Most of the cost is not shown by function

The Act requires the annual report to show the separate cost of the Commission's three operating parts: its own investigations (Part 6), oversight of police investigations (Part 7) and critical incident monitoring (Part 8). In 2024-25 these were $9,854,516, $2,107,045 and $771,260 (AR 2024-25 p 77). Together that is about 46 per cent of total expenses of $27.8 million. The rest is not attributed to any part. The Act requires only these three figures, so the Commission complies; the result is that the cost of most of its work is not shown by function.
