The Department of Education received Chief Information Officer approval in September 2019 to procure five Fivecast software licenses for the Childcare Investigations team at a cost of $172,800 (GST included) covering a two-year period. The procurement was part of an "Integrity Measure Support" initiative and required CIO expenditure approval under PGPA section 23 guidelines. However, the department had not identified dedicated funding for this unbudgeted expense and planned to submit a competitive bid to secure the necessary allocation. The procurement documentation included CIO approval forms, a procurement plan, an ICT sourcing request form, and security overview materials, indicating the software was intended to support childcare compliance and integrity investigations.
