The Department of Finance spent $2,997.05 (GST inclusive) on an all-staff end-of-year celebration in December 2025, comprising light catering without alcohol to recognise staff contributions. The Corporate Engagement section within the Communications Branch of the Corporate Division sourced and procured all costs. No formal departmental policy on end-of-year celebrations was referenced in the disclosure. The expenditure represents a modest, controlled approach to staff recognition with no apparent governance concerns or probity issues identified.
