The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts released employee birthplace data covering 2020-2024. The data shows total departmental employees grew from 1,863 in 2020 to 2,920 in 2024. Australian-born employees increased from 423 to 1,802 over the period, while foreign-born employees rose from 100 to 449. However, a significant portion of birthplace information remains unrecorded in HR systems, though this gap narrowed considerably from 1,340 (72% of 2020 workforce) to 669 (23% of 2024 workforce). The department was established on 3 February 2020, so no historical data prior to that date is available.
