Tuesday 11 August 2020 - Update on corporate functions consultation

Thank you to everyone who participated in the recent consultation to include corporate functions from Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink in the Evolving Transport design process.

Through the consultation we received over 700 pieces of feedback that ranged from:

  • Support for a more integrated service delivery model for corporate functions across Sydney Trains, NSW Trainlink, and Transport for NSW
  • Concerns relating to particular functions like safety and risk, effectiveness of a centralised model, and the ability to support the business
  • Questions around employee benefits and entitlements if a new operating model is implemented

After considering all your feedback, the following functions will be included in the Evolving Transport organisational design process:

Sydney Trains

NSW TrainLink

All functions in People & Corporate Affairs

All functions in Finance & Business Services

Selected functions in Safety, Environment, Quality & Risk (SEQR):

o Human Factors

o Health Services & Chief Health Officer

o Environment (including Heritage)

o Safety Culture Programs

All functions in People & Change

All functions in Communications

Selected functions in Safety, Environment, Quality & Risk (SEQR):

o Human Factors

o Environment


All other SEQR functions not included above will be reviewed internally within NSW TrainLink and Sydney Trains.

Through the Evolving Transport organisational design process we will take a more detailed look at how corporate functions should be delivered and where functions should sit across Transport, Sydney Trains, and NSW TrainLink. It is important to note that participation in this design process does not automatically mean that teams will be moved into Transport for NSW.

More detailed information about the design process will be shared with the relevant teams. While the design process is underway, service delivery continues as normal for all corporate functions.
