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 />
