The following should be noted in the interpretation of this data:

These figures reflect school-based staff only and do not include staff in office-based positions in the Education Support Office.

In many instances, staff members will leave their permanent role but continue to be employed in temporary or casual positions, particularly for staff transitioning to retirement. In these instances, they will be recorded as a permanent separation, despite continuing to work in the system.

Reporting of temporary or casual staff leaving the system is unreliable and has therefore not been included. This can be due to staff working in permanent, temporary or casual positions concurrently or switching between modes of employment. Because of this, a single employee can be recorded as ceasing as a temporary or casual employee, multiple times, within a reporting period despite continuing to be employed as a permanent employee.
