User GuideThe purpose of the 2012-13 Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements) is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the portfolio. Agencies receive resources from the annual appropriations acts, special appropriations (including standing appropriations and special accounts), and revenue from other sources.

A key role of the PB Statements is to facilitate the understanding of proposed annual appropriations in Appropriation Bills No. 1 and No. 2 2012-13 (or Appropriation Bill [Parliamentary Departments] No. 1 2012-13 for the parliamentary departments). In this sense the PB Statements are Budget related papers and are declared by the Appropriation Acts to be ‘relevant documents’ to the interpretation of the Acts according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

The PB Statements provide information, explanation and justification to enable Parliament to understand the purpose of each outcome proposed in the Bills.

As required under section 12 of the Charter of Budget Honesty Act 1998, non-general government sector entities are not consolidated into the Commonwealth general government sector fiscal estimates and accordingly, these entities are not reported in the PB Statements.

Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs

Section 1: Agency overview and resources

1.1 Strategic direction statement

The Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) is the Australian Government’s primary agency in the development and implementation of social policy. FaHCSIA’s purpose is to improve the lives of Australians by creating opportunities for economic and social participation and building a stronger and fairer society.FaHCSIA’s outcomes reflect the seven core areas in which the Department seeks to assist people:

1. Families and Children2. Housing 3. Community Capability and the Vulnerable 4. Seniors 5. Disability and Carers6. Women 7. Indigenous.

The detailed outcome statements for the seven areas can be found in Section 2 of these Portfolio Budget Statements. FaHCSIA achieves its objectives by:• Payments to individuals – FaHCSIA makes direct payments to individuals

through the Department of Human Services and other agencies. Primary examples of these payments include the Age Pension, the Disability Support Pension (DSP) and the Family Tax Benefit (FTB).

• Working with the states and territories – FaHCSIA works with the states and territories to achieve outcomes in their areas of responsibility, including housing, disability services, tackling Indigenous disadvantage, concessions and the welfare of children.

• Funding community-based organisations – FaHCSIA funds community-based organisations to deliver a range of local services, including family relationship services, family support, community-based mental health services, early intervention support, emergency relief and supported employment for people with disability.

• Policy development, leadership, advice and coordination – FaHCSIA supports its Ministers in their policy roles by providing advice on social

17

policy, building the evidence base for decisions and action and in whole-of-government policy coordination for Indigenous affairs and for women.

Key priorities for 2012–13

The 2012–13 Budget continues to build on the Government’s key reforms for families, seniors, Indigenous Australians and people with disability and their carers. Major initiatives in the 2012–13 Budget include a substantial package of support for families including a new payment to families with children at school and increases in Family Tax Benefit, the launch of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, a new Remote Jobs and Communities Program and the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory package.

Help for families with the costs of raising children

Major initiatives in the 2012–13 Budget build on significant improvements to family assistance delivered in previous years. Around 1.3 million low- and medium-income families with children at school will receive a new bonus payment of $410 a year for each primary school student and $820 a year for each high school student to help with school costs from 1 January 2013. This new payment will replace the Education Tax Refund, and will be provided up front twice a year in January and July so that families have the money when they need it. Around 80 per cent of eligible families will receive more assistance through the new payment. As part of the transition to the new payment, the Education Tax Refund for 2011–12 will be paid as a one-off lump-sum payment to all eligible families in June 2012. Families will also receive an increase in Family Tax Benefit Part A to help with cost of living pressures as part of the Benefits of the Boom package. The maximum rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A will increase by $300 a year for families with one child and by $600 a year for families with two or more children. The base rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A will increase by $100 a year for families with one child and by $200 a year for families with two or more children. Over 1.5 million families who are paid Family Tax Benefit Part A will receive an increase in their payments from 1 July 2013.This new assistance builds on the substantial increases to family payments for teenagers in school that started on 1 January 2012. The Government’s Paid Parental Leave scheme continues to support working parents to take more time off with their babies in the crucial early months. This year, the Government will expand the scheme through the introduction of two weeks Dad and Partner Pay, which will give fathers and partners the opportunity to bond with their child and encourage them to take on a greater role in caring for their child. As part of the Government’s reform of the tax-free threshold, the 2012–13 Budget introduces streamlined end-of-year reporting for low-income parents who no longer have to lodge a tax return. These parents will be able to

18

FaHCSIA Budget Statements

update their incomes with the Department of Human Services online, over the phone or in person to ensure that they receive their correct entitlements. The Government has also taken further steps to make sure the family payment system is focused on providing support to children at school or in study. For teenagers who have already completed secondary or equivalent education, the maximum age of eligibility for Family Tax Benefit Part A will be lowered from 21 to 17 years from 1 January 2013. For teenagers still in secondary or equivalent education, Family Tax Benefit Part A will still be available up to the end of the calendar year they turn 19.

Supporting people with disability, their families and carers

The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that people with disability are supported in all aspects of their lives so they can participate fully in the community. Continuing fundamental disability reform through a National Disability Insurance Scheme is a key priority for 2012–13. Since the release of the Productivity Commission’s report on the Inquiry into Disability Care and Support, FaHCSIA has been supporting the Australian Government in laying the foundations for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The current system is not delivering the kind of care and support that Australians expect for people with disability. An NDIS would insure all Australians for the cost of care and support in the event of significant permanent disability.

Through the 2012–13 Budget, the Australian Government is investing $1.0 billion in the first stage of an NDIS. In this significant social policy reform, from mid-2013 the first stage of an NDIS will be rolled out in selected communities across the country. The development and implementation of this first stage will test key features of an NDIS, including how to provide support on an individualised basis that gives a person with disability real choice and control, and how to manage disability care and support on the basis of insurance principles. About 20,000 Australians with disability, as well as their families and carers, will benefit from the first stage of the NDIS. The Australian Government is working with states and territories through the Select Council of Treasurers and Disability Reform Ministers to lay the necessary foundations for the scheme. Consistent with the vision set out by the Productivity Commission, the NDIS will: • provide eligible individuals with the support that is reasonable and

necessary to meet their needs• give individuals decision-making power, including being able to choose

their service provider• provide high-quality, evidence-based services that manage lifetime costs

of care• be simple to navigate and link to mainstream services


• recognise the essential support of families and carers and support them in that role

• facilitate each individual’s community participation, access to education and employment opportunities

• be managed on an insurance basis.This year’s Budget also includes a commitment of $59.6 million over four years to ensure that support continues for 20,000 workers with disability in supported employment. This funding provides ongoing funding certainty for Australian Disability Enterprises into the future. This Budget also includes funding to expand support for children with hearing and/or vision impairment in outer regional and remote Australia. This funding will be delivered through the Remote Hearing and Vision Services program and will provide greater access to qualified allied health and education services.These reforms build on the Government’s historic investment in delivering for people with disability and their carers. The National Disability Strategy and the National Carer Strategy were both launched in 2011. The National Disability Strategy sets out a 10-year policy roadmap for all governments to address the barriers faced by Australians with disability. The National Carer Strategy sets out a plan to provide carers with the same opportunities as other Australians to participate fully in work, family and community life. In 2012–13, FaHCSIA will continue to support the Government to coordinate these two key strategies. The Government’s election commitments for people with disability and their carers will continue to be rolled out. The Australian Government has allocated $60 million over four years to the Supported Accommodation Innovation Fund to build 150 innovative, community-based supported accommodation places for people with disability. Around 4,000 children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome or greater vision or hearing impairment are now registered for vital early intervention support as a result of the Government’s Better Start for Children with Disability initiative. This builds on the success of the Helping Children with Autism initiative which started in 2008.In addition, the Government’s reforms to the Disability Support Pension (DSP) to support people with the capacity to participate in the workforce continue to be implemented. New assessment processes for the DSP started in September 2011, and impairment tables started on 1 January 2012. From 1 July 2012, two additional changes will commence. DSP recipients will be able to work up to 30 hours a week in open employment and, subject to the income test, still receive a pension. In addition, DSP recipients under the age of 35 who have some work capacity will develop participation plans for engaging in the community and work.FaHCSIA will also continue to expand the community-based mental health services announced in the 2011–12 Budget.


Closing the Gap on Indigenous disadvantage

The 2012–13 Budget delivers major investment for Indigenous Australians as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to Closing the Gap on Indigenous disadvantage. FaHCSIA provides whole–of-government coordination and policy advice and supports implementation of COAG’s National Indigenous Reform Agreement. This outlines the framework for Closing the Gap, including six ambitious Closing the Gap targets and seven inter-related areas for investment and change – known as the ‘building blocks’.FaHCSIA has contributed to the development of two significant cross-portfolio initiatives within the Closing the Gap framework: the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory package and the Remote Jobs and Communities Program.The Northern Territory Emergency Response finishes this year. While progress has been made in improving Aboriginal people’s lives, the situation in the Northern Territory remains critical. After extensive consultation with Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory, the Australian Government has developed a 10-year commitment to build Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory, providing $3.4 billion over the next 10 years. This commitment includes funding for health and food security; getting children to school to get a decent education and supporting families to give children the best start in life; tackling alcohol abuse and keeping communities safe for vulnerable women and children; providing decent housing; increasing job opportunities and supporting people to get jobs; and support for the delivery of municipal and essential services in outstations and homelands. The 10-year funding package, combined with the proposed supporting legislation, will give people and communities the support they need to work in partnership with the Australian Government to build stronger futures. The Stronger Futures legislation will repeal the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007. The Australian Government is investing $1.5 billion over five years for a new Remote Jobs and Communities Program, to commence on 1 July 2013. It will work in partnership with communities to help people get and keep a job and to achieve sustainable community development. The Remote Jobs and Communities Program will see jobseekers assisted by a single provider with a permanent presence in their region, ensuring they are getting better support to get the skills needed to get a job. It will also ensure that people who are not working are participating in activities that contribute to developing strong and sustainable communities. A key priority for FaHCSIA will be to continue to work in partnership with the states and the Northern Territory to deliver on the commitments and milestones set out in the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing. This provides an unprecedented investment of $5.5 billion over 10 years, from 2008–09 to 2017–18, for housing and housing-related infrastructure in remote Indigenous communities.


FaHCSIA will also deliver on the Government’s decision to provide $43.4 million to extend the Municipal and Essential Services Program for a further year to deliver power, water, sewerage and other essential services for approximately 38,000 people in about 350 remote Indigenous communities across Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.The Government is committed to acknowledging the status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution. To support this commitment, it is funding a community awareness initiative to build and sustain public engagement and understanding of constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Support for seniors

FaHCSIA continues to work to support the wellbeing of senior Australians. A key part of this support is the payment of the Age Pension and supplements, and the provision of concessions to those senior Australians who are unable to fully support themselves.FaHCSIA continues to implement the Government’s Secure and Sustainable Pension reforms. Since these reforms in 2009, pensions have increased by around $154 a fortnight for single pensioners and around $156 a fortnight for pensioner couples combined.A new National Partnership on Certain Concessions for Pensioners and Seniors Card holders is currently being negotiated, to commence from 1 July 2012. The partnership would contribute funds to states and territories towards the provision of certain concessions for all Pensioner Concession Card holders and public transport concessions for out-of-state Seniors Card holders.

Household Assistance Package

The introduction of the carbon price on 1 July 2012 as part of the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Future plan delivers support for jobs, competitiveness and Australia’s economic growth while reducing pollution. The Household Assistance Package will provide assistance through increased payments and tax cuts.

From May 2012, an initial household assistance payment will be automatically paid to eligible pensioners, allowees and Family Tax Benefit recipients. The payment is an adjustment to help with the impact of carbon pricing and will cover a period of nine to 18 months, depending on the type of payment, until household assistance becomes part of regular government payments at regular indexation points.

The introduction of the Government’s tax reform package from 1 July 2012 will increase the tax-free threshold from $6,000 to $18,200 and will assist low-income households by giving them more money through reduced tax.


In addition to these measures, low-income households that do not receive enough household assistance through tax cuts or other government payments may be eligible for an annual Low Income Supplement of $300.

The new Home Energy Saver Scheme will also support low-income households across Australia that experience difficulty in meeting and paying for their energy needs. Clients will be able to access the scheme from 2012–13. It will provide access to energy efficiency and financial management information and education, advice and advocacy, and will assist with the integration of financial management and energy efficiency services. Additional funding has been provided for the No Interest Loans Scheme, expanding support for a component of the financial literacy and microfinance projects funded in the 2011 Budget.

Other assistance is being provided through the Essential Medical Equipment Payment and the Remote Indigenous Energy Program.

Assisting vulnerable Australians

Through a range of programs, the Government continues to provide assistance to vulnerable individuals and families at risk of exclusion. FaHCSIA aims to build financial resilience and wellbeing for vulnerable people by providing crisis assistance, expert help with financial matters, money management information and education, microfinance products, income management and payments for individuals in special circumstances. Income management in Western Australia, which started in November 2008, is being continued in this Budget, as is the School Enrolment and Attendance program operating in Queensland. In 2012–13 FaHCSIA will continue to progress important gambling reforms, as announced by the Prime Minister on 21 January 2012. These reforms include legislation to support a pre-commitment system in all states and territories, dynamic warning requirements and Automated Teller Machine withdrawal limits.FaHCSIA will also pursue a number of non-legislative reforms, including sponsoring a large-scale trial of mandatory pre-commitment in the Australian Capital Territory, 50 new financial counselling positions to help problem gamblers, and funding for the Gambling Help Online website. Funding for these initiatives is provided in the 2012–13 Budget.The Government will support the establishment of a Federal Children’s Commissioner within the Australian Human Rights Commission during 2012–13. The Commissioner will focus on promoting the rights, wellbeing and development of children and young people in Australia.


Housing

FaHCSIA assists households on low and moderate incomes to access affordable and appropriate housing and supports people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

In December 2011, responsibility for affordable housing programs was transferred to FaHCSIA from the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. Affordable housing includes three subprograms: the National Rental Affordability Scheme, the Housing Affordability Fund and the Building Better Regional Cities program. In 2012–13, FaHCSIA will continue to manage these subprograms to increase the supply of affordable housing and rental housing.

FaHCSIA has whole-of-government oversight of social and affordable housing policy at the Commonwealth level and works in partnership with states and territories to improve housing outcomes for Australians. The National Affordable Housing Agreement funds public and community housing delivered by the states and territories. Rent Assistance payments help eligible people to afford rental housing. FaHCSIA will continue to work with states and territories to finalise the delivery of the social and affordable housing dwellings being delivered through the Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan and the National Partnership Agreement on Social Housing.

Addressing homelessness is critical to reducing long-term disadvantage and remains a priority for the Government. FaHCSIA is responsible for a range of initiatives to address homelessness and leads whole-of-government efforts to achieve the Government's homelessness reduction targets. Much of this work is done in partnership with states and territories under the National Affordable Housing Agreement and National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness.

Women

The Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Amendment Bill 2012 has been introduced into Parliament to remove barriers to women’s workforce participation and enhance gender equality in the workplace. In addition, the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–2022 is being implemented in partnership with state and territory governments and the non-government sector.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance

2.1 Outcomes and performance information

Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth payments and programs are the primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs that contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.Each outcome is described below, together with its related programs, which specify the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of FaHCSIA in achieving government outcomes.

Outcome 1: Families and ChildrenImproved child development, safety and family functioning through support services for all Australians, payments for low and medium income families with children and child support policy.

Outcome 1 strategy

FaHCSIA's programs and payments for families deliver assistance to families as well as targeting vulnerable and at-risk families and children. There is a particular focus on supporting families during major transitions in their lives. Assistance provided includes support for both parents to be at home with their new baby; parenting (particularly during early childhood but also to support families with older children so they can finish school or training); and assistance with family relationship problems and separation.The Family Support Program provides a suite of services to support families to improve children's wellbeing, development and safety, and to enhance family functioning. The reformed Family Support Program, which came into effect from 1 July 2011, ensures that vulnerable children and families receive support.The payment of Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A reduces financial stress by providing a significant contribution to assist low- and medium-income families with the costs of raising children. FTB Part B assists with the costs incurred by single parents and families with one main income earner. The Government’s Household Assistance Package will help families adjust to the introduction of a carbon price through increases to government payments and tax cuts. From May 2012, an initial household assistance payment will be delivered to Family Tax Benefit recipients to cover the 12-month period from the introduction of the carbon price on 1 July 2012. From 1 July 2013, FTB recipients will receive ongoing household assistance with their regular payment.


From 1 January 2013, low- and medium-income families will receive a new bonus payment for each primary and high school student in school. This new payment will replace the Education Tax Refund, and will be provided up front twice a year in January and July to families with children in school and receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A and those over 16 receiving certain income support and veterans’ payments.From 1 July 2013, families will also receive an increase in Family Tax Benefit Part A to help with cost of living pressures as part of the Benefits of the Boom package. The maximum rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A will increase by $300 per year for families with one child and by $600 per year for families with two or more children. The base rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A will increase by $100 per year for families with one child and by $200 per year for families with two or more children. Over 1.5 million families who are paid Family Tax Benefit Part A will receive an increase in their payments from 1 July 2013.For teenagers who have already completed secondary or equivalent education, the maximum age of eligibility for Family Tax Benefit Part A will be lowered from 21 to 17 years from 1 January 2013. For teenagers still in secondary or equivalent education, FTB Part A will still be available up to the end of the calendar year they turn 19.This year the Australian Government will expand the Paid Parental Leave scheme to include a dedicated, two-week payment for fathers and partners – Dad and Partner Pay – from 1 January 2013. The Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory child, youth, family and community wellbeing’ package aims to strengthen services that support the safety and wellbeing of children, young people and their families in remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. The package will encourage local Indigenous organisations to deliver services and provide opportunities for Indigenous employment. Further information on Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory is under Outcome 7.The National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009–20 and the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–22, under Outcome 6, also contribute to the safety and wellbeing of families and children.

Outcome 2: HousingAccess to affordable, safe housing through: payments and support services; and rental subsidies to low and moderate income households.

Outcome 2 Strategy

Access to safe, stable and affordable housing, together with integrated access to other services, helps people to achieve more sustainable living arrangements and positive life transitions, contributes to their opportunities for social and economic participation and provides crucial help for vulnerable people, including those leaving child protection, domestic violence or health support services.FaHCSIA has whole-of-government oversight of social and affordable housing policy at the Commonwealth level and works in partnership with states and territories to improve housing outcomes for Australians. The states and territories are funded for public housing and community housing under the National Affordable Housing Agreement. Rent Assistance payments help to make rental housing costs more affordable for eligible people who receive income support or family payments. (Payments made under the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) National Agreements are made by the Department of the Treasury. Performance indicators in relation to COAG agreements can be found at www.federalfinancialrelations.gov.au.)FaHCSIA will continue to work with states and territories to finalise the delivery of social and affordable housing dwellings being delivered through the Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan and the National Partnership Agreement on Social Housing.FaHCSIA’s housing programs also assist in increasing the supply of affordable housing and rental housing available to households on low and moderate incomes. The Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) helps to reduce the costs of new homes for homebuyers by contributing to holding costs and infrastructure costs. The Building Better Regional Cities (BBRC) initiative will support some high-growth regional cities with investments in local infrastructure projects that will enable more affordable homes to be built. The National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) offers financial incentives to the business sector and community organisations to build new dwellings for rent to low- and moderate-income households at rates that are at least 20 per cent below local market rates.FaHCSIA is also responsible for a range of initiatives to address homelessness and leads whole-of-government efforts to achieve the Government's homelessness reduction targets. Much of this work is done in partnership with states and territories under the National Affordable


Housing Agreement and the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness.The Government is also working with the states and territories through the National Partnership Agreement Supporting National Mental Health Reform to help break the cycle of homelessness among people suffering from severe mental health conditions. A National Homelessness Research Agenda is helping to ensure that policy and services to reduce homelessness are underpinned by a strong evidence base. Projects are designed to inform policy and drive service-delivery improvements for homeless people and those at risk of homelessness and include:• Journeys Home: Longitudinal Study of Factors Affecting Housing Stability,

which will improve understanding of the diverse social, economic and personal factors that may lead to homelessness

• research partnerships established with the University of Queensland, Flinders University of South Australia and Swinburne University of Technology designed to improve understanding of the pathways into and out of homelessness

• sixteen research projects, involving a range of research institutions, which include service-provider perspectives.

Rent Assistance cash projections

Rent Assistance is not a discrete sum of money separately payable under the law but is a supplementary payment included in the calculation of the primary income support payment (e.g. Age Pension or Parenting Payment) or FTB.

The following table provides cash forecasts for the Rent Assistance component included in the primary income support payment or FTB.

Program 2.2: Affordable Housing

Program 2.2 Objective To improve the supply of affordable housing available to low- and

moderate- income households. To improve the supply of affordable rental housing. To inform decision making by governments, the private sector and

individuals.Program Component ObjectivesNational Rental Affordability Scheme The National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) offers financial incentives to the business sector and community organisations to build and rent dwellings to low- and moderate-income households, at a rate that is at least 20 per cent below market rates. The scheme aims to: increase the supply of new affordable rental housing reduce rental costs for low- and moderate-income households encourage large-scale investment and innovative affordable housing.The Australian Government is committed to stimulating the construction of up to 50,000 new, affordable rental dwellings. This will see a total of 35,000 dwellings delivered by 30 June 2014, with the remaining 15,000 dwellings delivered in 2015–16, providing affordable private rental properties for Australians and their families.Housing Affordability Fund

The Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) reduces the cost of new homes for homebuyers. The funding is directed towards two barriers to increasing the supply of affordable housing: the ‘holding’ costs incurred by developers as a result of long planning

and approval times infrastructure costs, such as water, sewerage, roads, open space and

community facilities.The HAF provides grants to state, territory and local governments to work in conjunction with the private sector to reduce housing-related infrastructure and planning costs, and to pass savings on to new home buyers. Two funding rounds have been conducted and program funding is now fully committed.


Program Component Objectives (continued)Building Better Regional Cities The Building Better Regional Cities (BBRC) program is a three-year commitment by the Australian Government to invest in local infrastructure projects that will support an increased number of affordable homes in high-growth regional cities. Grants are provided to local governments for local infrastructure projects that support new housing developments, including connecting roads, extensions to drains and sewers, and community infrastructure such as parks and community centres.

Program 2.2 ExpensesThe estimates for the Housing Affordability Fund show that it ceases in 2013–14.The NRAS provides a National Rental Incentive to the business sector and community organisations to build and rent dwellings to low- and moderate-income households at 20 per cent or more below market rent rates. The variation in program expenses across forward years is due to an adjustment to the implementation phasing of the existing scheme and the revision of the original budget assumptions. The incentive is delivered through either incentive payments or refundable tax offsets. The NRAS refundable tax offsets are delivered through the Australian Taxation Office and are not part of the FaHCSIA Budget. The change in expenses across the financial years reflects the projected take-up by investors.The Building Better Regional Cities Local Government Authority estimates present this initiative's three-year funding.

Outcome 3: Community Capability and the VulnerableImproved capacity for vulnerable people and communities to participate economically and socially and to manage life-transitions through payments, targeted support services and community capability building initiatives.

Outcome 3 Strategy

Community programs complement the income support system by providing services for those in greatest need.FaHCSIA provides funding to front-line community organisations to support vulnerable and disadvantaged Australians by providing crisis assistance, expert help with financial matters including financial counselling, information and education on money management, microfinance products, income management and payments for individuals in special circumstances.

This Budget includes additional funding for the new Home Energy Saver Scheme, which is part of the Government’s Clean Energy Future plan. The Home Energy Saver Scheme will support low-income households across Australia experiencing difficulty with meeting and paying for their energy needs. The scheme will provide access to energy efficiency and financial management information and education, advice and advocacy, and will assist with the integration of financial management and energy efficiency services.

As part of the Government’s Household Assistance Package, the Essential Medical Equipment Payment will be available to eligible Australians to cover the additional costs of running essential medical equipment or medically required heating and cooling that will arise from the introduction of a carbon pricing scheme. This $140 annual payment comes into effect from 1 July 2012.

Also as part of the Government’s Household Assistance Package, an annual Low Income Supplement of $300 will assist households that do not receive enough assistance through tax reform or other household assistance measures to meet their average expected cost impact from a carbon price.The Government will continue to pursue reforms to tackle problem gambling. In 2012, the Government aims to introduce legislation to support a pre-commitment system (including manufacturing and importation requirements for new machines), dynamic warning requirements and Automatic Teller Machine withdrawal limits.The Government has also announced non-legislative measures which are funded in this Budget, including:• undertaking of a large-scale trial of mandatory pre-commitment to be

conducted in the Australian Capital Territory


• commitment of funding to boost counselling services for problem gamblers. Fifty new financial counsellors will be provided through the Government’s financial counselling network to work with problem gamblers and their families

• an additional $300,000 towards enhancing, and expanding the reach of, Gambling Help Online

• a commitment to working with state and territory governments on strengthening self-exclusion arrangements and improving training for staff in gaming venues.

This Budget also continues income management in Western Australia, which has been funded since 2008.

Outcome 4: SeniorsAn adequate standard of living and improved capacity to productively manage resources and life-transitions for senior Australians through the delivery of payments, concessions and information services.

Outcome 4 Strategy

FaHCSIA's key strategy under Outcome 4 is the payment of the Age Pension and supplements, and the provision of concessions, to senior Australians, who are unable to fully support themselves. Pension reforms introduced from 20 September 2009 continue to benefit many senior Australians and also affect Age Pension expenditure. The reforms include an increase to pension rates, a new pension supplement, and improved indexation and wage benchmarking arrangements. Since 20 September 2009, the maximum pension has increased by $154 a fortnight for single pensioners and $156 for pensioner couples combined on the maximum rate. The Government is providing assistance for pensioners ahead of the introduction of the carbon price from 1 July 2012. In May–June 2012, pensioners will receive an initial payment of $250 for singles and $190 for each eligible member of a couple. Permanent ongoing assistance will be provided to pensioners from 20 March 2013. Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holders who also receive the Seniors Supplement will receive the same level of assistance for the impact of the carbon price as pensioners.The Government has announced major reforms to the aged care system. The pension system will support these reforms by maintaining the means test exemption for accommodation bonds. Under the aged care reforms, people will be able to pay accommodation bonds in a wider range of circumstances, leading to increases in pension outlays in the longer term. The Government continues to assist senior Australians through the provision of concession cards, including the Pensioner Concession Card, the Health Care Card and the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card. These cards provide cardholders with access to Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme prescription items and a lower Extended Medicare safety net threshold. Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holders are also entitled to receive the Seniors Supplement.The Government contributes some funding towards certain state-based concessions through the COAG National Partnership on Certain Concessions for Pensioners and Seniors Card Holders. A new national partnership agreement is currently being negotiated, to commence from 1 July 2012 for four years. The arrangement would continue to contribute funds toward certain specified concessions that the states and territories must provide to all Pensioner Concession Card holders. It also provides funding for states and territories to provide public transport concessions to out-of-state Seniors Card holders.

Outcome 5: Disability and CarersAn adequate standard of living, improved capacity to participate economically and socially and manage life-transitions for people with disability and/or mental illness and carers through payments, concessions, support and care services.

Outcome 5 Strategy

Outcome 5 includes the provision of income support payments and allowances (including Disability Support Pension (DSP), Carer Payment and Carer Allowance) and support services for people with disability and their carers. These services include supported employment, advocacy, community mental health services, respite services, and services for children with autism spectrum disorder and other identified disabilities. Through the 2012–13 Budget, the Australian Government is investing $1 .0 billion in the first stage of a National Disability Insurance scheme (NDIS) in up to four locations across the country. From mid-2013, about 10,000 people with significant and permanent disabilities will start to receive needs assessments and support. From July 2014, the first stage will be expanded to include around 20,000 people.The locations for this first stage will be determined in consultation with the states and territories.As recommended by the Productivity Commission, an NDIS will provide reasonable and necessary support for eligible people with disability. This means that people will get the care and support they need to address the impact of their disability on their capacity to participate in social and economic life. People with disability will have more choice and control about the design and delivery of support to them. Support will be highly individualised but could include personal care and support, aids and equipment such as wheelchairs or communication aids, assistance with transport and one-off assistance such as training in the use of a new communication aid.A new NDIS Launch Transition Agency, funded by the Australian Government, will be established to run the delivery of care and support to people with disability, their families and carers in the select locations. The agency will also oversee the development of an information and communications technology system to capture data and client information for the first stage of an NDIS. In addition, funding will be available to assist the disability services sector and its workforce to transition to an NDIS. This funding will help to expand and train the workforce, ensure that organisations in the sector are well positioned to manage the transition, and that new forms of support are able to be developed to meet the needs of people with disability. The Australian Government will continue to work with the states and territories on the design, governance and funding arrangements for the


national roll-out of an NDIS through the Council of Australian Governments and the Select Council of Treasurers and Disability Ministers.

Disability Support Pension (DSP) is an income support payment for people who are unable to support themselves adequately through work due to a permanent physical, intellectual or psychiatric impairment. Over the last three budgets, a number of reforms aimed at helping people with disability to work wherever possible have overhauled key aspects of the DSP. From 3 September 2011, changes to the assessment of work capacity were implemented to ensure that more people with disability get help to find work. Revised Impairment Tables came into effect on 1 January 2012. The revised tables take account of contemporary medical and rehabilitation practices and international approaches to functional ability. These changes ensure that a person’s ability is considered when assessing their eligibility for DSP.From 1 July 2012, new participation requirements will be introduced for DSP recipients under age 35 with an assessed work capacity of eight or more hours a week. Also from 1 July 2012, all DSP recipients will be able to work up to 30 hours a week without affecting their DSP qualification. Subject to the income test, they will be able to receive a part pension in addition to their employment income.The Government‘s Carer Payment and Carer Allowance support carers of both adults and children. The annual $600 Carer Supplement may also be available to recipients of Carer Allowance for each person being cared for, and an additional $600 to those in receipt of Carer Payment or other eligible income support payment. Carers of children under age 16 receiving Carer Allowance may also receive the annual $1,000 Child Disability Assistance Payment for each eligible child. The Carer Adjustment Payment is an ex gratia payment to families not eligible for income support where, following a catastrophic event involving a child under age seven, the family is going through a period of significant adjustment as a result of the care needs of the child. The 2012–13 Budget commits additional funding to support Australian Disability Enterprises to 2015–16. These organisations will also be assisted to prepare for a new disability reform agenda through a 10-year Australian government vision for inclusive employment. The National Disability Strategy, endorsed by COAG in February 2011 and launched in March 2011, sets out a 10-year roadmap for all governments to address the barriers faced by Australians with disability and ensure that mainstream services and programs, including health care, housing, transport and education, address the needs of people with disability. The first year report to COAG on the National Disability Strategy and the first implementation plan, Laying the Groundwork 2011–2014, will be released in late 2012, following consultation with people with disability, their families and carers and representative organisations.


FaHCSIA is also continuing to work closely with state and territory governments on key priority areas under the National Disability Agreement. Through the National Carer Strategy, launched in August 2011, the Government is supporting carers to have opportunities to participate fully in work, family and community life.The Government’s election commitments for people with disability and their carers will continue to be rolled out. The Australian Government has allocated $60 million over four years to the Supported Accommodation Innovation Fund to build 150 innovative, community-based supported accommodation places for people with disability. Around 4,000 children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome or greater vision or hearing impairment are now registered for vital early intervention support as a result of the Government’s Better Start for Children with Disability initiative. This builds on the success of the Helping Children with Autism initiative which started in 2008.Community-based mental health services seek to improve the capacity of individuals, families and carers affected by mental illness to participate in work and the community. In 2012–13, FaHCSIA will continue to expand services as announced in the 2011–12 Budget.

Program 5.6: National Disability Insurance Scheme

Program 5.6 Objective To improve the wellbeing and social and economic participation of people with disability and their carers by building a National Disability Insurance Scheme that delivers care and support through an insurance approach.

Program 5.6 ExpensesThe increase in program expenses across the forward estimates reflects a gradual take-up of individually funded packages by eligible people with disability in selected locations. In particular, increased program expenses reflect an expansion in the number of people with disability receiving support, from 10,000 people in 2013–14 to 20,000 people in 2014–15 and 2015–16.

Outcome 6: WomenImproved gender equality through coordinated whole of government advice and support for women’s economic security, safety and status.

Outcome 6 Strategy

The Office for Women works with other portfolios across government to advance gender equality and improve the status and wellbeing of women in Australia. It delivers programs and provides policy advice across three priority areas:• reducing violence against women• improving economic outcomes for women• ensuring women’s equal place in society.Equality benefits women and men, as well as their families and communities. Progress towards equality prevents women from falling into poverty and improves outcomes for the most vulnerable women and their families.Violence against women is one of the most serious causes and consequences of continued inequality and one of the key risk factors for women slipping into poverty and disadvantage. Through the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children (February 2011), the Australian Government is working with the states and territories to focus on primary prevention, building the evidence base and improving services for victims and their families. The Office for Women also administers the Support for Victims of Trafficking Program.Improving women's economic outcomes is key to achieving equality between women and men in Australia. It will also significantly boost Australia's productivity. Reforms to the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999, announced in March 2011 and introduced into Parliament in March 2012, will support improved workforce participation for women and gender equality in Australian workplaces.

The Office for Women also undertakes a range of other work through the Gender Equality Program, including:• building women’s capacity to take on leadership responsibilities and

improve the gender balance on government boards and bodies• supporting women and women’s organisations to engage actively with

government • encouraging a gender-based analysis of important policy decisions across

government


• representing government at national and international forums, such as the United Nations, to promote equality, women’s empowerment and women’s leadership.

Contributions to Outcome 6: WomenProgram 6.1: Gender Equality for Women

Program 6.1 Objective To implement strategies in priority areas to achieve gender equality. The priority areas include reducing violence against women, improving economic outcomes for women, and ensuring women’s equal place in society.Program component objectivesGender Equality for WomenTo implement strategies in priority areas to achieve gender equality.Other Services – Services for other Government and Non-Government Bodies (Special Account)To manage expenditure in connection with services performed on behalf of other governments and bodies that are not agencies subject to the FMA Act, including the COAG Select Council on Women's Issues.22

22 In September 2011, the COAG Select Council on Women’s Issues replaced the former Commonwealth, State, Territory and New Zealand Ministers’ Conference on the Status of Women following a COAG review of its ministerial council system.


Program 6.1 ExpensesThe changes in program expenses across the forward years reflect projected changes in indexation parameters and the impact of policy initiatives. The increase in estimates in 2013–14 reflects the effect of the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2010–2022 introduced in 2010–11 Additional Estimates. The high relative funding in 2011–12 is due to a movement of funds previously approved from 2010–11.

Outcome 7: IndigenousClosing the gap in Indigenous disadvantage with improved wellbeing, capacity to participate economically and socially and to manage life-transitions for Indigenous Australians through Indigenous engagement, coordinated whole of government policy advice and targeted support services.

Outcome 7 Strategy

FaHCSIA is the lead agency in the Australian Government for Indigenous affairs, and coordinates the Australian Government’s contribution to the Closing the Gap strategy agreed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in 2008.It has direct responsibility for Indigenous policy and programs in the areas of remote housing and support for essential services; land rights and support for Indigenous people’s participation in the native title system; community development; leadership development and capacity building; engagement with Indigenous Australians; and building positive relationships between Indigenous and other Australians.FaHCSIA’s work across all of its outcomes has a major impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in areas such as:• financial, family and housing support: ensuring that new and existing

child, family and individual support payments and services are sensitive to the needs of Indigenous people and ensuring that Indigenous people can access a range of healthy housing options, as well as essential services in remote areas

• encouraging self reliance and participation: tackling violence, working with communities to find solutions to alcohol abuse, ensuring that welfare payments promote participation, and helping Indigenous people to use land, housing and other assets to build economic independence

• building capacity and resilience: providing leadership skills to individuals and promoting good governance in organisations and communities so they can work to build better and more self-sufficient futures.

COAG’s National Indigenous Reform Agreement provides the framework for Closing the Gap on Indigenous disadvantage. The agreement sets out six ambitious targets to close the gap: in life expectancy, infant mortality, pre-school education, education, and employment; and identifies seven inter-related ‘building blocks’ which are a focus for investment and effort: Early Childhood, Schooling, Health, Healthy Homes, Economic Participation, Safe Communities, and Governance and Leadership. FaHCSIA coordinates policy development for Closing the Gap across the Australian Government, including through coordination of the Single Indigenous Budget Submission and through evaluating the impacts of existing Indigenous programs and policies. It promotes cooperation among Commonwealth agencies that are partners in Closing the Gap. These


agencies – including FaHCSIA, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, the Department of Health and Ageing, the Department of Human Services and the Attorney-General’s Department – meet regularly to coordinate their contributions to the National Indigenous Reform Agreement. Multilateral engagement is facilitated through the Working Group on Indigenous Reform, which includes representatives from the states and territories and reports directly to COAG.The challenges of Closing the Gap are greatest in remote regions and much of FaHCSIA’s Indigenous-specific expenditure is focused in these areas. The Department also has a key role in ensuring that services delivered through mainstream programs and national partnership agreements are accessible to Indigenous Australians across Australia. The National Urban and Regional Service Delivery Strategy for Indigenous Australians, agreed by COAG in July 2009, is coordinated by FaHCSIA and addresses the disadvantage experienced by many Indigenous Australians living in urban and regional areas. Of the seven Indigenous-specific national partnership agreements, FaHCSIA is leading the implementation of three:• Remote Indigenous Housing, with a commitment of $5.5 billion to 2018 to

build and upgrade houses in remote Indigenous communities• Remote Service Delivery, which is coordinating services in 29 priority

locations to 2015• Closing the Gap in the Northern Territory, which has been working to

improve services, safety and economic opportunities in Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. This agreement will cease on 30 June 2012 and will be replaced by the proposed Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory National Partnership Agreement. Negotiations are under way with the Northern Territory Government to agree this new national partnership agreement.

The Department’s extensive on-the-ground network engages with Indigenous people through offices across Australia and through staff living and working in many remote communities, including locally employed Indigenous Engagement Officers. The network consults with people and communities, provides tailored solutions to local issues, and promotes take-up of services across government, both Indigenous-specific and mainstream. The FaHCSIA 2012–13 Budget for Outcome 7 reflects the Government’s commitment to work within its overall fiscal strategy to strengthen existing Closing the Gap initiatives. It improves outcomes for Indigenous people in the Northern Territory where disadvantage is greatest and where the Closing the Gap in the Northern Territory National Partnership Agreement and the Northern Territory Emergency Response legislation are due to expire. FaHCSIA is contributing to two significant cross-portfolio measures: the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory package and the Remote Jobs and Communities Program.


Over the last four years, efforts to close the gap in the Northern Territory have resulted in real progress in areas such as health, housing, safer communities and the availability of healthy food. There is, however, much more to be done. This Budget delivers on the need for comprehensive and long-term investment to underpin Closing the Gap in the Northern Territory. The Stronger Futures package is a 10-year commitment to help Indigenous people living in the Northern Territory live strong and independent lives. It builds on existing initiatives and responds to urgent needs and issues identified by Indigenous people in consultations last year.The new Remote Jobs and Communities Program will provide a more integrated and flexible approach to employment and participation services for people living in remote areas of Australia. It will help people get the skills needed to find and keep a job, and participate in activities that contribute to the strength and sustainability of their community.The Australian Government is providing $43.4 million in the 2012–13 Budget to support the continuation of basic municipal and essential services to approximately 38,000 people in approximately 350 remote Indigenous communities across Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. These services include power, water and sewerage services; garbage collection and disposal; internal road maintenance; landscaping and dust control; animal and environmental health programs; and organisational governance. The Commonwealth and state and territory governments recently agreed to work together to progress genuine reform in this critical area. The Cape York Welfare Reform project is working with four communities in far north Queensland to trial new approaches to the provision of welfare and to strengthen social responsibility, economic opportunities, education and housing. The trial will be extended for 12 months to 31 December 2013 to enable important elements to continue while the trial’s outcomes are being evaluated. The Commonwealth is seeking a commitment from the Queensland Government to continue funding for Cape York Welfare Reform activities. FaHCSIA‘s activities also help to foster stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, based on mutual respect. On 19 January 2012, the Australian Government received advice from an expert panel on how constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples might be achieved. The Australian Government is providing $10 million to continue to build community awareness and support for this signature reform so that a proposal can be put to the Australian people at a future referendum.

Program 7.2: Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure

Program 7.2 Objective To improve the quality and supply of Indigenous housing and infrastructure in remote communities.Program Component Objectives

Remote Indigenous Housing

To deliver programs and projects that support the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing, as part of the $5.5 billion commitment, including the Remote Indigenous Energy Program, the Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Program, and other housing and infrastructure projects. In addition, funding is provided for delivery of some municipal and essential services to Indigenous communities under existing arrangements pending the implementation of revised arrangements for roles, responsibilities and funding across governments as agreed under the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing. Indigenous Boarding Hostels Partnerships To provide funding to establish student accommodation for Indigenous young people from remote areas.Linked to: Payments under the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing, the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness, the National Partnership Agreement on Social Housing and the National Affordable Housing Agreement are made by the Treasury. For information about those payments, refer to the Treasury’s 2012–13 PB Statements and Budget Paper No. 3, Australia’s Federal Relations.Also linked to: The Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory National Partnership Agreement – negotiations are under way with the Northern Territory Government for this agreement and it is expected to commence on 1 July 2012.


Program 7.2 ExpensesThe changes in program expenses across the forward years reflect projected changes in indexation parameters and the completion of projects under the Indigenous Boarding Hostels Partnership and Remote Indigenous Housing Program. Changes also reflect government decisions, in particular the additional funding provided through the Remote Indigenous Energy Program, which forms part of the Clean Energy Future plan and the extension of the funding for the Municipal and Essential Services Program for an additional year while the Commonwealth, the states and the Northern Territory work towards clearer roles and responsibilities for funding and delivery of municipal and essential services and infrastructure.The reduction of funding for 2012–13 is primarily due to the transfer of funds from FaHCSIA to the Department of the Treasury for the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory National Partnership.

3.1.3 Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure

The Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure report provides a breakdown of estimated Indigenous expenditure administered by portfolio. Table 3.1.3 shows the estimated Indigenous expenditure administered by FaHCSIA in 2011–12 and 2012–13 by appropriation and outcome. The reduction in Indigenous expenditure in 2012–13 is primarily due to the movement of funds to other portfolios as part of the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory and Remote Jobs and Communities programs.

3.2 Budgeted financial statements

3.2.1 Differences in agency resourcing and financial statements

Table 3.2.1 recognises the full year revenue for 2012-13 on the basis of accrual accounting principles.

3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statements

Departmental

Income and expenses

FaHCSIA is budgeting for an operating deficit of $57.3 million for 2012–13. This is the result of the revised net cash funding arrangements introduced under Operation Sunlight, whereby asset replacement is now funded through a capital appropriation rather than the departmental operating appropriation. After allowing for depreciation expenses, the reconciliation table at the bottom of Table 3.2.1 shows that the operating result is a small approved deficit attributable to FaHCSIA due to fluctuations in the bond rates. Total operating revenue for 2012–13 is estimated at $575.5 million, comprising a net increase in government appropriations of $17.2 million to a total of $550.3 million, offset by a decrease in own source revenue of $4.8 million to a total of $25.3 million. The net increase in revenue of $12.4 million is primarily due to funding through government decisions and measures.Total expenses for 2012–13 are estimated to be $632.8 million. The net increase in expenses of $10.6 million is primarily attributable to the increase in employee benefits and supplier expenses as a result of Government decisions and measures.Balance sheet

The Department’s net asset position is expected to increase by $2.3 million. This is due to the impact of the operating loss of $57.3 million and offset by an increase in contributed equity from the capital appropriations of $59.6 million.Administered

Income and expenses

FaHCSIA will administer the collection of non-taxation revenue estimated at $152.5 million in 2012–13, a decrease of $25.7 million from the 2011–12 estimated revenues. The decrease is due to reduced returns from investments and receipts to special accounts.


FaHCSIA will administer programs totalling $82,736.0 million in expenses in 2012–13. The increase of $2886.2 million principally reflects customer trends, indexation of income support payments and measures.Balance sheet

Total assets administered on behalf of the Government are expected to increase by $854.2 million to $6,310.2 million. This is primarily due to an increase of $757.7 million in receivables and $97.4 million in investments.Total liabilities administered on behalf of the Government are expected to increase by $865.2 million to $9,214.4 million, which is driven by the increase in the personal benefits payable.

3.2.3 Notes to the financial statements

Accounting policies

Budgeted statements of income and expenditure, assets and liabilities and cash flows have been included for the financial years 2011–12 to 2015–16. These statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Government’s financial budget and reporting framework.

Amounts in these statements are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Reporting Entities

FaHCSIA’s budgeted financial statements include: • the Department (FaHCSIA core) • the Social Security Appeals Tribunal • the Aboriginals Benefit Account • the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land Account.Departmental and Administered Items

Departmental revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are those which are controlled by FaHCSIA. Departmental expenses include employee and supplier expenses and other administrative costs which are incurred by FaHCSIA in providing its goods and services.

Administered items are revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities which are managed by FaHCSIA on behalf of the Australian Government, according to set government directions. Administered expenses include subsidies, grants and personal benefit payments.

The distinction between departmental and administered funding enables an assessment of the administrative efficiency of the department in managing government programmes.

Asset Valuation

All assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment and other infrastructure assets are periodically revalued at their fair value.

Commentary – Financial Statements

Intangibles (Departmental)

Intangibles represent the amount of computer software currently recorded by FaHCSIA. Intangible assets are recorded at cost.

There are no significant differences between the resource information presented in the Budget Papers and Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements) as a result of differences between Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and Government Finance Statistics (GFS). Furthermore, there are no differences which arise because of related entity transactions.


An analysis of the primary causes of movements from the financial statements published in the 2011-12 Portfolio Budget Statements is provided below.

Budgeted departmental income statement

This statement provides a picture of the expected financial results for AHL by identifying full accrual expense and revenues, which highlights whether AHL is operating at a sustainable level.Total RevenueOperating income from Government has increased by $0.039 million in 2011–12 as a result of indexation. The accommodation charges have been revised to ensure the provision of quality sustainable services from AHL.Other Grants reflects the funding expected to be received from DEEWR through the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program (IYMP) until 31 December 2012. The current contract with DEEWR for the delivery of the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program (IYMP) in seven locations (Darwin, Alice Springs, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour and Hobart) is due to end on 31 December 2012 (in 2011–12 $2.970 million and in 2012–13 $1.937 million). AHL is about to commence discussions with DEEWR in regard to contracts for service delivery in 2013.Funding from Department of Health and Ageing ceased 30 November 2011 when Hetti Perkins Aged Care Home in Northern Territory was sold to a private entity (in 2011–12 $2.300 million and zero in 2012-13).In 2011–12 AHL also received one-off project funding from DEEWR for the construction of Secondary Education Boarding Facility in Wadeye, Northern Territory (in 2011–12 $1.569 million and zero in 2012–13).As a result, there is a reduction in total other income from 2012–13, and there is no capital works planned.Total ExpensesSalaries and employee benefits — these have been decreased by $1.679

180


million as a result of the sale of Hetti Perkins Aged Home, and the IYMP program coming to an end on 31 December 2012.Suppliers — these have decreased by $14.717 million primarily due to completing one off projects funded by DEEWR for the construction of Wadeye Secondary Education Boarding Facility, and from FaHCSIA for the construction of the Indigenous Mothers Accommodation Facility in Northern Territory. These one-off construction costs are reflected in 2011-12 only as both projects will be completed during 2011-12.Depreciation and Amortisation — depreciation of $5.118 million in 2011-12 is based on expected actual expenses. Depreciation for 2012-13 and forward years is based on an asset review.Grants — this item represents the community hostels grants to approved organisations to operate hostels.The current contract with DEEWR for the delivery of the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program (IYMP) in seven locations (Darwin, Alice Springs, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour and Hobart) is due to end on 31 December 2012. As a result, there is a reduction in both total income and expenditure from 2012-13.Budgeted departmental balance sheet

This statement shows the financial position of AHL. It helps AHL to track the management of assets and liabilities.

The major variations between estimated actuals for 2011-12 and the budget for 2012-13 in the Balance Sheet are as follows:• the increase in the cash balance is a result of a reduction of purchase of

non-current assets and a reduction of expenses in not subsiding Hetti Perkins Aged Care Home in Northern Territory.

• the decrease in receivables is due to unwinding of the prepayment for the Hetti Perkins Aged Care Home and improvement in AHL’s debt collection method.

• liabilities have decreased due to improved payment methods as a result of centralising the payments function and introduction of on-line procurement function.

Budgeted departmental statement of cash flows

Budgeted cash flows, as reflected in the statement of cash flows, provide important information on the extent and nature of cash flows by categorising them into expected cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.

The major variations between estimated actuals for 2011–12 and budget for 2012–13 in the Statement of Cash Flows are as follows:• the decrease in total cash to be received from operating activities in

2012-13 is linked to the decrease in Indigenous Youth Mobility Program

181


funding as the program is due to end on 31 December 2012, ceasing of project funding from DEEWR (completion of project funding) and Department of Health and Ageing (sale of Hetti Perkins Aged Care Home).

• the decrease in total cash used for operating activities is due to the payments of one-off construction project expenditure 2011-12.

• the decrease in total cash used for investing activities is due to the reduction of asset purchases 2012-13.

Australian Institute of Family Studies



The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) is the Australian Government’s key research body in the area of family wellbeing. It was established in 1980 under the Family Law Act 1975 and its role is to conduct research and communicate findings to policy-makers, service providers and the community about factors affecting family wellbeing. AIFS’ work provides an evidence base for developing policy and practice related to the wellbeing of families in Australia. AIFS undertakes a range of research activities and ensures the quality of its work through:• rigorous ethical standards and oversight by an ethics committee• benchmarking against international standards• subjecting research design, methodology and results to peer review. Its work includes research projects involving a range of data collection and analytic methods (such as quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods), as well as undertaking longitudinal studies and analyses of major national datasets, such as the ABS census, and completing literature reviews and submissions to government inquiries.AIFS’ activities underpin policy development in areas such as:• tracking family change, functioning and wellbeing in an increasingly

diverse Australian society• understanding the drivers of the social and economic participation of

families• providing information to support national efforts to promote the safety of

children and families• advancing the design and delivery of services to support and strengthen

families. The 2012–13 financial year marks the start of the Institute’s new forward planning triennium, guided by AIFS Research Directions 2012–2015 and AIFS Strategic Directions 2012–2015. Throughout this financial year, much of AIFS’ work will again be undertaken on behalf of other agencies seeking information to inform specific policy decisions affecting families, and their communities, in Australia.Communicating research findings will continue to be an integral part of AIFS’ work. Key stakeholders seeking this information include the Australian Government; state, territory and local governments; providers of services to families and children; researchers and policy makers; and the broader Australian community.

195

Key activities 2012–13

Longitudinal studies – particularly Growing up in Australia: the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, the Stronger Families in Australia study, the Australian Temperament Project and the Longitudinal Study of Separated Families – will continue to be a focus for AIFS. These studies are the key components of an evidence base to inform policy development and analysis undertaken within AIFS and by other researchers.Three of the clearinghouses previously operated by AIFS have been streamlined into a new information exchange: the Child Family Community Australia information exchange, which sits alongside two other clearinghouses: the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault and the Closing the Gap Clearinghouse. These are important vehicles for disseminating sector-specific research and data, and will continue to communicate research findings to policymakers and child/family welfare practitioners.In July 2012, the biennial AIFS Conference will provide a national forum for stimulating ideas and debate about research findings, policy priorities and topical issues important to the wellbeing of families in Australia. This event, along with the AIFS Seminar Series and the biennial Longitudinal Study of Australian Children Conference, provides a platform for world-class speakers to share their knowledge on matters affecting family wellbeing. These activities reach a broad audience in Australia and beyond.This year, AIFS will continue to build relationships with organisations that also have a stake in research, policy and practice which affect family wellbeing. These relationships help to efficiently build research capability and communications reach, for the benefit of the Australian Government and the Australian community. Finally, the Institute will maintain high standards in relation to its research and corporate governance through adherence to the standards set by the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, through use of peer reviewing of projects and publications, and involvement of its Advisory Council, as well as through the work of the Risk Assessment and Audit Committee.

1.3 Budget measures

AIFS does not have any budget measures.

Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs which contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.Each outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of the Australian Institute of Family Studies in achieving government outcomes.

Outcome 1

To increase understanding of factors affecting how Australian families function by conducting research and communicating findings to policy-makers, service providers and the broader community.

Outcome 1 Strategy

The Institute continues to have a single planned outcome. AIFS has two strategies to meet this outcome: AIFS undertakes high-quality, impartial research that is relevant to good policy and practice

AIFS disseminates its findings to policy makers, community service providers, the research community and the Australian community.

In 2012–13, AIFS’ resources will be directed towards: • continuing to develop the evidence base to inform policy development

and good practice, including:– major longitudinal studies – short- and medium-term research projects, submissions and reports– program evaluations – literature reviews.

• continuing to communicate research findings to four targeted groups: – policy makers: to inform the development and review of policies and

programs affecting families

199


– service providers: to improve professional practice that supports families

– researchers: to encourage further research on issues affecting the wellbeing of Australian families

– the Australian community: to raise understanding and knowledge of family functioning.

A significant element of this strategy continues to be the delivery of the Institute’s national information exchange services, which include:• the Child Family Community Australia information exchange • the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault • the Closing the Gap Clearinghouse, which is focused on improving

understanding and outcomes for Indigenous families (delivered in partnership with the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare).

The major external factors that may affect the capacity of the Institute to achieve its outcome are its ability to absorb the potential impact of the efficiency dividend and the potential reduction in the capacity of other government agencies to commission research from the Institute. However, AIFS will maintain its responsiveness to changing policy priorities within budget constraints.

Program 1.1: Australian Institute of Family Studies

Program ObjectivesTo increase understanding of factors affecting how Australian families function by conducting research and communicating findings to policy-makers, service providers and the broader community, AIFS will manage its resources to: undertake high-quality, impartial research relating to the wellbeing of

families in Australia share the information and transfer the knowledge to identified target

audiences develop and value relationships with organisations that have a stake in

research, policy and practice influencing the wellbeing of families build organisational capability, culture, and a workforce that fosters the

delivery of high-quality research on family wellbeing

Program 1.1 Deliverables Research outputs, including research projects involving a range of data collection and analytical methods (including qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods), as well as undertaking longitudinal studies and analyses of major datasets such as the ABS census, and completing literature reviews and submissions to government inquiries.Communication activities, including: information exchange and clearinghouse activities publications such as Family Matters journal, research reports and papers,

articles in journals, and books published elsewhere conferences, seminars and forums hosted by AIFS websites and electronic publishing presentations by AIFS staff at conferences and forums related to the

wellbeing of families in Australia library helpdesk, bibliographic and other advisory services.

Section 3 presents explanatory tables and budgeted financial statements, which provide a comprehensive snapshot of agency finances for the 2012-13 budget year. It explains how budget plans are incorporated into the financial statements and provides further details of the reconciliation between appropriations and program expenses, movements in administered funds, special accounts and government Indigenous expenditure.


3.1.1 Movement of administered funds between yearsAIFS does not receive administered funds.3.1.2 Special accountsAIFS does not have a special account.3.1.3 Australian Government Indigenous ExpenditureAIFS does not have any Indigenous-specific expenditure.

205



3.2.1 Differences in agency resourcing and financial statementsThe agency resource statement (Table 1.1) provides a consolidated view of all the resources available to the agency in 2012–13. This includes equity injections and appropriation receivable that is yet to be drawn down to cover payables and provisions on the balance sheet. The income statement (Table 3.2.1) shows only the operating appropriation provided in 2012–13.

3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statementsIncome statement

AIFS is budgeting for a break-even position in 2012–13 and the forward years after adjusting for depreciation and amortisation expenses.The deficits are attributable to the depreciation costs for 2012–13 and forward years.Total expenses for AIFS for 2012–13 are expected to be $10.8 million, compared to $10 million in 2011–12.Balance sheetAIFS’ overall net asset position continues to enable it to maintain an adequate level of working capital. The net cash appropriation arrangements will reduce the net asset balance in the long term, depending on the level of department capital budget compared to the depreciation costs. Provisions for employee entitlements amounting to $2 million represent accruing leave entitlements for employees. Other liabilities relate mainly to lease payable and the lease incentive received from the landlord at the beginning of the lease term, recognised as a liability and amortised over the life of the lease (totalling approximately $0.6 million) and unearned revenue of approximately $1.3 million.Infrastructure, plant and equipment are not expected to change significantly over the reporting period. AIFS has budgeted for replacement of some desktop and laptop computers.Statement of cash flowsAIFS continues to have a level of cash reserves sufficient to maintain its operations.

Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency


The planned outcome of the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency is equality of opportunity in employment for women.


The Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA) is chartered through the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999 (EOWW Act) with both regulatory and educative functions and responsibilities. EOWA’s stated outcome is equality of opportunity in employment for women.It is EOWA’s objective that every working woman in Australia should have the same opportunities as her male counterparts.The EOWW Act covers private sector organisations with more than 100 employees. The EOWW Act currently requires relevant employers to develop a workplace program aimed at eliminating discrimination against women and to report annually to the agency on the program.

Throughout 2012–13 EOWA will work closely with approximately 9,000 employers to improve awareness and understanding about the issues impacting women’s workforce participation. EOWA will focus on report assessment, training, research and communications to deliver increased awareness of equal opportunity initiatives including paid maternity leave, reducing the gender pay gap, advancing merit-based opportunity and improving the quality of flexible working arrangements. The Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Amendment Bill 2012 (Bill) was introduced into Parliament on 1 March 2012. The Bill changes the name of the Act to the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (WGE Act) and the name of the agency to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. The WGE Act will strengthen the agency’s focus on gender equality, highlighting equal remuneration between women and men and caring responsibilities as key dimensions in achieving equal outcomes in the workplace. Subject to the Bill receiving Royal Assent, the agency will focus on implementing the new legislation and assisting employers to make the transition to the new arrangements. It will also promote public debate and awareness of the benefits of gender equality in the workplace, conduct leading edge research, profile best practice and provide guidance and practical solutions.

217

EOWA’s Research team provides up-to-date statistics and fact sheets on relevant workplace gender equality issues to assist reporting organisations and stakeholders. The team is also responsible for conducting and commissioning research projects on key equal opportunity issues in the workplace (for example, the Census of Women in Leadership), in line with EOWA’s vision.

Section 3 presents explanatory tables and budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of agency finances for the 2012–13 budget year. It explains how budget plans are incorporated into the financial statements and provides further details of the reconciliation between appropriations and program expenses, movements in administered funds, special accounts and government indigenous expenditure.


3.1.1 Movement of administered funds between yearsEOWA does not have any administered expenses.

3.1.2 Special accountsEOWA does not have any special accounts.

3.1.3 Australian Government Indigenous ExpenditureEOWA does not have any indigenous-specific expenditure.




EOWA has no differences in agency resourcing and financial statements.


Income and expenses

Employee benefits have increased due to the increase in staff numbers. This is due to the announcement of the Government’s reform package aimed at strengthening the EOWW Act and requiring the agency to focus on gender equality, highlighting pay equity and caring and unpaid responsibilities as key dimensions in achieving equal outcomes in the workplace. Own-source revenue will decrease year on year. This is primarily due to the fact that the agency will not be charging for workshops relating to the proposed reforms because this has been funded in the agency’s appropriations.

Indigenous Business Australia


INDIGENOUS BUSINESS AUSTRALIA




239

Indigenous Business Australia


The planned outcome of Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) is stimulating the economic advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.


IBA’s vision is for a nation in which the First Australians are economically independent and an integral part of the economy. Under its legislation, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005, IBA’s purpose is to:

• assist and enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self management and economic self-sufficiency

• advance the commercial and economic interest of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders by accumulating and using a substantial capital base for the benefit of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

To achieve its purpose, IBA has established four key strategic objectives, under which its specific strategies and performance indicators are grouped:

• Accumulating an asset base for the benefit of Indigenous Australians. IBA implements an investment strategy aimed at a balanced portfolio generating returns for further investments and economic benefits for Indigenous Australians. These benefits include cash for further investments, improving employment opportunities and using the assets as the basis for developing small business opportunities. Initiatives are also implemented to support and develop the capacity of Indigenous joint venture partners

• Facilitating Indigenous Australians’ ownership of sustainable small business. IBA provides: services and support arrangements which enable potential entrepreneurs to build awareness and business skills prior to entering into business; concessional business loans to eligible customers; assistance with business mentoring to customers after entering into business and intensive loan and customers aftercare. IBA also facilitates access to other business support services and mainstream finance where appropriate

• Bridging the gap in home ownership through concessional home loans and assistance with ongoing loan management and other aspects of home ownership. These services are provided for aspiring Indigenous home owners who cannot access bank loans. IBA also promotes awareness and informed choice of home ownership options and facilitates access to mainstream finance where appropriate

• Promoting and encouraging economic independence for Indigenous Australians. IBA maximises the opportunities for Indigenous employment

241

and training through its activities, undertakes or contributes to initiatives that support the development of Indigenous commercial capacity, and brokers partnerships with the private sector, Indigenous organisations and government to deliver support and services that promote Indigenous economic development.

Section 2: Outcomes and program performance


Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs that contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.IBA’s outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of IBA in achieving government outcomes.

Outcome 1Improved wealth acquisition to support the economic independence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through commercial enterprise, asset acquisition, construction and access to concessional home and business loans.

Outcome 1 Strategy

IBA utilises a suite of commercially focused Indigenous economic development programs to enhance Indigenous economic self-sufficiency. IBA delivers flexible and concessional interest rate loan products and aftercare support to improve Indigenous home ownership in towns and cities and on Indigenous-held land. IBA also provides concessional interest rate business loans and business support to increase Indigenous ownership of small- to medium-sized enterprises. For larger investment projects, IBA brings together private sector partners with Indigenous individuals and groups, co-investing in joint venture projects that provide both commercial returns and a direct transfer of business skills and acumen to Indigenous partners. IBA offers a holistic approach to Indigenous economic and commercial development which includes close engagement with private sector operators who share the vision of encouraging Indigenous participation in the mainstream economy.

Program 1.2: Indigenous Home Ownership

250


Program 1.2 ObjectiveProgram 1.2 aims to facilitate Indigenous Australians into home ownership by addressing barriers such as lower incomes and savings, credit impairment and limited experience with loan repayments. The Program is focused on first home buyers who have difficulty obtaining home loan finance from mainstream commercial lenders. The program also helps Indigenous people in remote Indigenous communities, where there is appropriate tenure for home ownership, overcome additional barriers, such as a lack of access to financial institutions and services, higher construction costs, the absence of established residential property markets and newly created land tenure arrangements. The program’s success is assessed in terms of increasing the percentage of Indigenous Australians who are home owners.Program 1.2 ExpensesBudgeted departmental expenses include the administrative costs for delivering the program, including activities involved in facilitated home ownership opportunities in remote and Indigenous communities, as well as legal, administrative and operating costs associated with undertaking lending and managing IBA’s loan portfolios. The increase in departmental costs in budget year is attributable to increase in lending capital due to the integration of programs (see 3.2.2) and resultant impact of the increase in fair value write down of the incremental loans written.

Program 1.3: Business Development and Assistance


Program 1.3 ObjectiveIBA works with Indigenous Australians to assist them to succeed in business. The focus is on the sustainable viability of the business, as distinct from simply getting into business.This objective is achieved primarily through the provision of affordable business loans and support services to assist customers to successfully establish business. Support services include assistance with business growth, consolidation, planning for succession or exiting their business, or to improve their management skills which improve prospects for long-term success.Program 1.3 ExpensesProgram expenses are expected to remain relatively constant for the foreseeable future.

Program 1.3 Key Performance IndicatorsIBA has an integrated suite of products: business loans, business support and economic development initiatives (EDIs). Business loans provide clients with affordable finance. Business support assists clients to plan their proposed business and assess its viability, and to access business management training and mentoring in the critical first year of being in business. EDIs support projects that overcome barriers to Indigenous people owning and operating successful businesses; facilitate the development of business-related skills, knowledge, information and assistance; and research economic opportunities.

Appropriations




There are no differences between IBA’s agency resourcing and financial statements.


An analysis of the primary causes of movements in the budgeted financial statements is provided below. The 2011–12 estimated actual results are used as the comparative year in the analysis.IBA budgets are prepared on a consolidated basis for the agency and its 37 subsidiaries. On consolidation, assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of all subsidiaries flow through to individual line items in the consolidated budget.The Government agreed to consolidate the Home Ownership on Indigenous Land (HOIL) Program with the Home Ownership Program (HOP), creating an integrated home loan capital program. Accumulated HOIL capital and grants appropriations amounting to $68.3 million will be transferred into the integrated program in 2012–13. In addition, future capital receipts of $19.5 million per annum under the HOIL Program, and the excess of future revenue receipts of $4.7 million for targeted HOIL expenditure over actual expenditure will also be transferred to capital for the integrated program. It is expected that as a result an additional $85 million would be lent under the new program, and an additional 275 loans will be achieved in 2012–13.Budgeted agency income statementIBA is budgeting for an operating surplus of $26.7 million in 2011–12 and an estimated deficit of $20.2 million in 2012–13. The operating deficit for budget year 2012–13 is primarily driven by high levels of valuation losses on the loan portfolio. IBA loans have concessional interest rates and, in line with international accounting standards, the portfolio balances are effectively written-down in IBA’s book to reflect a truer market value. The impact of increasing new loan approvals for 2012–13 from $100 million to $185 million would have an effect of sharply increasing the loan valuation discount under AASB 139 from $25.5 million to $57.4 million for the year. The consequent increased write down during the year will result a net deficit of $20.2 million in 2012–13.Budgeted agency balance sheetBudgeted net assets as at 30 June 2013 of $1,060 million represents an increase of $17 million over the net assets of $1,043 million as at 30 June 2012. The main drivers are:• continuing capital injections from government of $37.5 million

258


• offset by the estimated operating deficit of $20.2 million.


Statement of cash flowsNet lending activity is expected to increase from $50 million in 2011–12 to $172 million in 2012–13 with the additional lending resulting from the integration of the HOIL Program and HOP in 2012–13. Statement of changes in equityTotal equity is expected to increase by $17 million to $1,060 million as at 30 June 2013, with the additional equity injection of $37.5 million from the Commonwealth offset by the budget year deficit of $20.2 million.

Represents appropriation from government to Indigenous Business Australia for the delivery of IBA‘s three programs in pursuit of its single outcome. Increases in the ordinary annual appropriations are a result of new measures and variations explained in Section 2. Expenses – depreciation and amortisation

Property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation.Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each balance date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Concessional Loan discountIBA continues to designate its loan portfolio at fair value through profit and loss per paragraph 11A of AASB 139, which provides for contracts with embedded derivatives, such as prepayment options, to be designated at fair value through profit and loss. The variation in the loan portfolio under fair value basis is written directly to the income statement. Financial assets – receivables

This includes loans and advances made by IBA to clients in the delivery of its outputs, in addition to amounts owing to IBA for delivery of goods and services, and dividends owed to IBA from subsidiaries, associates and investments. Loans receivable are carried at fair value under AASB 139.Assets – non-financialExcept for any re-valued assets, reported value of plant and equipment represents the purchase price paid less depreciation incurred.Land and building held for investment are carried at fair value.

Indigenous Land Corporation



The Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) is an independent Australian Government statutory authority established to provide economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits for Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders by assisting with acquisition and management of land. The ILC was established on 1 June 1995, and is governed by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005 (ATSI Act). The ATSI Act provides that the ILC has two functions: land acquisition and land management. The ILC’s functions are to be exercised “in addition to, not instead of” the functions conferred on other agencies (section 191F(3)).

The ILC has three priorities for the achievement of Indigenous benefits through acquiring and managing land:• access to and protection of cultural and environmental values• socio-economic development• access to education.The ILC’s primary source of income is an annual payment of $45 million indexed from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land Account (Land Account) pursuant to section 193C (3) of the ATSI Act. The Land Account is administered by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). The Board is the ILC’s primary decision-making body and sets out the ILC’s strategic direction, policies and strategies in the National Indigenous Land Strategy 2007–12 (to be revised during 2012–13). The Board oversees governance of the ILC’s administration, considers land acquisition and land management proposals, and monitors performance. The ILC provides assistance with land acquisition and land management through calling for applications from Indigenous organisations and landholders, and initiating projects to respond to opportunities to deliver significant Indigenous benefits. Key strategic priorities for the ILC will continue to be the achievement of training and employment outcomes and collaboration with other government agencies, industry, peak Indigenous organisations and the non-government sector. These collaborations bring additional expertise, funding and resources to achieve a more significant impact.

275

The ILC is committed to monitoring and evaluating its Land Acquisition and Land Management Program to ensure benefits are being achieved and progress is made towards achieving its outcome. The ILC has evaluation and benefits frameworks that guide it in monitoring its performance and informing its strategic planning.

1.3 Budget measures

The ILC has no budget measures.




Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs which contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.

Each outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of Indigenous Land Corporation in achieving government outcomes.

Outcome 1

Enhanced socio-economic development, maintenance of cultural identity and protection of the environment by Indigenous Australians through land acquisition and management.

Outcome 1 strategy

The statutory purpose of the ILC is to assist Indigenous people to acquire and manage land to achieve economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits.

The National Indigenous Land Strategy 2007–12 describes that the ILC will assist with the acquisition and management of land-based projects that achieve the following priorities.

Provide access to and protection and maintenance of land with cultural and environmental values

The ILC recognises the importance of land to Indigenous peoples’ cultural identity. Indigenous people can apply for assistance with land acquisition and management of land with cultural and environmental significance, and to protect and maintain the cultural and environmental values of land.

Deliver socio-economic outcomes for Indigenous people

The ILC assists projects that deliver social and economic outcomes for Indigenous Australians. Priority is given to projects that provide sustainable employment and training that leads to employment. The ILC believes that


sustainable employment creates benefits for Indigenous people, including increased standards of living, income and improved health and wellbeing.

In 2012–13 the ILC will call for applications that achieve these outcomes, including assisting Indigenous landholders to develop viable businesses and sustainably manage their land. In addition, the ILC will continue to operate employment and training projects on agricultural and tourism businesses to host Indigenous trainees and transition them to employment.

Provide Indigenous youth access to education

The ILC believes that education is crucial to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage and collaborates with responsible agencies, including DEEWR and FaHCSIA, to establish projects that assist young Indigenous people, especially in remote and regional Australia, to access education. In 2012–13, the ILC will continue to collaborate with other agencies to acquire land, and/or establish student hostels on Indigenous-held land, to assist Indigenous students to gain access to education.

Aligning with government priorities

In pursuing achievements against these priorities, the ILC seeks to build a secure and sustainable land base now and for future generations. Achievements will also contribute to the following Closing the Gap targets: halving the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade; and halving the gap for Indigenous students in Year 12 attainment or equivalent attainment rates by 2020.Indigenous-owned or -controlled land is included in the report Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage (2011) as an indicator of economic participation and development and of the social and cultural relationship between Indigenous people and their land. In 2010, Indigenous-owned or -controlled land comprised 16 per cent of the area of Australia (excluding native title lands). Approximately 4.7 per cent of Indigenous-held land in Australia has been acquired by the ILC.The ILC will continue to make important contributions to the Indigenous Economic Development Strategy through the creation of Indigenous enterprises and the implementation of its training to employment model in its agricultural and tourism businesses.

Program 1.1 Key Performance IndicatorsParticipation in training and employment are the key indicators used for measuring progress in achieving socio-economic development. To recognise its relative contribution to the benefits delivered, the ILC counts those people it directly employs and hosts on its businesses separately from those jobs it has enabled through acquisition of land or land management assistance.To measure progress in achieving access to education, a KPI that specifically relates to the construction of hostels in regional Australia will be used.Indigenous organisations apply to the ILC for assistance in protecting the cultural and environmental values of land. This is measured through the proportion of ILC’s total projects, rather than a target number of properties.

ILC has no differences in agency resourcing and financial statements.


The ILC’s primary source of income is an annual payment of $45 million indexed from the Land Account pursuant to section 193C (3) of the ATSI Act. Estimated payments from the Land Account from 2012–13 forward have been provided by FaHCSIA, which is responsible for the administration of the Land Account. The total resources for the ILC’s Outcome include the income from the Land Account, and represent the funds available to ILC to carry out its legislated functions.Under its legislation, ILC has the flexibility to invest funds and to roll over funds not expended in previous years.Under section 191H of the ATSI Act, ILC has the specific power to invest moneys of ILC. In addition, section 193K of the ATSI Act specifically exempts ILC from section 18(3) of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act). This section deals with allowable investments. Earnings on these investments are represented in the Budgeted Departmental Comprehensive Income Statement.Under its legislation, ILC acquires land for the specific purpose of granting an interest in that land to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander corporation. ILC capitalises the land on purchase and makes an immediate provision for the grant equivalent to the purchase price. In the Budgeted Departmental Comprehensive Income Statement, the expenses associated with the purchase and grant of the land are recognised in the period in which the land is purchased. Expenses associated with land management projects are recognised in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.ILC also holds properties for granting that have significant livestock on them. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, ILC values the livestock on a market-to-market basis. Accordingly, the change in market value in any given period is recognised in the Budgeted Departmental Comprehensive Income Statement.

Departmental financial statements and schedule of administered activity

ILC has no administered items.Asset valuationFrom 1 July 2005, in accordance with Australian Equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards, government agencies and authorities are required to use fair value basis to measure property, plant and equipment.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of accountingThe budgeted financial statements are a special purpose financial report.RoundingThe budgeted financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.Principles of consolidationThe consolidated budgeted financial statements are those of the economic entity, comprising ILC (the parent entity) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries other than Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia Pty Ltd that has been classified as a Public Non-Financial Corporation and is not a General Government Sector body.InvestmentsInvestments are recorded at their current cash-based valuation at reporting date.

Torres Strait Regional Authority


The planned outcome of the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) is:• Progress towards closing the gap for Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal

people living in the Torres Strait Region through development planning, coordination, sustainable resource management, and preservation and promotion of Indigenous culture.


The TSRA is a Commonwealth statutory authority which was established in 1994 under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Act 1989, now known as the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005. It is the peak Commonwealth representative body for Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal people living in the Torres Strait.The TSRA also performs separate functions under the Native Title Act 1993 as the Native Title Representative Body for the Torres Strait Region.The TSRA is required under section 142D of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005 to formulate and implement a plan to guide the progress of the Torres Strait region. This plan, known as the Torres Strait Development Plan, is updated every four years to be consistent with the term of the TSRA Board.In 2008–09 the TSRA finalised the Torres Strait Development Plan 2009–13, the fourth development plan since the establishment of the TSRA. The plan outlines seven new or revised TSRA program components (Economic Development; Culture, Art and Heritage; Native Title; Environmental Management; Governance and Leadership; Healthy Communities; Safe Communities), each of which has a number of desired outcomes and associated benefits.The Development Plan and its program components have been informed and driven by the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Plan 2009–29 and the goals and aspirations of the residents of the Torres Strait. The new TSRA vision, which is shared by both the Regional Plan and the Development Plan, is:• ‘Empowering our people, in our decision, in our culture, for our future’• ‘Ngalpun yangu kaaba woeydhay, a ngalpun muruygaw danalagan

mabaygal kunakan palayk, bathayngaka’ (KALA LAGAU YA)• ‘Buaigiz kelar obaiswerare, merbi mir apuge mena obakedi, muige merbi

areribi tonarge, ko merbi keub kerkerem’ (MERIAM MIR)

The Development Plan has also been designed to align with the COAG Building Blocks and to contribute to the Indigenous-specific outcomes of the national partnership agreements as outlined in the National Indigenous Reform Agreement.A key area of externally focused activity for the TSRA in 2012–13 will be continuing to drive the regional planning processes, including improving the integration of service delivery between governments at all levels working in the region. The TSRA will also dedicate considerable time to engaging with local stakeholders, informing them of the new Development Plan and associated changes, and supporting their adaptation to the new environment.The Torres Strait Ranger Project will continue to expand over the coming year. This dedicated ranger project will play a central role in the TSRA’s Environmental Management Program component, as it will be used to deliver a variety of land and sea management activities identified in the Land and Sea Management Strategy, the Regional Investment Strategy for the Torres Strait, and the Marine Turtle and Dugong Management Plan for each of the participating communities.The TSRA will work closely with primary health care stakeholders to enhance the efficacy and effectiveness of National Health Reforms in 2012–13. Through its Healthy Communities program, the TSRA will also monitor and provide strategic policy advice regarding health service delivery in the region and contribute to ensuring that health services and systems are equal to national standards.The Major Infrastructure Program, begun in 1998 as a bilateral commitment with the Queensland Government to deliver essential and sustainable environmental health infrastructure in the Torres Strait region, has also been extended into Stage 5. Key deliverables include water supply and reticulation; sanitation and wastewater; community roads and drainage; serviced housing lots; and asset sustainability, requiring matching funding from the Queensland Government.

Section 2: Outcomes and program performance


Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs that contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.

Each outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of the Torres Strait Regional Authority in achieving government outcomes.

Outcome 1Progress towards closing the gap for Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal people living in the Torres Strait Region through development planning, coordination, sustainable resource management, and preservation and promotion of Indigenous culture.

Outcome 1 Strategy

The TSRA is focused on the delivery of outcomes and realisation of measurable benefits. The program components contribute to the achievement of the goals of the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Plan 2009–29 and to closing the gap in Indigenous disadvantage.The Development Plan is an action plan with a focus on delivering outcomes and benefits for the Indigenous people of the Torres Strait region. This and subsequent development plans will contribute to achieving the outcome statement for the TSRA.The Development Plan contains both short and long term objectives, some of which will not be achieved fully within the four-year life of the Plan. The phasing of objectives reflects the Australian Government’s long-term goals of generational change and impact.The Program 1 Objective is delivered through seven component programs which are derived from the Torres Strait Development Plan 2009–2013. These are:• Economic Development• Culture, Art and Heritage• Native Title• Environmental Management

Program 1.1: Torres Strait Regional Development

Program 1.1 ObjectiveIn November 2008, the Torres Strait Regional Authority Board endorsed the following Outcome statement: ‘Progress towards closing the gap for Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal people living in the Torres Strait Region through development planning, coordination, sustainable resource management, and preservation and promotion of Indigenous culture.’

Program 1.1 ExpensesThe variation in expenses in 2012 reflects the change in policy initiatives associated with the Remote Jobs and Communities Program and the effect of indexation.Funding provided to TSRA, via funding agreements from independent sources, that remain unspent at the end of the 2011-2012 financial year, will be expensed during the 2012-2013 financial year.

309


Program 1.1 DeliverablesOver the past year, the TSRA has undertaken a coordination role in bringing together key government agencies to work in partnership towards integrated planning and improved service delivery. The results of those consultations have been refined by elected representatives of TSRA and local government councils into a regional vision and goals statement, the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsular Area Regional Plan 2009–2029. The Regional Plan provides regional goals to guide the strategic policy of all government service providers.The TSRA is addressing these goals through an integrated portfolio of seven programs as set out in our current 2009–2013 Development Plan.The program outcomes are all congruent with TSRA’s outcome statement. Performance indicators have been identified to show whether progress is being made in achieving outcomes and benefits. The benefits are measurable and meaningful improvements that result from outcomes. Deliverables for each program component as at the publication date of these PB Statements are:Economic Development program component Increased number of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal individuals in

employment Increased number of approved TSRA loans Increase in the annual total catch of marine resources (finfish and Kaiar

There are no differences between TSRA’s Portfolio Budget Statements and the Commonwealth’s Budget Management System.


Budgeted comprehensive income statement

This statement provides a picture of the expected financial results for the TSRA by identifying full accrual expenses and revenues, which highlights whether the TSRA is operating at a sustainable level. TSRA is forecasting income of $53.3 million and expenditure of $53.3 million resulting in a breakeven result for the 2012–13 fiscal year.Budgeted departmental balance sheet

This statement shows the financial position of the TSRA. It helps decision-makers to track the management of assets, liabilities and equity. TSRA’s forecast balance sheet for the fiscal year ending June 2013 shows TSRA with total assets of $61.32 million and liabilities of $9.2 million, resulting in a net asset position of $52.12 million.Budgeted departmental statement of cash flows

The budgeted cash flows, as reflected in the statement of cash flows, provide important information on the extent and nature of cash flows by categorising them into expected cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.Predicted departmental cash flows have been adjusted to reflect the anticipated impact on cash after taking into account the forecast movements in the balance sheet and comprehensive income statement. The agency is forecasting a favourable cash position of $15.92 million for the fiscal year ending June 2013. The favourable cash position is due to the timing across fiscal years between receipt of income and program expenditure commitments.

Basis of accounting

The budgeted financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Finance Minister’s Orders issued by the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. Amounts in these statements are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.Departmental financial statements and schedule to administered activity

Under the Australian Government’s financial budget and reporting framework, transactions that agencies control (departmental transactions) are separately budgeted for and reported on from transactions agencies do not have control over (administered transactions). This ensures that agencies are only held fully accountable for the transactions over which they have control.Departmental items are those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to an agency or authority that are controlled by the agency. Departmental expenses include employee and supplier expenses and other administrative costs, which are incurred by the agency in providing its goods and services.TSRA has no administered items.Revenue from government – ordinary annual appropriations

Revenue from government represents amounts appropriated to fund the TSRA’s seven program components, actioned in order to deliver the agency’s stated outcome.Expenses – depreciation

Property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, using in all cases the straight-line method of depreciation.Asset valuation

All assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment and other infrastructure assets are periodically revalued at their fair value.Financial assets – cash

This includes notes and coins held and deposits at call.Financial assets – receivables

This includes loans and advances made by the TSRA to clients in the delivery of its programs, in addition to amounts owing to the TSRA for delivery of goods and services. Loans receivable are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.

Glossaryaccrual accounting System of accounting in which items are

brought to account and included in the financial statements as they are earned or incurred, rather than as they are received or paid.

accumulated depreciation

The aggregate depreciation recorded for a particular depreciating asset.

Additional Estimates Where amounts appropriated at Budget time are insufficient, Parliament may appropriate more funds to portfolios through the Additional Estimates Acts.

administered funds Usually, the funds or expenses an agency manages on behalf of the Government.

administered items Appropriation that consists of funding managed on behalf of the Commonwealth. This funding is not at the discretion of the agency, and any unspent appropriation is returned to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) at the end of the financial year. An administered item is a component of an administered program. It may be a measure but will not constitute a program in its own right.

annual appropriation Two appropriation Bills are introduced into Parliament in May and comprise the Budget. Further Bills are introduced later in the financial year as part of the additional estimates. Parliamentary departments have their own appropriations.

appropriation An amount of public money parliament authorises for spending (i.e. funds to be withdrawn from the CRF). Parliament makes laws for appropriating money under the Annual Appropriation Acts and under special appropriations, with spending restricted to the purposes specified in the Appropriation Acts.

This Bill proposes spending from the CRF for the ordinary annual services of Government. Once the Bill is passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent, it becomes the Appropriation Act (No. 1).

325

Appropriation Bill (No. 2)

This Bill proposes spending from the CRF for purposes other than the ordinary annual services of Government. Under existing arrangements between the two Houses of Parliament (the ‘Compact’), this Bill includes appropriation funding of administered expenses for new outcomes, for payments to the states and territories, and for departmental or administered capital. Funding for extensions to existing programs can be included in Appropriation Bill (No. 1). Once the Bill is passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent, it becomes the Appropriation Act (No. 2).

Appropriation Bills (Nos 3 and 4)

If an amount provided in Appropriation Acts (No. 1 or 2) is not enough to meet approved expenditure to be paid in a financial year, supplementary appropriation may be sought in Appropriation Bills (No. 3 or 4). Once these Bills are passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent, they become the Appropriation Acts (Nos 3 and 4). However, they are also commonly referred to as the Additional Estimates Bills.

assets Future economic benefits controlled by an entity as a result of past transactions or other past events.

average staffing level The average number of employees receiving salary/wages (or compensation in lieu of salary/wages) over a financial year, with adjustments for casual and part-time employees to show the full-time equivalent.

capital expenditure Expenditure by an agency on capital projects, for example purchasing a building.

Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997(CAC Act)

Sets out the financial management, accountability and audit obligations on Commonwealth statutory authorities and companies in which the Commonwealth has at least a direct controlling interest.

Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF)

The principal operating fund from which money is drawn to pay for the activities of the Government. Section 81 of the Australian Constitution provides that all revenue raised or monies received by the Executive Government forms one consolidated revenue fund from which appropriations are made for the purposes of the Australian Government.

employment income Income that is earned, derived or received from remunerative work undertaken by an employee in an employer–employee relationship or through self-employment.

equity or net assets Residual interest in the assets of an entity after deduction of its liabilities.

estimates An agency’s expected revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. They are prepared for each output in the Budget, in consultation with the Department of Finance and Deregulation. (See also Forward Estimates and Additional Estimates).

expenses Total value of all of the resources consumed in producing goods and services or the loss of future economic benefits in the form of reductions in assets or increases in liabilities of an entity.

Glossary

grants Non-reciprocal transfers of economic resources, in which the payer agency does not receive approximately equal value in return.

key performanceindicators

Qualitative and quantitative measures of an output that provide a guide on performance where direct causal links are not obvious and changes in performance are difficult to measure directly.

measure A new policy or savings decision of the Government with financial impacts on the Government’s underlying cash balance, fiscal balance, operating balance, headline cash balance, net debt or net worth.

Mid Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook

Provides an update of the Government’s budget estimates by examining expenses and revenues year to date, as well as provisions for new decisions that have been taken since the Budget. The report provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government’s fiscal performance against the fiscal strategy set out in its current fiscal strategy statement.

operating result Equals revenue less expenses.outcome The intended result, consequence or impact of

government actions on the Australian community.

outcome statement Articulates the intended results, activities and target group of an Australian Government agency. An outcome statement serves three main purposes within the financial framework:• to explain and control the purposes for

which annual appropriations are approved by the Parliament for use by agencies

• to provide a basis for annual budgeting, including (financial) reporting against the use of appropriated funds

• to measure and assess agency and program (non-financial) performance in contributing to government policy objectives.

outputs The goods and services produced by agencies on behalf of Government for external organisations or individuals. Outputs also include goods and services for other areas of government external to the agency.

328

Glossary

payment accuracy The FaHCSIA measure of the proportion of current year outlays paid accurately, for use in the financial statements and annual report. The base figure is calculated as the gross value of the fortnightly variation amounts (the amount payments are either increased or reduced by) divided by total fortnightly amounts paid to sampled customers subtracted from 100% to give payment accuracy. This figure is a point in time estimate, so it does not count mispayment for prior periods where the customer is paid accurately at the time of review, but includes all variations regardless of fault. The estimate is weighted by the size of the mispayment; for example, a $0.05 upward variation will not affect the total as much as a $450.00 cancellation.

performance information

Evidence about performance that is collected and used systematically. Evidence may relate to appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency. It may be about outcomes, factors that affect outcomes, and what can be done to improve them.

portfolio A Minister’s area of responsibility as a member of Cabinet. A portfolio consists of one or more Departments of State (Portfolio Departments) and agencies with similar general objectives and outcomes.

price The amount the government or community pays for the delivery of agreed outputs.

primary carer Defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS cat no. 4430.0, p. 77) as a person who provides the most informal assistance, in terms of help or supervision, to a person with one or more disabilities. The assistance has to be ongoing, or likely to be ongoing, for at least six months and be provided for one or more of the core activities (communication, mobility and self-care).

program An activity that delivers benefits, services or transfer payments to individuals, industry and/or the community as a whole, with the aim of achieving the intended result specified in an outcome statement.

329

Glossary

receipts The total or gross amount received by the Commonwealth. Each receipt item is either revenue, an offset within outlays, or financing transactions. Receipts include taxes, interest, charges for goods and services, borrowings and Government Business Enterprise dividends received.

revenue Total value of resources earned or received to cover the production of goods and services, or increases in future economic benefits in the form of increases in assets or reductions in liabilities of an entity.

Senate Legislation Committee

A body of Senators that examines the use of government funding. Its purpose is to question government officials about the estimates and activities of their respective agencies.

special accounts Balances existing within the CRF that are supported by standing appropriations (FMA Act ss. 20 and 21). Special accounts allow money in the CRF to be acknowledged as set aside (hypothecated) for a particular purpose. Amounts credited to a special account may only be spent for the purposes of the special account. Special accounts can only be established by a written determination of the Finance Minister (FMA Act, s. 20) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in s. 21 of the FMA Act).

special appropriation (including standing appropriations)

An amount of money appropriated by a particular Act of Parliament for a specific purpose and number of years. For special appropriations, the authority to withdraw funds from the CRF does not generally cease at the end of the financial year.Standing appropriations are a subcategory consisting of ongoing special appropriations; the amount appropriated will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.
