The Department of Health released records documenting Indigenous Liaison Officer (ILO) positions within its People Branch from 2015 to May 2025. The disclosure includes staffing data showing the role evolved from Corporate Communications positions to positions focused on recruitment, entry-level programs, and inclusion initiatives. At least two full-time positions (EL1 and APS6 classifications) were designated as ILO or equivalent roles by 2022. Supporting workforce statistics show Indigenous employee headcount grew from 51 staff (1.9% of department) in 2014 to 165 staff (2.2%) as of mid-May 2025, with peak employment of 163 staff (2.7%) recorded in 2024. The data reflects the Department's Indigenous employment tracking and dedicated liaison functions within human resources operations.
