Shared <strong>Service</strong> Initiative<br />
The Shared <strong>Service</strong> Initiative is a whole-of-Government<br />
approach to corporate service delivery. The vision<br />
is partnering in corporate services to support and<br />
connect government. Shared services are underpinned<br />
by standardising business processes, consolidating<br />
technology and pooling resources and expertise.<br />
Under the shared service model, government agencies<br />
joined together to share corporate services and<br />
resources through shared service providers (SSPs). The<br />
SSPs service their existing customer agencies through<br />
operating level agreements.<br />
From 21 September 2007, the Shared <strong>Service</strong> Agency<br />
(SSA) was transferred from <strong>Queensland</strong> Treasury to the<br />
Department of Public Works through a machinery of<br />
Government change. The SSA now services a number<br />
of departments, agencies and other entities across<br />
Government.<br />
The SSA provides a range of corporate services to the<br />
<strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Service</strong>. Some examples of the<br />
services provided include payroll, accounts payable<br />
and mail services. During 2007–08, the Department of<br />
Public Works hosted the SSA as a separate entity, and<br />
will report on its activities in its annual report.<br />
In 2007–08 <strong>Queensland</strong> Treasury led the refinement<br />
of the whole-of-Government model for shared service<br />
delivery and provided policy and program management<br />
for the Shared <strong>Service</strong> Initiative.<br />
