The average cost is obtained by dividing the total cost for the function (including Corporate Service overheads) by the number of responses provided on the Premier’s behalf to letters, calls to the Community Access line and questions to the Premier during radio talkback sessions. The average cost makes no allowance for variations in the scope, magnitude and complexity of individual responses.
