave applications were approved for the 1969 academic year (552 for 1968). The number of officers undertaking university courses decreased by 23 from 251 to 228. This decrease was largely due to students completing courses, particularly Law and post-graduate studies. However, those studying Technical College coursts increased by 44 i.e. from 301 to 345. The increase occurred mainly in the fields of Business Studies, Engineering and Public Administration. In addition, officers of the Land Tax Office studying the Land Valuation Certificate Course were granted study leave for the first time because of the introduction of compulsory day-time lectures in some subjects. The number of officers doing the old Accountancy Course decreased substantially, as this Course is being replaced by the Diploma of Business Studies (Accounting) and is not to be continued after 1971. The total amount of study leave granted was 2,386 hours a week with pay and 992 hours a week without pay-a total of 3,378 hours. Although this figure is lower than the figure for 1968 (4,102 hours) more officers obtained leave in 1969 but in many cases required less time off per week. The following table shows the numbers of officers who were granted leave, either full-time or part-time, and the courses they were studying at Universities of Technical Colleges :- Uni~ersity Technical Colleges Architecture •• 3 Accountancy .. 43 Agricultural Science .. 6 Applied Biology 1 Arts .. 47 Applied Chemistry . . 5 Arts /Journalism 1 Articled Clerks .. 35 Arts /Social Studies .. 1 Architectural Draughting 5 Commerce . . .. 37 Architecture 8 Commerce /Social Studies 1 Art (Industrial Design) 1 Criminology .. 6 Building Construction 1 Economics .. 4 Business Studies (Accounting) . . 63 Economics and Politics 8 Business Studies (Data Processing) 4 Education 1 Cartography .. 1 Engineering .. 1 Chemical Engineering 1 Engineering (Agriculture) 1 Engineering .. 54 Law .. 37 Food Technology 1 Law (S.M.) .. .. 14 Geology 3 Law (Articles) 2 Interior Design 2 Public Administration 3 Land Surveying 5 Science 4 Medical Laboratory Technology 1 Science (Forestry) .. 22 Mining Engineering . . 1 Social Studies 17 Public Administration .. 45 Surveying 1 Quantity Surveying .. 1 Town and Regional Planning .. 2 Sewerage Installation Design Single Subjects 5 Shorthand .. 1 Post Graduate Studies 4 Survey Draughting .. . . 41 Valuation 21 228 345 12

13
3. 3. 3. It is pleasing to announce that, at the request of the Board, the Government has now increased the maximum number of Free Place awards each year from 20 to 30. At the beginning of 1969, 26 Free Places were awarded to officers of the Public Service studying at Melbourne, Monash and Latrobe Universities. Sixty-six officers are currently studying under Free Place awards. 4. STAFFING, CLASSIFICATION AND CLAIMS 4 .1. Claims submitted to the Board during the year by the three approved Associations (namely the Victorian Public Service Association, the Hospital Employees' Federation of Australasia and the Printing and Kindred Industries Union) totalled 41. Details of the claims are listed in Appendix " K " to this report which shows that 25 of the claims related to salary matters and 16 to requests for variations in allowances or conditions of employment. By way of comparison, during the year ended 30th June, 1968, 34 claims were received, with 20 seeking variations in salary rates and 14 relating to allowances and conditions of employment. 4.1.1. During the year the Board made decisions on 41 separate claims although not all of these claims had been received in the current year. Included in the claims that were the subject of Board decisions during the year were three major claims involving officers of all Divisions of the Public Service, as shown hereunder :- • A claim for salary increases for all officers of the Administrative Division which was received on 16th December, 1968. The Board determined salary increases for officers of the Administrative Division, excluding a small number in the higher classifications of Class "Al ", with effect from the 18th May, 1969. • A General Service claim for salary increases for officers of the Technical and General Division and related temporary employees received on 20th December, 1968. Since receipt of this claim the Board has made a number of decisions, effective from different dates, which have determined higher salaries for the great majority of the officers of the Technical and General Division. 13 • A claim for salary increases for officers of the Professional Division which was received on 24th December, 1968. Following receipt of this claim higher salaries were determined for a large number of officers in the Professional Division. Inv~stigations which involve, amongst other things, a review of any salary movements . m rela~ed professional groups outside the Victorian Public Service, are proceeding m relatiOn to Professional Division officers who have not yet been granted salary increases. 4 .1. 2. The Board made determinations on a number of claims for particular occupational groups in the Service in addition to its determinations on the three major claims. Occupational groups which were accorded salary increases as a result of Board determinations on separate claims for particular groups included the following :- • Inspectors of Works, Public Works Department. • Journalists and related offices in various departments. • Geologists, Mines and Water Supply Department. • Reporters, Chief Secretary's and Law Departments. • Therapists, Department of Health. • Veterinary Officers, Department of Agriculture. • Child Care and Youth Officers, Social Welfare Branch, Chief Secretary's Department. • Male Printing Staff, Government Printing Office, Treasury. • Storekeepers, Mental Hygiene Branch, Department of Health. In addition, salary increases ranging from approximately 2 per cent. to 16! per cent. of total salary were determined for the majority of officers in the Technical and General Division and related temporary employees. 4. 2. The Board, under its practice of keeping the salary rates of all occupational categories in the Public Service under constant review, gave consideration to relevant wage and salary variations in a number of areas of outside employment. In many instances, the Board considered these variations in outside rates against the background of an approved Association's overall claim that embraced the occupational groups concerned, while, in other instances, departmental submissions had also been received. The occupational groups which benefited from salary increases as a result of these reviews included the following :- • Health Inspectors, Department of Health • Assistants (Female) • Machinists • Stenographers • Typists • Draughtsmen • Interior Designers, Public Works Department • Agricultural Diplomate Officers • Valuers • Various industrial-type classifications in the Technical and General Division. 4. 2. 1. In regard to salaries for industrial-type classifications in the Public Service, the Board's practice of keeping these under review involves an examination of the rates concerned immediately following wage variations in the relevant Federal Award or State Wages Board Determination. 4.3. Following the decision of 19th June, 1969, of a joint bench of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission in the Equal Pay Cases 1969, announcing acceptance of the concept of " equal pay for equal work " without discrimination based on sex alone, the Board invited the approved Associations to specify those adult female classifications that, in the respective Associations' views, qualified for equal pay in terms of the nine principles enunciated in the above decision. These nine principles are set out in detail in para. 4. 3 .1. below. The adoption of the concept of equal pay by the Board will have immediate salary implications in the Victorian Public Service. The Board has to determine this matter before 1st October, 1969, the date set out in the decision of the full bench as the commencing date for the introduction of equal pay. The decision indicated that the implementation of equal pay should be spread over a period in accordance with the following scale of rates and dates of operation :- Date of Operation Amount of Female Rate to be : Beginning of first pay period to commence on or after- 1st October, 1969 85 per cent. of male rate at that date 1st January, 1970 90 per cent. of male rate at that date lst January, 1971 95 per cent. of male rate at that date 1st January, 1972 100 per cent. of male rate at that date. 14
4.3.1. The Board, in determining this matter, will give weight to all aspects of the decision in the Equal Pay Cases, including the proposal, as referred to above, that equal pay be introduced by progressive steps and the suggestion that nine principles be applied in dealing with claims for granting equal pay to particular classifications. These nine principles are- (1) the male and female employees concerned, who must be adults, should be working under the terms of the same determination or award ; (2) it should be established that certain work covered by the determination or award is performed by both males and females ; (3) the work performed by both the males and the females under such determination or award should be of the same or a like nature and of equal value, but mere similarity in name of male and female classifications may not be enough to establish that males and females do work of a like nature ; (4) for the purpose of determining whether the female employees are performing work of the same or a like nature and of equal value as the male employees, the Arbitrator or the Commissioner, as the case may be, should in addition to any other relevant matters, take into consideration whether the female employees are performing the same work or work of a like nature as male employees and doing the same range and volume of work as male employees and under the same conditions ; (5) consideration should be restricted to work performed under the determination or award concerned ; (6) in cases where males and females are doing work of the same or a like nature and of equal value, there may be no appropriate classifications for that work. In such a case, appropriate classifications should be established for the work which is performed by both males and females and rates of pay established for that work. The classifications should not be of a generic nature covering a wide variety of work ; (7) in considering whether males and females are performing work of the same or like nature and of equal value, consideration should not be restricted to the situation in one establishment but should extend to the general situation under the determination or award concerned, unless the award or determination applies to only one establishment ; (8) the expression of " equal value " should not be construed as meaning " of equal value to the employer" but as of equal value or at least of equal value from the point of view of wage or salary assessment ; (9) notwithstanding the above, equal pay should not be provided by application of the above principles where the work in question is essentially or usually performed by females but is work upon which male employees may also be employed. 4.4. An earlier decision of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission -the decision of 4th October, 1968 in the National Wage Case, 1968-awarded an increase of $1.35 to male and female adults with proportionate increases to juniors. A claim, based on this decision, was received from the Victorian Public Service Association and, following consideration of that claim, the Board determined, with effect from 3rd November, 1968, to increase the salaries of adult officers and employees by $71 a year, with proportionate salary increases for juniors. 4. 5. Under the "Exempt" Employees Service Grants Order in Council, 1969, and the "Exempt" Employees State Incremental Payments Scheme Order in Council, 1969, higher payments, which increased the maximum payments under these schemes by $1.10 per week, were determined for certain employees exempt from the provisions of the Public Service Act. Following these determinations, the Board gave consideration to the salary rates payable to related groups of officers and employees in the Service, and decided to increase the maximum of their salary ranges by an annual amount approximating to $1.10 per week. 4. 6. Investigations relating to departmental establishments and organizations were undertaken in respect of the following Departments and Branches :- • Receipt Duties Section, Stamp Duties Office, Treasury • State Insurance Offices, Chief Secretary's Department e Accounts Section, Social Welfare Branch, Chief Secretary's Department e Motor Registration Branch, Office of the Chief Commissioner of Police, Chief Secretary's Department. 15
The review of the administrative staff requirements of Teachers' Colleges, Department of Education, referred to in last year's report, was finalized.
An examination of a proposal to transfer the valuation and ancillary staff from the Taxation (Land Tax) Office, Treasury, to the Local Government Department, and to re-organize the Valuer-General's Office, which was commenced at an earlier date, was completed.
4. 7. The number of departmental submissions and individual applications referred to the Inspectorial Branch for attention during the year exceeded 1,400, and this represented an increase of approximately 8 per cent. over the total for the previous year. These submissions and applications related to matters such as classification, allowance, gratuity, establishment and organization.
4. 7. 1. Reference was made in the last annual report to the need for additional staff for investigation of staffing, classification and claims matters. During the year, the necessary approvals to create two additional offices were obtained and two additional Inspectors commenced duty in April. The increase in the number of Inspectors available for investigation work will assist the Board to deal more expeditiously with the many matters of importance to the administration of Departments.
5. ORGANIZATION AND METHODS 5 .1. The Organization and Methods Section continued to provide Departments with a service to improve their management practices and working methods. In providing this service the Section applied a wide range of management services techniques. The practice of working in close collaboration with departmental officers was maintained. Where management consultants have been engaged to assist Departments they have, in most cases, undertaken their reviews in conjunction with 0. & M. Inspectors.
5. 1 .1. For the performance of the Organization and Methods function the current establishment of the Section comprises thirteen officers. The one addition to the establishment during the year enabled the Section to employ a Technical officer to assist on Industrial and Production Engineering investigations.
5. 2. During the year the 0. & M. Inspectors, in conjunction with private management consultants, were engaged in the following reviews :- At the Motor Registration Branch, Office of the Chief Commissioner of Police, Chief Secretary's Department. • a firm of management consultants was engaged for 8 weeks to undertake a review, now completed, of the Data Processing Division involving various facets of data processing operations including machine usage and operator training. Significant benefits arising from the review included : operator training based on a technique known as Clerical Task Training ; work scheduling to obtain improved machine output on prime shift operation.
• a firm of management consultants was engaged for 18 months to undertake a clerical methods and work measurement review of all Divisions. This review is still in progress. Significant benefits arising from the review to date include : increased effectiveness of man-power through improved supervision at all levels, based on performance standards and periodical control reports that enable early recognition of problems and prompt corrective action ; development of supervisory skills and techniques by officers at various levels of management ; matching both the number of staff and staff structure to work volume and complexity on an hourly basis. Increased objectivity on staffing matters has resulted in a progressive reduction of staff at the Branch. 26 staff had been transferred out of the reviewed Divisions by the 30th June, 1969. It is anticipated that this number will exceed 100 during the coming year. reduction in overtime by approximately 60 per cent. 16 At the Public Works Department- • a firm of management consultants was engaged to undertake an organization review of the Department. Phase 1 of the review was concerned with the overall organization of the Department and recommendations contained in the Phase 1 Report relating to a major re·organization and an enlarged concept of the role of management at various levels are currently being examined and implemented on a progressive basis. The nature of this review does not permit early quantitative and qualitative assessment of benefits. 5 .2.1. In addition the 0. & M. Inspectors have been involved in a series of preliminary studies concerning proposed engagement of private management consultants- At the Law Department- following consideration of the preliminary studies at the Courts Branch, the Board approved the engagement of private management consultants to undertake an operations research review of the administration of circuits for Magistrates and Clerks of Courts. In this instance, the Board did not provide 0. & M. Inspectors for the Review Team or Steering Committee. At the Treasury Department- following consideration of the preliminary studies at the Government Printing Office, the Board approved the engagement of a firm of management consultants to undertake a major review of the Printing Office in conjunction with the 0. & M. Inspectors. The engagement has not yet been effected pending clarification of certain matters relating to the review. At the Motor Registration Branch, Chief Secretary's Department- consideration is being given to the engagement of management consultants to undertake an E.D.P. Systems design review in conjunction with the 0. & M. Inspectors. 5.2.2. The Board received requests from the following Departments for reviews involving management consultants- The Water Supply Department-<:oncerning water distribution. Initial discussions indicated a possible need to gain assistance from private management consultants versed in operation research techniques. The Board advised the Department that the 0. and M. Inspectors were unable, due to other commitments, to assist on the proposed review.

5. 7. A number of applications, which have been received from Departments requesting the assistance of the Board's 0. & M. Inspectors, have been deferred. The deferments of proposed reviews, due to a shortage of 0. & M. Inspectors, include the folJowing : • Chief Secretary's Department : Liquor Control Commission.

6. ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING 6. 1. Planning for the use of electronic computers for data processing for a wide range of departmental activities continued throughout the year. 6.2. A contract was entered into with International Computers (Australia) Pty. Ltd. for the supply and installation of an I.C.L. 1905E computer for the Board's E.D.P. Centre. Tenders for the supply and installation of a suitable computer system had been received from eight interested suppliers during the previous year. 6.2.1. In accordance with the contract, the computer was delivered in late June 1969, and the work of installation commenced immediately. 6.2.2. The computer is housed in the Board's E.D.P. Centre, located in Stage 2 of the New Public Offices, No. 1 Macarthur-street and consists of the following equipment :- • One 1905E Central Processor with 32,000, 24 bit words of core storage capable of multiprogramming and with a floating point unit. • Six magnetic tape units each with a transfer rate of 41,700 characters per second. • One exchangeable disc store unit capable of storing 8 million characters with a transfer rate of 208,000 characters per second. • Two high speed printers each with 160 print positions and each capable of printing 1,350 lines per minute. • One card reader reading 1,600 cards per minute. • One paper tape reader reading 1,000 characters per second. • One card punch, punching at the rate of 300 cards per minute. 6. 2. 3. The Public Service Board will be responsible for the initial operation of the computer and the Board's E.D.P. Centre has been established for this purpose. However, it is envisaged that, at some future date, the E.D.P. Centre will be transferred to another Branch of the Public Service. 6. 3. During the year the Policy Group, composed of the Chairman of the Public Service Board, the Director of Finance and the Auditor-General, met to review the order of priority appropriate for the several functions planned for conversion to computer processing throughout the Service. The Stamp Duties (Bulk Receipt Duty) and Teaching Service Payroll were considered to merit high priority, with early consideration to be given to the Registration of Motor Vehicles. 6. 4. The Education Department continues to use the computer of the State Savings Bank for some aspects of the preparation of the Teaching Service PayrolL While this activity continues, officers of the E.D.P. Centre and the Department are designing a system for the complete processing of the salaries payroll. 6.4.1. Work on systems design was suspended late in 1968 to enable an assessment to be made of the full effect on the processing requirements of the system of the issue of new Teaching Service (Classification, Salaries and Allowances) Regulations. Work on this design was resumed during May, 1969. 6. 5. In consultation with the Comptroller of Stamps, the design and programming of a system to maintain a file of persons electing to pay Stamp Duty on Bulk Receipts was commenced during the year. 19
6. 5 .I. The system produces electors' assessment forms for the appropriate period, issues acknowledgments for the receipt of payments and for the acceptance of new elections. It also issues reminders to electors and supplies statistics relating to Stamp Duty payments. 6.5.2. The first phase of the Stamp Duties' system became operative during June, 1969, when approximately 39,000 assessment forms were produced and issued to electors by the Stamp Duties Office. 6. 6. In conjunction with officers of the Motor Registration Branch, a detailed survey was conducted on the present system of Motor Vehicle Registration which, over the years, has been required to cope with the rapidly increasing number of vehicles on the roads. 6. 6 .1. A suggested computerized system of registration has been detailed in a report for the consideration of the Motor Registration Branch but further development of this system has been deferred until resources become available during next year. 6. 7. Additional systems investigation and design has been undertaken to assist departments interested in converting aspects of their work to E.D.P. including the following :- • Education Department-Further extension of stores records. • Forests Commission-Softwood Royalties.
6.8. During the year the Board established a Data Collection unit within the E.D.P. Centre. 6. 8 .1. The purpose of this unit is to provide a service to Departments that will enable the information contained within existing departmental files to be transferred to computer files. This transfer must take place in advance of the conversion of a system to computer processing. 6.9. To provide staff for the above unit, and for computer operations, systems analysis and programming, the Board appointed sixteen additional officers and employees to the E.D.P. Centre during the year. 7. ACCOMMODATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS 7 .1. During the year, significant advances were made towards attainment of the aim to provide improved standards of departmental accommodation. To this end, a major contribution was the submission of a report by the inter-departmental sub-committee on accommodation, comprising representatives of the Public Service Board, the Public Works Department and the Treasury, on the future of public office development in the city area. 7 .1. 1. The Government, following consideration of the Sub-committee's submissions and recommendations, approved the purchase of properties in Parliament-place and Cathedral-place for the express purpose of the long term development of the Treasury Reserve, for the future accomodation needs of the Public Service. 7. 2. Further substantial progress has been made towards the completion of Stage 11. of the new State Offices located at No. I Macarthur-street, Melbourne. The State Film Centre, the Public Service Board's Electronic Data Processing Centre and the State Audit Office, moved into this new building during the year. To complete the occupation of the Stage Il. building these occupants are to be followed by the Social Welfare Branch of the Chief Secretary's Department, the State Development Division of the Premier's Department and several branches of the Forests Commission organization. 7. 2. 1. Phase I. of the new Laboratories and Car Park Building, located at No. 5 Parliament-place, Melbourne, is nearing completion and the Chemical Branches of the Mines, Agriculture and Health Departments will occupy parts of this building early next year. 7. 3. The Taxation Office at 436 Lonsdale-street, formerly leased to the Commonwealth by the State, has been returned for the use of the State. The space therein has been allocated to the Treasury and the interior is to be remodelled to provide accommodation for the Land Tax, Probate Duties and Stamp Duties Offices. The transfer of the Stamp Duties Office from 283 Queen-street will enable relief to be given to accommodation pressures being experienced by the Titles Office. 7. 4. At 179 Queen-street, the vacation of space by the valuation staff of the Valuer-General's Office and by the Town and Country Planning Board, has allowed extra accommodation to be made available to the Housing Commission in order to meet its growing needs. This benefit to the Housing Commission derived directly from the decision during the year to purchase, for Public Office purposes, a new 11-storey air-conditioned office building situated at the corner of Queen and Lonsdale-streets. This office building is now occupied by the Town and Country Planning Board and the Valuer-General's Branch of the Local Government Department. 20
7. 5. Another large project now proceeding in the metropolitan area is the construction of the new Arthur Rylah Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in Stradbroke A venue, Heidelberg. The Technical and Research Groups of the Fisheries and Wildlife Branch of the Chief Secretary's Office will be accommodated in this Institute. 7. 6. Other accommodation needs of some importance considered by the inter-departmental sub-committee on accommodation during the year concerned the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs, Hospital and Charities Commission, Agriculture Department and Public Works Department. 7. 7. Continued and effective progress is also being made to improve the standard of accommodation in the State's country areas. 7. 7 .1. In March, 1969, a new office block was opened at Warragul. This building accommodates the local offices of the Departments of Agriculture, Crown Lands and Survey, Labour and Industry and Public Works, along with the local staffs of the Milk Board, Soil Conservation Authority, and the Apprenticeship, Liquor Control and Rural Finance and Settlement Commissions. In addition, the construction of a new multi-storey State Public Office Block at Horsham commenced, and documentation for the new Shepparton Public Offices is practically complete.
