This FOI release is a May 2026 final Recommendations Report from consultancy bendelta on the Communication and Media Branch (CMB) of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, produced under the Strategic Alignment Review. It describes the branch's current structure: a centralised model combining business partnering aligned to departmental groups with specialist teams covering media, corporate communication, social media, web, design and events. It also covers leadership roles, a workforce chart as at 1 March 2026, and comparative and thematic analyses. Most slide content is withheld under section 47E(d) of the FOI Act, which relates to an adverse effect on agency operations, so the recommendations and analytical findings are largely not visible. No commodities, pests, diseases, biosecurity incidents, or trade or regulatory decisions are referred to, and no quantified funding or compliance figures are disclosed.
