Government Advertising

In reply to Ms PRATT (Frome) (5 July 2023). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised that for the Child Development Council:

As an open and transparent government, marketing communications activity reports and annual media expenditure details are proactively disclosed. The reports list all marketing campaigns over the cost of $50,000 and budgeted expenditure for approved campaigns and are disclosed on the DPC website: https://www.dpc.sa.gov.au/about-the-department/accountability/government-marketing-advertising-expenditure.

The Child Development Council spent $702 on an advertisement in The Advertiser newspaper in September 2022.

This expenditure was for a call by the Minister for Education, Training and Skills for expressions of interest in membership of the Child Development Council in accordance with the Minister's scheme approved under the Children and Young People (Oversight and Advocacy Bodies) Act 2016 (section 46 (3)).
