481 ex-public servants kept getting paid after leaving, and long-term contractors earned millions, revealing poor oversight in NSW.
An audit in New South Wales found that 481 former public servants continued receiving payments after leaving their jobs, including one person paid nearly $300,000 over three years.
The report also revealed prolonged use of contingent workers, some employed for up to 15 years, with 17 earning over $550,000 and 37 over $400,000 in the past year.
While some high pay was attributed to specialized skills, the findings highlighted weak oversight, inadequate record-keeping, and a need for stronger accountability.
Wages and employee costs are projected to rise to $56.2 billion by 2028–29, following the 2023 removal of the public sector wage cap.
