Senate Order 192 of 20 June 2001 (amended 27 September 2001, June 2003 and 4 December 2003) requires government agencies to publish at regular intervals a list of contracts to the value of $100,000 or more entered into during the previous 12 months. The list also includes contracts entered into in an earlier period that have not been fully performed (i.e. which are still current).
In response to the above mentioned Order, the SSAT publishes the following information on its website:
(i) any of its provisions; and
(ii) any other requirements of confidentiality; and
All of the Social Security Appeal Tribunal contracts contain the standard confidentiality and non-disclosure clauses of a general nature.
In the context of the Senate Order, 'contract' has been defined as including funding agreements.
The current contracts lists are for the 2010 calendar year. To ensure you have the latest version, please check this page regularly.

The SSAT has no funding agreements with any organisation above the value of $100,000.
The estimated cost of complying with the Senate Order in relation to the current list for the SSAT is approximately $1,000. This is based primarily on an estimate of staff hours spent at average hourly rates for data collection, liaison, analysis and management. This figure also includes general overhead costs.
