Press Release Summary = Stellar Call Centres, one of Australia's leading call centre
outsourcing providers, today announced that the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC)
has appointed Stellar to establish the 70-seat Telephone Enquiry Services Centre to
support the 2006 Victorian State Election.

Press Release Body = The VEC chose Stellar Call Centres after a comprehensive tender
process. Important factors in the selection process included Stellar's demonstrated
experience managing sensitive Government projects, their proven ability to recruit,
train and manage Victorian-based agents and a strong geographical knowledge of the

applications and candidate handbooks.

The Telephone Enquiry Services Centre is a critical channel for engaging the
Victorian public in the election process, and is a highly visible component of the
Government's interactions with the public for the State election, which takes place
on the 25th November.

"Government departments face increasing pressure to satisfy customer demand with
quicker and more efficient customer services, while also reducing costs," said Steve

efficiency, quality levels and customer satisfaction through the combination of our
call centre and business process outsourcing solutions".
