The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

The DMO workforce is attributed based on the primary role of employees; that is the delivery of acquisition and sustainment of capability products to Defence and their associated support; and the delivery of policy advice and management services.

A breakdown by military staff, public service staff and contractors across the years 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 (parts a-d) is provided in the Table below.
