Expenditure details

Last updated

Expenditure is displayed detailed at the transaction level by parliamentarian office and category, except where IPEA reports aggregated costs.

The data is considered to be an accurate statement of expenses paid, invoices raised and repayments made by parliamentarians and staff. The data should be used in conjunction with the explanatory notes for current and former parliamentarians.

Expenditure reports for 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 are available under Expenditure reports 2021-2022.

The detailed expenditure data from 1 April 2017 onwards is published on data.gov.au - external site in CSV format for download.  From 1 January 2019 onwards, data.gov.au includes the adjustments, certifications, office costs and repayments datasets.
