Outgoings may or may not be included in the Annual Rent amount. This will impact the ability to conduct a like for like comparison. The information on staff levels and locations was derived by merging data from the Defence human resources system and the internal Defence telephone directory. It is not possible to match the two systems exactly as each stores details in slightly different formats. (1) (g) The work undertaken by Defence covers a broad range of disciplines and job types, including administration, procurement, logistics, research and development, planning, training, information communications technology and engineering. Work performed will also include Service-specific trades and employment categories and the broad range of unit-specific work undertaken by soldiers, sailors and airmen/airwomen. A mix of these work types will be performed at most Defence sites. (2) (a) to (c) The majority of staff engaged in public affairs roles within the Department of Defence are located in the Communication and Media Branch and Strategic Communication Branch. As at 31 December 2011 the Communication and Media Branch employed 58 civilians, nine military personnel and four contractors. As at 31 December 2011 the Strategic Communication Branch employed 41 permanent military and 15 part-time military and five civilians.
