    Summary

    These are the third quarterly figures. Go-live date was 18 July 2022.

    The data refers to currently engaged workers (recorded with an 'engaged' status on the register).

    • 22 of 67 NGO agencies are Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations
    • 38 of 67 NGO agencies are accredited for Residential Care
    • NGO agencies manage 88% of all currently engaged workers
    • 34% of current engagements are staff sourced from Labour Hire agencies, across 29 agencies
    • 29% of current engagements (3,591 of 12,320) are Back Capture* entries
    • 7.7% of currently engaged individuals identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Of these, 28.1% (199 of 707) are engaged with ACCOs
    • 61.9% of currently engaged individuals identify as female, 37.7% as male, 0.4% as X
    • 17% of individual workers have multiple agency associations**, across 48 agencies

    * Back Capture engagements are those which had commenced prior to Register launch

    ** Multiple agency associations means the worker is engaged by more than one agency

    The data for each quarter is a point in time, reflecting the figures on the register as at the time the data was run for that quarter. The data is therefore not cumulative as such, as changes to records over time may impact the figures in previous quarters, if the data for those quarters was re-run at a future date.
