Defence admin centre opens
22 Jul 2008
Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Support, Dr Mike Kelly, has officially opened the Personnel Administration Centre (PAC) in Raymond Terrace NSW.Local firm Buildev Development NSW developed the facility which Defence will lease.
The PAC will pay around 21,000 service personnel, and will reduce long-term support costs to Defence by reducing the number of processing centres required from 45 in 2003 to just one major centre for processing of military pay and leave.
“The processing of military pay and leave entitlements is an area where Defence has been keen to improve its services, maximise the efficiencies and reduce its overall costs,” Dr Kelly said.
The centre will accommodate up to 150 Australian Public Service employees and to date 97 have already been recruited from outside Defence in the local area.
