A further $42m across 130 contracts has descriptions too vague to classify with confidence, and is left out of the categories above.

In 2024-25 the entity reported paying $837k on consultancy contracts (cash, including GST). Contracts classified as consultancy come to $1.1m 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.

Contract spending reported by the entity

What the entity reported in its annual reports, from the Transparency Portal: cash paid in each year, including GST. These are actual payments, unlike the AusTender contract values above. They are shown as published and are not used in any total on this site. reported
