Government Information and Advertising Campaigns

The Government has introduced new Guidelines on Information and Advertising Campaigns by Australian Government Departments and Agencies. The Auditor-General has agreed to provide a report to the relevant Minister on compliance by departments and agencies with the Guidelines for proposed campaigns with expenditure in excess of $250,000. A Minister may also ask the Auditor-General to provide a report on campaigns valued at less than $250,000 or which are sensitive in nature.

Background information on the review process, along with more detailed advice to assist departments and agencies, is available below.

ANAO reports issued on information and advertising campaigns are listed below.
