Professional services by kind of work
Contracts active in 2026-27 that AusTender files under “management and business professionals”, sorted by an AI model reading each contract’s description. AI-classified estimate: annualised
A further $36k across 1 contract has descriptions too vague to classify with confidence, and is left out of the categories above.
In 2024-25 the entity reported paying $256k on consultancy contracts (cash, including GST). Contracts classified as consultancy come to $537k for that year (AusTender values spread over each contract’s term). The two are measured differently, so they are not expected to match. How we classify.
