What communications, public relations, or reputation management contracts, if any, have been entered into by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, supplier, contract value, contract start date, and purpose?

Answer

I am advised that a targeted search of Corrections’ contract register – using contract titles, supplier names, and descriptions – did not identify any contracts explicitly titled or described as communications, public relations or reputation management. I am further advised that a more fulsome manual review of entire contract documents to determine specific contract scope would require substantial collation, something that I am not willing to ask of officials. Finally, it is considered that Corrections’ Recruitment Campaign and Sexual Harassment Campaign is within scope of the member’s request. For information relating to those campaigns, I refer the member to my responses to WPQ9920 (2026), WPQ 9945 (2025) and WPQ 13116 (2025).
