Definitions

Agency An agency is an administrative unit created under the Public Sector Act 2009 or a statutory authority that is accountable for the delivery of programs on behalf of the government.

Programs and sub-programs A program is a group of related activities that contribute to achieving one of an agency’s and, in turn, the government’s objectives. Many programs are further divided into sub-programs with more specific objectives.

Overview

The agency statements outline projected agency activity and performance for 2018–19. Each agency statement conforms to the following standard presentation structure:

• Objective — outlines the agency’s objectives

• Ministerial responsibilities — identifies the minister responsible for each program/sub-programand identifies any items administered by the agency on behalf of the minister(s)

• Ministerial office resources — details the resources provided to ministerial office(s)

• Workforce summary — summarises the agency’s workforce

• Program net cost of services summary — summarises the net cost of agency programs

• Key agency outputs — summarises services provided

• Investing expenditure summary — summarises investing expenditure for the agency

• Program/sub-program information — for each agency program/sub-program, provides adescription/objective, program summary (expenses, income and full-time equivalents), financialcommentary, highlights and targets, performance and activity indicators

• Financial statements — budgeted financial statements for controlled and administered items

• Summary of major variations — commentary on variances and trends in the financial statements.

Presentation of changes in program structures

Where a program or function is transferred between agencies, program information for previous years is reflected in the current program structure of the receiving agency.

In contrast, the agency financial statements line net cost of providing services in the statement of comprehensive income is based on the actual program structure for the agency as it operated or is expected to operate in each year. This distinction in treatment is drawn so that financial statements accurately reflect events while, at the same time, program information is comparable and not duplicated.

Reconciliation of the financial statements to the current program structure is contained in the program net cost of services summary located at the beginning of each relevant agency section.

Introduction


Financial statements

The estimated financial statements included in the 2018−19 Agency Statements are special purpose financial statements and include, for each agency, a statement of comprehensive income, a statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared:

• on a basis that is consistent with Australian Accounting Standards (Australian Accounting Standards and/or interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted early)

• on an accrual basis, except for the statement of cash flows which has been derived from the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position to reflect cash payments and receipts

• using historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities that are valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, estimated transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to estimated transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Education


Key agency outputs

• Support for families and young children (particularly the vulnerable and at-risk) through the provision of health, wellbeing, and care services across the state, delivered through a network of children’s centres and preschools.

• Provide primary and secondary public education to all children and young people of school age across the state and deliver on the government’s priorities, including improving literacy and numeracy outcomes, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), languages and entrepreneurial education.

• Assistance and pathways for young people to receive relevant Vocational Education and Training (VET) to access nationally-accredited qualifications that can also be recognised within the SACE. In so doing, these provide effective pathways for students to higher and further education, traineeships, apprenticeships and employment.

Education


Program 1: Early Childhood Development

Description/objective

The department is responsible for delivering early childhood education, care, health and wellbeing services for children, and their families. The department recognises the importance of parents’ roles in their child’s development and provides a combination of universal services and targeted interventions to achieve improved outcomes. A key objective of early childhood development programs is to ensure that the most vulnerable children are supported.

The provision of high quality early childhood education, multidisciplinary interventions and targeted family support programs provide a strong basis to support each child to reach their potential.

Highlights 2017–18

• A revised National Quality Standard (NQS) implemented from 1 February 2018, clarifies how quality is rated at an early childhood education and care service. As at 30 June 2018, of the 88 per cent of department preschools assessed, 92 per cent of these met or exceeded the NQS with over 78 per cent exceeding the NQS, compared with 59 per cent nationally.

• Four Department for Education preschools are rated excellent under the NQS, the highest possible recognition.

• Child Family Assessment and Referral Networks are operational in the south, north and west of metropolitan Adelaide, outreaching to 17 children’s centres as part of a ‘hub and spoke’ model.

• New Children’s Centres opened at Renown Park and Pennington and the expansion of facilities at Keithcot Farm.

Targets 2018–19

• Open two further children’s centres at Mount Barker and Roxby Downs.

• Partner with non-government organisations to deliver evidence-based literacy and numeracy programs targeted at disadvantaged children before they start school.

• Implement the child safe environments provisions of the new child protection legislation, the Children and Young People (Safety) Act 2017.

• Strengthening teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy in every preschool using the Indicators of Preschool Literacy and Numeracy.

• Expanding the impact of the Aboriginal Reading Project for all Aboriginal children in preschools across the state.

Explanation of significant movements

The increase in expenses in the 2018–19 Budget compared to the 2017–18 Estimated Result includes:

• the impact of deferred expenditure for various programs including Universal Access to Early Childhood Education National Partnership

• higher employee related benefits including the 2016 South Australian School and Preschool Education Staff Enterprise Agreement.

The decrease in expenses between the 2017–18 Estimated Result compared to the 2016–17 Actual includes the transfer of provider payments in respect of the Family Day Care program to administered items offset by higher employee related expenses and expenditure funded by Commonwealth Government revenue.

The decrease in income between the 2017–18 Estimated Result compared to the 2016–17 Actual primarily relates to the transfer of provider payments in respect of the Family Day Care program to administered items.

Program 2: School Education


The department is responsible for delivering high quality primary and secondary public education to enable children and young people to achieve their best and to equip them with skills and capabilities they will need throughout their lives.

The department maintains high expectations of leaders, principals and teachers to improve student performance. It drives outcomes by providing evidence-based support and advice focussing on learning, school improvement, instructional leadership, system support and effective accountability. These will be enhanced and progressed within the School Improvement Model, which aims to provide differentiated and tailored strategies to assist schools at all levels of performance.

Actively engaging local communities and parents in their child’s learning enhances educational outcomes and increases the impact of learning that occurs within schools.


• Systemwide approaches to literacy and numeracy were implemented including the publication of 11 Best Advice papers to provide leaders with accessible and timely information, advice and research to support decision making, and the successful trial of the UK Phonics Screening Check, to assess the phonics skills of Year 1 students.

• The statewide STEM Learning Strategy was launched which focussed on engaging students from preschool to year 12 and building expertise in teaching and learning, to develop systematic excellence in STEM education.

• A broad suite of measures was announced to reinvigorate the teaching of languages, including increased and targeted professional learning opportunities for teachers.

• The Learning Design, Assessment and Moderation Strategy was launched to develop educators’ capability to design better learning programs as well as build consistency of professional judgement on student learning.

• Additional Local Education Teams were established with 30 portfolios across the state to provide strengthened, direct support to schools and preschools.

Targets 2018–19

• Provide all schools with an implementation framework for school improvement planning based on global and local best practice along with supporting structures such as clear roles and responsibilities, accountability, reporting and school planning templates.

• Implement statewide literacy and numeracy improvement processes including:

– a Literacy Guarantee Unit to help improve teaching practices for students with dyslexia and other learning difficulties

– implementing the Phonics Screening Check initiative for all Year 1 students

– phased implementation of the Brightpath writing assessment and reporting tool

– developing differentiated, evidence-based advice and resources to help educators improve numeracy achievement.

• The department will be investing to improve internet connectivity in government schools, regardless of location, to enable schools to meet modern education requirements. The ambition is that non-government schools will be able to leverage off these arrangements where possible.

Education


• Establish entrepreneurial specialist programs in four schools to strengthen approaches to entrepreneurial skills and attitudes.

• Continue planning for the transition of Year 7 into high school by 2022.

• Progress a strategy on language education to reinvigorate the teaching and study of languages in South Australian schools.

• Progress a strategy, in partnership with the Department for Industry and Skills, to encourage flexible apprenticeship pathways enabling more young people to be learning and earning at the same time.

Summary of major variations

Statement of comprehensive income — controlled

Expenses

Major variances between 2018–19 Budget and 2017–18 Estimated Result

• the impact of deferred school related expenditure and Commonwealth programs ($44.5 million).

Major variances between 2017–18 Estimated Result and 2017–18 Budget

The $8.5 million decrease in expenses is primarily due to the transfer of provider payments in respect of the Family Day Care program and Children and Young People advocacy bodies to administered items ($24.1 million) and the impact of deferred expenditure ($14.9 million).

Expenses


The $11.4 million decrease is primarily due to:

• conduct of the state election in 2017–18 ($16.6 million)

partially offset by

• conduct of local government periodic elections in 2018–19 ($4.8 million).


The $3.8 million increase is primarily due to additional costs incurred to conduct the 2018 State Election, in particular:

• amendments to the Legislative Council voting system ($1.6 million)

• increase in volumes and cost of conducting pre-poll voting and vote scrutiny and counting activities ($1.4 million)

• increase in postage costs paid to Australia Post ($0.7 million).


The $16.6 million increase is primarily due to the conduct of the state election in 2017–18.

Income


The $5.2 million increase is primarily due to:

• conduct of local government periodic elections in 2018–19 ($4.8 million)

• office renovation asset received free of charge (contributed asset) from DPTI ($0.5 million).



The increase in total assets is primarily due to leasehold improvements which will be funded by a lease incentive and a contributed asset from DPTI ($1.1 million).


The movements in cash outflows and inflows are generally consistent with the changes described above in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position.





The $6.1 million decrease in expenses is primarily due to the reimbursement of registered political parties and independent candidates for election campaign expenditure in June 2018 as part of the public election funding scheme for the 2018 State Election.



• reimbursement of registered political parties and independent candidates for election campaign expenditure in June 2018 ($6.1 million)

• increases in the amounts paid to qualifying political parties and candidates for special assistance funding claims ($0.4 million).



• the re-imbursement of registered political parties and independent candidates for election campaign expenditure in June 2018 ($6.1 million)

• increase in the amounts paid to qualifying political parties and candidates for special assistance funding claime ($0.8 million).




The movements in cash outflows and inflows are generally consistent with the changes described above in the statement of comprehensive income.

Program 1: Country Fire Service


The South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) delivers a comprehensive range of fire and rescue services to the community. Our volunteers, supported by a small team of dedicated staff, protect the community by combating bushfires, responding to fires in houses and buildings, rescuing people from car crashes mostly involving high speed collisions and rollovers, isolating, containing and neutralising dangerous chemicals that have been spilt, and in times of need, providing services to the community by assisting other agencies.

CFS engages with the community to increase people’s understanding of the risks they face from bushfire and how they can prepare for bushfire events.

When incidents occur, CFS provides information to keep the community informed of the locations and dangers involved.

CFS works with the community, industry, other agencies and local government to identify risks, reduce risks and control hazards.

CFS has strong representation in the community across South Australia. This is achieved through our volunteers, including our cadets, who are committed to protecting their communities. CFS has brigades operating across the state with a large fleet of fire trucks. Local brigades contribute to out of area deployments to assist neighbouring communities, communities elsewhere in the state, and interstate where required.

CFS has a strong focus on frontline service delivery to the community.

With a vision of ‘a trusted and effective community based fire and emergency service’, the CFS mission is ‘an integrated and trusted fire and emergency service, contributing to safer and more resilient communities — today, tomorrow and for the future’.

Expenses


The $4.3 million increase is primarily due to an increase in NDRP grants in 2018–19 ($3.5 million).


The $2.8 million decrease is primarily due to lower NDRP grants as a result of a carryover of NDRP grants to 2018–19.


The $2.5 million increase is primarily due to additional expenditure for the NDRP in 2017–18 ($2.2 million).

Income


The $1.5 million decrease in income is primarily due to reduced Commonwealth funding for the NDRP ($1.0 million).





• additional funding for the NDRP in 2017–18 ($1.0 million)

• additional funding for replacement of a training and volunteer personnel management system for the sector in 2017–18 ($1.1 million)

The $2.3 million increase in income is primarily due to increased emergency services levy receipts in 2017–18.



The $3.3 million decrease in total assets is primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to partially support 2018–19 expenditure.


The $5.2 million increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents due to the collection of some 2016–17 emergency services levy amounts in 2017–18.

The decrease in the 2018–19 budgeted expenses and income compared to the 2017–18 Estimated Result is primarily due to the completion of Phase 1 of the Commonwealth Government funded National Landcare Program on behalf of the Natural Resources Management Boards, pending signed agreements for additional National Landcare Program phase 2 funding, which will commence in 2018–19.



The increase in the 2017–18 Estimated Result for expenses and income compared with the 2017–18 Budget is primarily due to an increase in funding for a number of projects relating to ecological restoration, rangeland works and information/spatial analysis support.

The decrease in the 2017–18 Estimated Result for expenses compared to the 2016–17 Actual is primarily due to the cessation of the intra-government budget charging model for shared services to government agencies.

Sub-program 2.1: Water Resource Management


Ensure that South Australia has water for its environment, its communities and its economy.


• Adelaide’s performance as a water sensitive city was rated and scored highly in a number of areas and was recognised for its vision and innovation in diversifying water supply to include stormwater harvesting.

• Facilitated the formation of the Rajasthan Centre of Excellence in Water Resources Management in Jaipur, India, in collaboration with the International Centre of Excellence in Water Resource Management, as a foundation for ongoing cooperation and a market entry point for South Australian expertise in groundwater, water quality improvement and monitoring.

• Supported the Natural Resources Management (NRM) Boards in developing or amending water allocation plans for the River Murray Prescribed Watercourse, the Adelaide Plains Prescribed Wells Area, the Barossa Prescribed Water Resources Area, the Far North Prescribed Wells Area and the Tatiara Prescribed Wells Area. The NRM Boards were also supported to develop water affecting activity policies in the South East, and Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Plans.

• Successful court action was taken against four water management instrument holders including one count of interfering with a meter, a second for unauthorised take of water and two well drillers for breaching their well drillers licence. Additionally, in 2017–18 DEW issued 94 penalties across the state for excess water used in 2016–17.

• Issued 2828 well construction permits in support of dryland farming, irrigation, manufacturing, petroleum and mining sectors.

Targets 2018–19

• Undertake a review of the science underpinning South East water allocation reductions.

• Review the Flows for the Future program to secure low flows in the Eastern Mt Lofty Ranges to identify potential improvements.

• Secure Commonwealth Government funding to enable building a new state water register to enable improved trade processing capability for licence holders, including more efficient interstate trade, and enhance customer and register services including the capacity for licensees to use their water licence as financial security.

• Complete a review of the Water Industry Act 2012 to identify the success of the Act in the first five years of its implementation and any opportunities to further the objectives of the Act.

Accounting standards

The financial statements included in the 2018–19 Agency Statements are special purpose financial statements.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with:

• Australian Accounting Standards, except where these notes indicate otherwise

• accounting policies expected to be used in preparing historically orientated general purposefinancial statements for that year, and the same accounting policies have been used for thesubsequent forecast years (forward estimates).

Reporting entities

The financial statements include all estimated assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of individual agencies.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, estimated transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to estimated transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Activities that are ‘controlled’ are those where the agency delivers services and governs the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from these activities and assets in the pursuit of its objectives.

Generally, activities that are ‘administered’ are those where the agency provides a service or function on behalf of the Minister and is unable to use the resources for the furtherance of its own objectives.

Basis of accounting and measurement

The estimated financial statements include a statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of the estimated financial statements whereby estimated assets, liabilities, equity, incomes and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Accounting Standards


Assets

Most government assets are valued at their written-down current cost. Otherwise agencies adopt one of the following measurement bases:

• fair value — is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date.

• market value — amount that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets.

• current cost — amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset.

All non-current tangible assets, with a cost of acquisition greater than $1.0 million and a useful life of more than three years, are required to be valued at fair value unless excluded from the scope of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and/or an alternative valuation is specified by another accounting standard.

All intangible assets are measured at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

All non-current assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. The most common method used for calculating depreciation expense is the straight line method.

Certain heritage assets have very long and indeterminate useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period. As such, no amount for depreciation has been recognised in respect of those assets.

Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated/amortised over the period during which the government is expected to benefit from use of the leased asset.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits (including salaries and wages, annual leave, long service leave, skills and experience retention leave, sick leave and superannuation benefits) reflect those benefits accrued as a result of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Short-term employee benefits (expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employee rendered the services) are measured at a nominal amount based on the remuneration rates an agency expects to pay. Examples of short-term employee benefits include salaries and wages and annual leave.

Long-term employee benefits (other than short-term) are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. An example of a long-term employee benefit is long service leave.

Sick leave

For the majority of agencies, no liability will be recognised for sick leave.

There is no liability for non-vesting sick leave (a non-vesting entitlement is that which does not constitute a legal obligation of the employing agency until a valid claim is made by an employee or an event has occurred) if, on average, sick leave taken is less than total entitlements accruing.

Vesting sick leave entitlements are rare for state government employees.



Superannuation

For most state government controlled agencies, the Treasurer assumes the accrued superannuation liability in return for periodic payments from agencies. Therefore, unless there are contributions due but not yet paid at the reporting date, there is no superannuation liability recorded for the agency.

Two types of superannuation plans are in operation currently in the public sector: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. In a defined benefit plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to a formula based on years of membership and/or salary levels. In a defined contribution plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to accumulated contributions made to the plan together with investment earnings thereon.

Under existing arrangements, the Treasurer is liable for any net deficiency in assets for the defined benefits plans. Deficits in defined benefit superannuation plans are recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position for the Treasurer. The deficits are measured as the excess of employees’ accrued benefits resulting from services up to the reporting date over the fair value of the plan’s assets as at the reporting date.

Income recognition

Wherever possible, income is recognised when the transaction or event giving rise to the income occurs. As a result, all items of income are normally reported in the statement of comprehensive income when an agency obtains control over the respective amounts. In circumstances where it is not possible to determine objectively when control over the asset passes to the agency, the amounts are recognised upon receipt.

Appropriation

The investment program requirements for agencies included in the agency statements may be funded through operating appropriation, operating receipts, the proceeds of asset sales, grants and through Commonwealth payments. Where the investment requirements of an agency are not funded from these sources, the state government funding of an agency’s investment program will generally be treated as an equity contribution from the government, as representative owner. These contributions are treated as contributions to equity rather than income in an agency.

Funds appropriated, but not required to meet current year cash outflows will be deposited with the Treasurer and will show as an asset in the agency’s statement of financial position.

Cash alignment policy

Where agencies have returned excess cash held to the Treasurer in accordance with the cash alignment policy, the payment is generally recorded as ‘expenses to state government’ in the statement of comprehensive income. Some agencies have elected to repay debt or return contributed capital with excess cash balances. These transactions will be reflected in the statement of financial position.

Rounding

All estimated amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Due to rounding, there may be instances where estimated financial statements and tables do not add correctly.
