The description, date and value of these contracts (and any other government contract) can be seen here https://www.tenders.gov.au/?event=public...
FYI the total value of the seventy or so contracts is $25,987,604.21
It's likely that all together the contracts that relate to your request would be hundreds of pages (and be rejected as too big). Perhaps when asked to narrow your request, pick one contract from that list and ask for just that one? eg CN1555441 "Building construction & suppport & maintenance & repair services Nauru" https://www.tenders.gov.au/?event=public...
