Australian Government agencies conducting information and advertising campaigns must comply with all relevant policies and processes issued and amended from time to time by the Special Minister of State, the Minister for Finance or the entity responsible for such policies, currently the Department of Finance. The requirements for review and certification of campaigns are determined by the value of the campaign and whether advertising will be undertaken.
As outlined in the Guidelines on Information and Advertising Campaigns by non-corporate Commonwealth entities, agency Chief Executives are required to certify that a campaign complies with the Guidelines and relevant government policies. The Chief Executive's certification statements are published online after the campaigns have launched.
