Invoices For Purchase Of AI Software

The Department of Finance released invoices documenting individual purchases of AI software subscriptions rather than centralized Commonwealth procurement records. Three receipts show monthly ChatGPT Plus subscriptions ($22 AUD including GST each) charged to an individual, Sarah M Henderson, in October and November 2024. An Apple App Store invoice from November 2024 is included but details are largely redacted. A fourth OpenAI invoice dated December 2024 is incomplete in the disclosure. The documents reveal ad-hoc commercial software purchases by a department employee rather than bulk licensing agreements or whole-of-government AI procurement arrangements. No governance framework, authorization documentation, or contract management records accompany these transactions, raising potential questions about procurement probity and whether such purchases align with Finance's administrative guidelines for software acquisition.
