The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry disclosed financial records showing expenditure on Welcome to Country ceremonies and acknowledgements. In financial year 2022/23, the department recorded 19 invoices totalling $10,766.88, while 2023/24 saw 10 invoices totalling $7,304.00. The department noted it does not centrally administer these expenses; instead, individual cost centre managers and delegates independently engage suppliers according to departmental processes and policies. The accuracy of the financial data depends on how individual invoices were described in the financial and records management systems during the search process.
