ABOUT 430 Queensland government IT jobs could go next financial year and the minister won't guarantee work will stay onshore.
The state government is divesting its technology services provider, Centre for Information Technology and Communications (CITEC), within two years as part of a cost cutting drive.
The government's Information Communications Technology deputy director-general, Andrew Spina, told a budget estimates hearing on Tuesday job losses were expected to be finalised after a review was handed down in two months time.
"If you look at the service delivery statement, we've identified a reduction of staff for next financial year, which represents a movement of corporate resources and a movement of resources from the chief technology office to a number of 430," he said.
"Depending on what the outcomes of that review are, we would obviously be considering what other options there would be and what would need to occur with staff overall."
Information Technology Minister Tim Mander said he expects the government's IT needs to increase over the coming years but more of this work will be done by the private sector.
"This is good news for people in the IT game, the government isn't going to shut up and stop using IT," he said.
However when pressed by the opposition, Mr Mander couldn't promise jobs wouldn't be outsourced overseas.
"The key things for me will be value for money for Queenslanders and support of our local industry," he said.
Former Federal Treasurer Peter Costello's audit of the state's finances recommends the government divest itself of CITEC.
His report said CITEC was due to record an operating deficit of around $26.4 million in 2011-12, with further deficits expected in the following years.
