Public Transport Requests, Suggestions and Complaints
The past four full financial years have seen an average of 171 contacts (complaints, requests and suggestions) relevant to the accessibility of public transport per year. Of these contacts, an average of 149 complaints were received by the Department each financial year. Complaints are categorised into areas such as public transport accessibility, driver behaviour, train, tram and bus accessibility and taxi access.
Complaints decreased in total by 43% between 2015/16 (n=177) and 2018/19 (n=124).
Staff profile
The Department has undertaken initiatives to improve workplace supports for people with disability and increase the number of people with disability in the workforce.
In 2019, 2% of the Department’s workforce was made up of people who declared a disability. Note that declaration is voluntary and this statistic does not necessarily reflect the total number of employees living with disability.
The percentage of employees with a declared disability employed in the South Australian Public Sector as at 30 June 2019 was 1.3%. Data reflecting the 2022-2023 period is expected to be available in June 2024.
