The Department of Industry, Science and Resources released employment statistics showing place of birth data for departmental staff from 2019 to 2024. Data for 2015–2016 could not be provided due to formatting constraints and resource limitations. From 2019 onwards, the department recorded Australian-born employees, overseas-born employees, and those with unavailable information. Total departmental headcount grew from 2,737 in 2019 to 3,770 in 2024, with Australian-born staff consistently comprising approximately 65–70% of the workforce and overseas-born staff around 15–23%. Employee provision of place of birth data in the human resources management system remained optional, resulting in varying proportions of missing information across years (ranging from 9% to 24% of total staff).
