In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (24 June 2025). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): I have been advised:

For business units under my responsibility within the Attorney-General's Department (including the Public Trustee):

The estimated total cost for the engagement of consultants in 2025-26 is $0.5 million.

The following is a summary of external consultants that have been engaged at a total estimated cost above $10,000, the nature of work undertaken, and the estimated cost for 2025-26.

Based on expenditure incurred in recent years, it is estimated that expenditure on contractors in 2025-26 will be approximately $5 million. A significant component of this estimated expenditure relates to specialised ICT/project contractors which reflects the need for specialised resources in this field.
