Answer

I am advised that the Ministry for Ethnic Communities currently has two active contracts where the hourly rates exceed $200 per hour. This is for two part-time consultants who are supporting the establishment of a Leadership Council in support of the Harmony Accord signed by Jewish and Muslim community in July 2025. One contract commenced on 29/09/25 and the hourly rate is $250 per hour, and the second contract commenced on 22/01/26 and the hourly rate is $375 per hour.
