Staff numbers (EFT) has increased in the last 12 months. The increase over the period 13/14 to 17/18 shows the gradual increasing trend of staff numbers at South Gippsland Shire.

The significant drop from 17/18 to 18/19 was due to the Government enforced exit from Health and Community Services in all Shires. This reduced the requirements for staffing by around 20 and a savings in costs to ratepayers around $500,000 per year.
