Expenditure
Most of Wikimedia Australia’s work and expenditure in 2024-25 centred on events and partnerships including a successful WikiCon in November 2024.
Operations
Over 2024-25 our operations have grown to help support our expanding work plan. We now have 3 staff that have allowed greater impact and reach for our organisation. We acknowledge also that we have been served well by KeyAdmin for accounting support and management of payroll and associated taxation processes. In addition to expenses against the grants there are ongoing operational costs in keeping the association well-managed, including bank fees, software and subscriptions, insurance, and communications.
Concluding remarks
I’d like to thank the wonderful Wikimedia Australia staff, especially Belinda who has helped on the financials throughout the year (and to Alice and Ali who have stepped in where needed). And also a thank you to the board and president Elliot. Also a big shout out to Pru for always being available to help.
