Computer hackers have allegedly breached TAFE NSW's payroll system and stolen bank details of at least two dozen staff.
Around 30 employees have not been paid on time after having personal information stolen.
The organisation was working with the NSW Police Cyber Crime Unite to identify the source of the data breach and to ensure it does not happen again.
The attempt was discovered quickly and measures immediately put in place to stop fraudulent payments.
