The personnel domain includes ensuring new employees are eligible and suitable through appropriate pre-employment screening, existing employees remain suitable to access organisational information and resources, security concerns around employees are appropriately reported and appropriate practices are in place to minimise risk when employees leave the organisation.

Desired outcome

Each agency ensures its employees and all contractors are suitable to access South Australian Government resources and meet the required standards of honesty and integrity.

To support agencies to achieve this outcome, the South Australian Protective Security Framework includes three Personnel Security (PERSEC) policies, each comprised of one core requirement and varying number of supporting requirements. These requirements cover the duration of a person’s employment in the public sector, from recruitment to separation.
