The Government Advertising and Insights Hub (the hub) was established on 24 February 2025. The FTE and budget associated with this function is not new resourcing and represents resources that transferred into the hub from prescribed agencies under machinery of government processes. This includes FTEs previously reported by DPC under Government Communications. There is no net increase to FTE or budget relating to the establishment of the hub.
