Review Reports by the Independent Communications Committee on Government Advertising Campaigns
The Independent Communications Committee (ICC) has been appointed to provide advice to Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) agencies in relation to proposed advertising campaigns valued at more than $250,000.
This committee is comprised of Dr Allan Hawke AC, Ms Helen Williams AO and Ms Anthea Tinney PSM.
Advertising campaigns with expenditure in excess of $250,000 are considered by the ICC which provides a report to the responsible agency Chief Executive on compliance with key aspects of the Guidelines on Information and Advertising Campaigns by Australian Government Departments and Agencies (March 2010) (Guidelines).
Agency Chief Executives must receive and consider the ICC’s report on compliance before they can certify that a campaign complies with the Guidelines.
The ICC is supported by a Secretariat within the Department of Finance and Deregulation.
