Reporting requirements for Victorian Government advertising

Each year, Victorian Government departments and public bodies publish information within their annual reports about their expenditure on major advertising campaigns, in accordance with the relevant Financial Reporting Direction.[1]

For 2018–19, this means departments and public bodies must report the following details for each advertising campaign with a total advertising buy of $100,000 or greater (exclusive of GST):

  • the name of the advertising campaign
  • the start and end date of the campaign
  • a campaign summary
  • details of campaign expenditure for the reporting period (exclusive of GST).

[1] For 2018–19, the relevant Financial Reporting Direction was FRD 22H Standard disclosures in the Report of Operations (May 2017).
