I need to learn how to get these Government contracts.

Do you know the design firm/agency behind this redesign project?

Side note - This again shows, in consulting/agency work, always charge more than you think. If a government department is willing to pay $97M for a redesign, then surely independent consultants can charge way more then they usually do.

Patio11 right again.

Main contractor is Accenture Australia per this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-05/true-cost-of-bureau-o...

>The ABC understands the government awarded business management company Accenture Australia a $78 million contract to develop the new website's content management system (CMS).

I understand why Accenture would want to charge but I don't understand why their clients would want to pay. They seem very successful at this across countries.

I much preferred the old design but am getting used to the new one.

The rain radar changes were my biggest complaint, and I complained multiple times until they stopped asking.
