Defence Housing Australia’s (DHA) remuneration arrangements are unique because it is the only Government Business Enterprise (GBE) to employ its staff under the Public Service Act 1999 (Public Service Act). As such, DHA is required to disclose employee remuneration in multiple forms.
As DHA is a reporting entity under the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) any remuneration disclosure must be in accordance with obligations under the Privacy Act. DHA is unable to publish information, which constitutes personal information under the Privacy Act, without written prior consent from the individual (or individuals) concerned, whether they are named or would be otherwise reasonably identifiable.
GBE Guidelines
In accordance with Resource Management Guide No. 126: Commonwealth Government Business Enterprises – Governance and Oversight Guidelines (GBE Guidelines) published in August 2023, GBEs are expected to report all relevant information relating to the remuneration packages of individuals who constitute the executive management of the GBE in annual reports on a disaggregated basis using a specified template.
