Answer

I am advised that the total budget allocated for the enrolment strategy includes costs relating to ICT changes in enrolment system, community engagement costs, targeted advertising, and increased customer enquiries budget to support public enquiries. To cover all aspects of implementing this strategy, the Commission has budgeted $4.2m.
