Service Level Agreement WACA Reporting Service Context Reports about the Queensland Public Service (QPS) workforce are available from the Workforce Analysis and Comparison Application (WACA). These benchmarking reports compare the agency workforce with the QPS across a range of measures. In most cases, the measures are shown as a percentage to enable agencies to accurately benchmark their performance with the QPS. Agencies signed a 3 year Service level Agreement (SLA) to gain access to the system as named, licensed users. These SLAs expire 30 June 2014. This SLA covers the subsequent 3 year period, namely, 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017.

These licences are included in the service fee which is charged to agencies who wish to have access to the reporting service. The onus is on agencies to abide by the conditions of the licensing agreement which the PSC has with the software supplier.
