Senate Order on indexed lists of departmental and agency files

On 14 November 1994, the Senate agreed to a motion by Senator Brian Harradine requiring all Australian Government departments and agencies to produce an indexed list of files every six months for tabling before Parliament. The production of the list is intended to make the operations of government more transparent to the Australian public.

As part of the Government's ongoing commitment to give Australians greater access to relevant government information quickly and easily, the original Senate Order was amended in 1998 and now requires departments to also list these files on their websites.

The lists are tabled twice a year, once in the Spring sittings and once in the Autumn sittings.

Report for complying with the Senate Order for Entity Contracts

Old Parliament House (OPH) reports its procurement contracts on AusTender to comply with the requirements of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules.

A report of OPH’s reported contracts valued at $100,000 or greater, which were active* during the previous 12 month period, is compiled after the end of the calendar year and then again after the end of the financial year, to meet its Senate Order obligations.

Most of the contracts listed contain confidentiality provisions of a general nature that are designed to protect the confidential information of the parties that may be obtained or generated in carrying out the contract. The reasons for including such clauses include:

ordinary commercial prudence that requires protection of trade secrets, proprietary information and the like; and/or,
protection of other Commonwealth material and personal information.

OPH’s most recent report can be found On the MoAD website, www.moadoph.gov.au/about/corporate-documents under the heading ‘Report for complying with the Senate Order on Entity Contracts’.

The accountable authority of Old Parliament House has assured that the listed contracts do not contain any inappropriate confidentiality provisions.

OPH estimates the cost of complying with the Senate Order on Entity Contracts to be approximately $5000.
