As an Australian Government agency we must report the contracts we entered into valued at $100,000 or more that are active during the period of the report. We must produce two Senate Order reports each year: one that covers the financial year and the other that covers the calendar year. For older government contracts see Trove.
A Senate Order report gives some details of each contract, such as the provider, the subject matter, the value and duration of the contract. You can view it on www.tenders.gov.au.
