9705 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Police

9705 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Police: What contractor or consultant engagements, if any, are currently active across any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible, where the individual contractor or consultant is being paid at a rate exceeding $200 per hour, listed by department or entity, role or engagement description, daily or hourly rate, and contract start date?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I am advised by Police that two roles have been identified, however describing the engagement of the roles would likely reveal the identity of the contractors which I do not believe is in the public interest to release at this time. I am further advised that not all Police contracts are set by hourly rates. Police has a range of consultancy arrangements where fee proposals include reference to various resources that may be charged out a more than $200/hr. The Serious Fraud Office does not currently engage any individual contractors or consultants at a rate exceeding $200 per hour.
