Commonwealth legal services expenditure

Australian Government agencies require legal services for a range of different reasons.

Most Commonwealth agencies must report to the Office of Legal Services Coordination (OLSC) about their legal services expenditure within 60 days after the end of the financial year.

Agencies must submit expenditure reports using the template that OLSC provides to all agencies at the start of each financial year. If you have not received this template, contact OLSC at LSER@ag.gov.au.

This information is compiled into annual reports on Commonwealth legal services expenditure.
