Workforce Planning

1.34  The DMO has a ten-year Workforce Plan for each project in the DCP. These plans provide current and projected workforce requirements (for both Australian Public Service and Australian Defence Force personnel) by project, skill set (job family), work level and geographical location for all existing and known future acquisition projects in the DCP and sustainment programs. The DMO undertakes a review of the Workforce Plan twice per year, and workforce allocations are adjusted for projects as required.

1.35  In parallel, the DMO is continuing with implementation of a strategic recruitment capability that incorporates university partnering and sponsorships. This includes improved DMO employment branding and more innovative recruitment strategies to meet future staffing requirements.
