On 20 June 2001, as amended on 1 March 2007, the Senate agreed to a motion by Senator Murray requiring all Australian Government departments and agencies to produce a list of all contracts (procurement and grants) which meet a certain criteria.
Further general information on the Senate Order can be found on the Department of Finance's website.
Commencing with the 2014-15 financial year report, non-corporate Commonwealth entities will use AusTender to satisfy the requirements of the senate order with respect to procurement contracts only. A listing of procurement contracts is available through the Senate Order link located on AusTender.
Details of the AEC's 'procurement contracts' are available through the Senate Order Report located on the AusTender website.
The table below sets out the AEC’s ‘non-procurement’ contracts for the reporting period.
