All Australian Governments are committed to the utilisation of the Government Information
Technology Contracting (GITC) Framework. The GITC Framework contains
standard contractual terms and conditions for use by governments (and sometimes Government Owned Corporations) in the acquisition of
Information Communication & Technology (ICT) products and services.

However in recent years 2 different GITC models have evolved: the Queensland Government endorses
GITC 5 whilst the Commonwealth, Victoria and WA Governments use GITC 4 (which is in plain english  and perceived as being more even handed between supplier and customer).
