USER GUIDE TO THE

PORTFOLIO ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES STATEMENTS

vii

USER GUIDE The purpose of the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the 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. The focus of the PAES differs from the PB Statements in one important aspect. While the PAES includes an agency resource statement to inform Parliament of the revised estimate of the total resources available to an agency, the focus of the PAES is on explaining the changes in resourcing by outcome since the Budget. As such, the PAES provides information on new measures and their impact on the financial and/or non-financial planned performance of programmes supporting those outcomes.

The PAES facilitates understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (No. 3 and No. 4) 2013–14. In this sense, the PAES is declared by the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills to be a ‘relevant document’ to the interpretation of the Bills according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Whereas the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013–14 is a mid-year budget report which provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government’s fiscal performance against its fiscal strategy, the PAES updates the most recent budget appropriations for agencies within the portfolio.

SOCIAL SERVICES PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW This document provides information about the changes within the Social Services portfolio since the publication of the 2013–14 Portfolio Budget (PB) Statements.

Ministers and portfolio responsibilities

There have been significant changes to the portfolio since the 2013–14 PB Statements, arising from the Administrative Arrangements Order (AAO) of 18 September 2013. The new ministers and parliamentary secretaries responsible for the portfolio and its agencies are:

• the Hon. Kevin Andrews MP, Minister for Social Services

• Senator the Hon. Mitch Fifield, Assistant Minister for Social Services

• Senator the Hon. Marise Payne, Minister for Human Services

• Senator the Hon. Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Social Services.

In addition, there have been significant changes to the structure of the portfolio, as detailed below.

Overview of additional estimates sought for the portfolio

Additional appropriations of $61.04 million are being sought through Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2013–14 as a result of new measures and variations. In addition, these statements reflect increased estimates of $23.15 billion for the portfolio’s special appropriations.

Structure of the portfolio

The new portfolio structure, arising from the AAO of 18 September 2013, includes additional functions relating to ageing and aged care, multicultural affairs and settlement services, all Social Security Act 1999 income support policies, disability employment services, and civil society and volunteering. All Indigenous functions and Indigenous portfolio bodies, and those functions related to the Office for Women, have been transferred to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C). The Workplace Gender Equality Agency has been transferred to the Employment portfolio.

Portfolio overview

The portfolio now comprises two administrative entities, two prescribed agencies, two statutory office holders and one statutory body under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) and an agency under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act). See Figure 1 for further information.

The following operate under the FMA Act:

• Department of Social Services

• Department of Human Services

• Australian Aged Care Quality Agency1

• Australian Institute of Family Studies

• Aged Care Commissioner

• Aged Care Pricing Commissioner

• Social Security Appeals Tribunal.2

The following operates under the CAC Act:

• National Disability Insurance Agency.3

The Social Services portfolio contains the Department of Human Services (DHS) and associated bodies, as it is designated as part of the Social Services portfolio under the AAO of 18 September 2013. DHS is administered separately to the Department of Social Services (DSS). Details of the allocation of resources for DHS can be found in DHS’ 2013–14 Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES).

1 Formerly the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency Ltd. 2 The Social Security Appeals Tribunal is not legally separate from the Department as it is not a statutory agency for the purposes of the Public Service Act 1999, or a prescribed agency under the FMA Act. 3 Formerly DisabilityCare Australia. Appearing as DisabilityCare Australia in the FaHCSIA 2013–14 PB Statements, commencing with the DSS 2013–14 PAES it will be referred to as the National Disability Insurance Scheme or the National Disability Insurance Agency, as appropriate.

Section 1: Agency overview and resources

1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT

Following the Administrative Arrangements Order (AAO) of 18 September 2013, the Department of Social Services (DSS) assumed policy responsibility for: families and children; housing; community services; seniors; disability and carers; women; ageing and aged care; disability employment services; working age and student payments; settlement and multicultural services; and civil society and volunteering. See Figure 2 for further information (page 43).

A transitional outcome structure comprising 11 outcomes reflects the core areas in which DSS operates:

1. Families and Children

2. Housing

3. Community Capability and the Vulnerable

4. Seniors

5. Disability and Carers

6. Women

7. Indigenous4

8. Aged Care and Population Ageing

9. Settlement Services

10. Multicultural Affairs

11. Disability Employment Services, and Working Age and Student Payments

The Office for Women (a component of Outcome 6) and Indigenous functions (Outcome 7) have transferred to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C). DSS continues to work closely with PM&C on tackling Indigenous disadvantage, advancing gender equality and improving the status and wellbeing of women in Australia.

4 Outcome 7 appears in the DSS outcome structure to report the part-year budget impact for which the former Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) had responsibility. The remainder of the appropriation is reported in PM&C’s 2013–14 Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements.

Department of Social Services Additional Estimates Statements

16

Updated outcome statements can be found in Section 2 of these Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES).

DSS aspires to be the Australian Government’s lead agency in the development and delivery of social policy and is working to improve the lifetime wellbeing of people and families in Australia.

DSS’ policies and services respond to need across people’s lives – looking after families, children and older people; providing a safety net for people who cannot fully support themselves; enhancing the wellbeing of people with high needs, assisting people who need help with care; and supporting a diverse and harmonious society.

DSS aims to support people and families to participate economically and socially in Australian society, while encouraging independence and participation.

Key priorities for 2013–14 As a result of the transfer of functions to DSS under the AAO of 18 September, some of DSS’ key priorities for 2013–14 have been amended.

Major initiatives in the 2013–14 PAES include significant investment in the roll-out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme; continuing to implement aged care reforms and the development of a high-level Aged Care Sector Statement of Principles; and implementation of a new Paid Parental Leave scheme.

Significant changes to Government priorities administered by DSS since the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) 2013–14 PB Statements are included below. A full outline of the strategic direction as it relates to the current functions of DSS can be found in the 2013–14 PB Statements for FaHCSIA, and the Departments of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations; Immigration and Citizenship; Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education; Health and Ageing; and PM&C.

Key changes to policy priorities since the 2013–14 budget

• Aged Care: DSS will work with aged care stakeholders to develop a high-level Aged Care Sector Statement of Principles, which will include work to streamline administrative burden and reduce red tape. DSS will also work with these stakeholders to repurpose the $1.1 billion funding related to the Aged Care Workforce Supplement.

• Paid Parental Leave: The Australian Government will deliver a Paid Parental Leave scheme to give eligible mothers six months leave based on their actual wage (capped at $150,000 equivalent), or the national minimum wage (whichever is greater), plus superannuation. The scheme will enhance child and maternal wellbeing by providing financial support to mothers while they are outside the paid workforce.


17

• Problem Gambling: The Government supports a national, venue-based voluntary pre-commitment programme for electronic gaming machines as part of a broader national policy approach to help problem gamblers. The Government will also end the trial of mandatory pre-commitment in the Australian Capital Territory and abolish the National Gambling Regulator and Supervisory Levy. The Government will establish an Industry Advisory Council on Gambling, comprised of representatives of clubs and gaming venues, to provide advice to the Minister for Social Services.

• Civil society and volunteering: DSS will lead the establishment of a National Centre for Excellence (NCE) and the Community Business Partnership (CBP). The role of the NCE will be to support innovation, provide education, reduce reporting and regulation, and represent the interests of charities and civil society agencies to government. The CBP will bring together leaders from the business and community sectors to promote philanthropic giving in Australia.

• Schoolkids Bonus: The Government is committed to repealing the Schoolkids Bonus. The Minerals Resource Rent Tax Repeal and Other Measures Bill 2013, which includes the repeal of the Schoolkids Bonus, was introduced into Parliament on 13 November 2013, but is yet to be passed. Once this legislation is passed, no further payments of the Schoolkids Bonus will be made.

• Welfare Review: DSS is undertaking a review of the welfare payments system, with support from Mr Patrick McClure AO. The review will allow the Government to make informed decisions about encouraging workforce participation and about how to ensure expenditure can be managed into the future.

Outcome 1: Families and Children

Improved 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 An outline of the strategy for achieving Outcome 1 can be found in FaHCSIA’s 2013-14 PB Statements on pages 40–42. An outline of the objectives, deliverables and key performance indicators for Outcome 1 programmes can be found in FaHCSIA’s 2013–14 PB Statements on pages 44–55.

The following changes have an impact on the Outcome 1 strategy:

• From 1 July 2014, the rules for receiving family payments when overseas will change so that families who are temporarily overseas can only continue to receive payments for 56 weeks, rather than three years. These payments will include Family Tax Benefit Part A, Paid Parental Leave and Dad and Partner Pay.

• Consistent with the movement of responsibility for Indigenous affairs to PM&C, the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory – Child, Youth, Family and Community Wellbeing package no longer forms part of Outcome 1.

Outcome 3: Community Capability and the Vulnerable

Improved capacity for vulnerable people and communities to participate economically and socially and to manage the life-transitions through payments, targeted support services and community capability building initiatives.

Outcome 3 strategy An outline of the strategy for achieving Outcome 3 can be found in FaHCSIA’s 2013-14 PB Statements on pages 68–69. An outline of the objectives, deliverables and key performance indicators for Outcome 3 programmes can be found in FaHCSIA’s 2013–14 PB Statements on pages 72–87.

The following changes have an impact on the Outcome 3 strategy:

• On 18 September 2013, policy responsibility for civil society and volunteering transferred to DSS from PM&C. DSS also became responsible for providing support and advice to the Minister on the civil society agenda including the establishment of a National Centre for Excellence (NCE) and the Community Business Partnership (CBP). The role of the NCE will be to support innovation, provide education, reduce reporting and regulation, and represent the interests of charities and civil society agencies to government. The CBP will bring together leaders from the business and community sectors to promote philanthropic giving in Australia.

• The Government is committed to a national, best practice approach to gambling policy that will deliver real, meaningful and measurable support for problem gamblers. The Government has amendments to the National Gambling Reform Act 2012 before Parliament, including reducing the regulatory burden on the industry by abolishing the National Gambling Regulator and Supervisory Levy; restoring state and territory control over ATM placement and withdrawal limits; and developing and implementing venue-based, voluntary pre-commitment with a realistic timetable. In addition, the Government has committed to deliver more and better targeted counselling and support services and to develop more effective self-exclusion schemes. This approach to gambling policy will be developed and implemented through consultation with industry (through the Industry Advisory Council on Gambling), state and territory governments and other key community and academic representatives. This approach is enshrined in the proposed amendments to the National Gambling Reform Act 2012.

Changes have been made to the targets for ‘Average number of unique visitors per month to the My Aged Care website from 1 July 2103’. Targets assumed higher visitor rate due to an associated higher call forecast through the related telephone channel.

Outcome 11: Disability Employment Services, and Working Age and Student Payments

Improved employment, participation and skills development through direct financial support to people of working age and students that encourages workforce participation and training and the funding of disability employment services for people with a disability.

Outcome 11 strategy As a result of the AAO of 18 September 2013, Outcome 11 has been included in DSS’ outcomes to consolidate transferred functions from other departments, including:

• programmes 2.9 Student Assistance, 3.3 Disability Employment Services, and 3.5 Working Age Payments from the former DEEWR, and

• programme 3.3 Tertiary Student Assistance from the former Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIICCSRTE).

The strategy for this outcome is:

A skilled workforce is integral to Australia’s long-term productivity and economic prosperity.

Disability Employment Services and related programmes provide job seekers with disability access to a range of services to develop new skills and knowledge, gain sustainable employment and participate in society throughout their lives.

Working age payments assist people in the transition to work by supporting them to improve their prospects of gaining employment, acquire labour market skills and knowledge and participate in society.

Financial assistance is provided to people who are moving towards being self-sufficient and looking for work or undertaking employment preparation programmes/training, including those who have parenting responsibilities, and/or have a partial capacity to work due to disability, and young people.

Student support payments encourage and assist young people to access and remain in education and training, including increasing access and participation by Indigenous Australian students in vocational education and training and higher education and accelerating their educational outcomes.

Section 1: Agency overview and resources

1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT

The National Disability Insurance Agency (the Agency) was established on 29 March 2013 by the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (the Act) and became financially independent on 1 July 2013. The Agency’s 2013–14 Budget figures were reported as part of the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs Portfolio Budget Statements under Outcome 5.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) operates under the Act and in conjunction with other legislation to give effect to Australia’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. In so doing, the NDIS supports the independence and social and economic participation of people with disability by providing participants in the scheme with reasonable and necessary supports. The NDIS enables each participant to exercise choice and control in the pursuit of their goals and the planning and delivery of their supports. This will be achieved by adopting an insurance-based approach, informed by actuarial analysis, to the provision and funding of supports for people with disability.

Under the legislation, the key functions of the Agency are to:

• Deliver the NDIS;

• Manage, and to advise and report on, the financial sustainability of the NDIS;

• Develop and enhance the disability sector;

• Build community awareness of disabilities and the social contributors to disabilities;

• Collect, analyse and exchange data about disabilities and the supports for people with disability; and

• Undertake research relating to disabilities, the supports for people with disability and the social contributors to disabilities.

The Agency’s strategic objective, mission and goals are set out in the 2013–2016 Strategic Plan.

The success of the NDIS will be measured in accordance with the Integrated NDIS Performance Reporting Framework Annex to the Intergovernmental Agreement on the National Disability Insurance Scheme Launch.

National Disability Insurance Agency Additional Estimates Statements

• Hunter region in New South Wales;

• Barwon area in Victoria (including Geelong);

• South Australia (children aged 0-14 years); and

• Tasmania (young adults aged 15-24 years).

Additional trial sites are due to commence in the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory and Western Australia on 1 July 2014.

Notes to the financial statements The budgeted statements of income and expenditure, assets and liabilities and cash flows have been included for the financial years 2013–14 to 2016–17. These statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Government’s financial budget and reporting framework.

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

161

GLOSSARY accrual 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.

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 programme. It may be a measure but will not constitute a programme 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.

Appropriation Bills (No. 3 and No. 4)

If an amount provided in Appropriation Acts (No. 1 or No. 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 No. 4). Once these Bills are passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent, they become the Appropriation Acts (No. 3 and No. 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.

Glossary

average staffing level (ASL) 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.

Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997

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

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 form one consolidated revenue fund from which appropriations are made for the purposes of the Australian Government.

cross-portfolio budget measure

A budget measure that affects programmes administered in a number of portfolios.

departmental items Resources (assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses) that agency chief executive officers control directly. This includes outsourced activities funded and controlled by the agency. Examples of departmental items include agency running costs, accrued employee entitlements and net appropriations. A departmental item is a component of a departmental programme.

depreciation Apportionment of an asset’s capital value as an expense over its estimated useful life to take account of normal usage, obsolescence or the passage of time.

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 programme in the Budget, in consultation with the Department of Finance. (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

163

Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997

The principal legislation governing the proper use and management of public money and public property, and other Commonwealth resources. FMA Regulations and FMA Orders are made pursuant to the Act.

forward estimates The financial statement estimate for the three out years after the budget year.

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

key performance indicators

Qualitative and quantitative measures of a programme 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 (MYEFO)

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 assessment of the Government’s fiscal performance against the fiscal strategy set out in its current fiscal strategy statement.

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 programme (non-financial) performance in contributing to government policy objectives.

Glossary

164

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.

programme 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.

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.

special accounts Balances existing within the CRF that are supported by standing appropriations (FMA Act sections 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, section 20) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in section 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.
