Section 311A of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 requires us to provide details of amounts paid for advertising and market research in our annual report.

In 2018–19, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) did not conduct any advertising campaigns or make any payments for polling, direct mail or campaign advertising.

The ACIC did not make any payments related to non-campaign advertising that were higher than the reporting threshold of $13,800.

A total of $16,850 (including GST) was paid to Andrews Group Pty Ltd to undertake the 2017–18 stakeholder-related survey.
