Departmental contract listing

Twice a year the department publishes a list of contracts of a value $100,000 and greater.

Why we publish our contract list

To ensure compliance under the Senate Order 13(Opens in a new tab/window), the Department of Social Services is required to publish a list of contracts entered into with a total contract value of $100,000 or more (GST inclusive) and that:

  • have not been fully performed as at 30 June 2024, or
  • have been entered into between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024

Most contracts in this list contain confidentiality provisions of a general nature, designed to protect the confidential information obtained or generated in carrying out the contract.

General clauses protect:

  • trade secrets
  • proprietary information
  • Commonwealth material
  • personal information.

The accountable authority of the Department of Social Services has assured that the listed contracts do not contain any inappropriate confidentiality provisions.
