All Australian Government departments and agencies subject to the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 are required to place their advertising through the Central Advertising System. The Australian Government operates this system to:
- consolidate government advertising expenditure
- secure optimal media discounts and value-added benefits, and
- make sure that Australian Government departments and agencies do not compete against one another for media time and space.
More information about the Central Advertising System is available at www.finance.gov.au/Advertising/index.html
