Data Collection
Page | Updated: 30 October 2018
VPSC plays an important role collecting data about, and reporting on, the composition of the public sector in Victoria.
To do this we rely on a range of periodic data collections:
- the Workforce Data collection
- the Executive Data collection (for executives employed under Part 3 of the Public Administration Act 2004)
- the Public Entity Executive Remuneration Survey (PEERS, formerly GSERP)
- the Progression Data collection
- the People Matter Survey
Survey name change from GSERP to PEERS
The Government Sector Executive Remuneration Panel (GSERP) survey is now the Public Entity Executive Remuneration Survey (PEERS).
This change reflects the transfer of the VPSC’s GSERP responsibilities to the Office of Public Sector Executive Remuneration (OPSER) in late 2018.
Consistent with its role and functions, the VPSC will continue to collect executive remuneration data to support OPSER and Departments and to monitor and provide advice on public sector employment.
