A further $5.5m across 33 contracts has descriptions too vague to classify with confidence, and is left out of the categories above.
In 2024-25 the entity reported paying $1.0m on consultancy contracts (cash, including GST). Contracts classified as consultancy come to $1.4m 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.
