  • The cuts will target both award-grade staff and senior managers in back-office teams such as administration, technology and communications.
  • They follow a June directive to reduce 300 senior executive roles, more than 200 of which have already been removed.
  • Frontline service roles will be protected to ensure uninterrupted delivery of transport across New South Wales.
  • Transport for NSW plans to centralise support services under its ‘Evolving Transport’ efficiency drive and aims to complete the downsizing by December 2025.
