These reports describe Victorian Government media advertising, including campaign, functional and recruitment advertising. They report expenditure through the Master Agency Media Services (MAMS) arrangement. Advertiser totals can cover several example campaigns; a separate cost is not published for each example. Procurement commitments, production costs and individual departments’ annual-report disclosures have different scopes.

Published totals · 2024-25

Published-total reconciliation

20 comparisons of table components with the publisher’s own total: 16 exact and 4 within printed precision; 0 outside that bound. 42 published totals also match their source cells. OPAX calculates a half-unit bound from each printed cell’s precision; this is not a publisher rounding statement. No published amount is adjusted. Tables without a published total are not summed.
