In reply to Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (24 September 2018). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): I have been advised of the following:

(a) For the Attorney-General's Department (including the Public Trustee), 26.7 FTEs performed communication and promotion functions in 2017-18, costing $2.3 million.

(b)

Note:

The decrease in FTEs from 2017-18 is mainly due to the transfer of SafeWork SA to the Department of Treasury and Finance from 1 July 2018.

The above figures represent the estimated FTEs and expense associated with communication and promotion activities across the Attorney-General's Department. This includes communication, engagement, website, media and design functions across various business units including the Public Trustee and Consumer and Business Services.

(c) As an open and transparent Government, Marketing Communications Activity Reports and Annual Media Expenditure details are proactively disclosed. The Activity Reports list all marketing campaigns over the cost of $50,000 and are posted on a monthly basis.
