Answer

All departments, agencies, crown entities and other bodies are expected to identify opportunities for savings, reprioritisation, and efficiencies as part of business-as-usual activities. The Budget 2026 invitation letters outline the specific savings initiatives that were invited for Budget 2026. These will be released as part of the Budget 2026 proactive release.
