Names over time

What each source called this agency, and in which years. Taken from the sources themselves, not from a register of establishment dates — those are not published.

⚠️ This agency has not always carried its current name. Figures in the earlier years were reported as Administrative Appeals Tribunal (2010-11 to 2023-24). They are shown here because the series is continuous, not because the agency is.

Payments to organisations — as reported by the agency

Largest recipients across all reported years

From the expenditure disclosures in each annual report — a separate source from the AusTender contract figures above, and not directly comparable with them.

Workforce profile — as at 2025-12-31

APSC APS Employment Data, counting this agency including any bodies beneath it. Headcount, not FTE — the APSED release does not publish FTE.

Year by year

An empty cell means no publishable row for that year — unknown, not nil. Never read a blank as a fall to zero. ⚠️ This agency has not always carried its current name. Figures in the earlier years were reported as Administrative Appeals Tribunal (2010-11 to 2023-24). They are shown here because the series is continuous, not because the agency is. 12 value(s) for this agency are withheld as implausible against its own median — see Outputs/agency_year_series.csv for them and why.

Sources — annual reports

Each link opens transparency.gov.au — the published source the figures were read from. The label names the table to look for.

° The portal does not publish a path for this report, so the link opens the agency's reports on transparency.gov.au rather than that year directly. Pick the year from there.
