Departmental contract listing

Twice a year we publish a list of contracts of a value $100,000 and greater.

Why we publish our contract list

Under the Senate Order 13(Opens external website) we are 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 1 June 2025, or
  • have been entered into between 1 July 2024 and 30 July 2025.

Most contracts in this list contain general confidentiality provisions. These are 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.
