Australia’s agriculture department spent $29.9M on travel in 2025, but most domestic trips lacked proper approval records.
A government audit found that only 43% of domestic travel trips in Australia’s Department of Agriculture had proper approval records, and 58% lacked required travel requests, despite $29.9 million spent on travel in 2025.
The department cited structural changes and outdated systems as contributing factors, including a shift in travel providers and decentralized approvals.
One broad approval was found non-compliant with public governance laws.
While documentation was lacking, all trips met value-for-money standards, and all 38 international trips were fully documented.
The department is implementing new technology, training, and updated regulations to fix the issues.
