Consultants and Contractors

In reply to Ms WORTLEY (Torrens) (21 September 2018). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): The following information is provided on behalf of all ministers:

As required by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Circular PC013 – Annual Reporting Requirements for 2017-18 information relating to expenditure on consultants and contractors including the vendor, total cost of work undertaken and nature of work undertaken, will be detailed in annual reports published by agencies.

As detailed in the Treasurer's ministerial statement on 16 October 2018, the government is delivering on its election commitment for greater transparency and the 2017-18 annual reports will be a transition year as there are some pre-existing agreements with confidentiality obligations that the government is unable to provide in this reporting period.
