How much, if any, has been spent in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, on consultants who advise on public sector reform management or similar, since 27 November 2023?

Answer

I am advised that, since 27 November 2023, the Ministry for Women has contributed $50,000 towards external advice that may fall within the scope of public sector reform management or similar. This contribution relates to a design partner engaged to support an ongoing proof of concept focused on how existing public sector capability can be used more effectively. No decisions have been made about any future investment beyond this initial stage.
