USER GUIDE
The purpose of the 2019–20 Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements) is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to government outcomes by entities within the portfolio. Entities 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) 2019–20 (or Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2019–20 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, only entities within the general government sector are included as part of the Commonwealth general government sector fiscal estimates and produce PB Statements where they receive funding (either directly or via portfolio departments) through the annual appropriation acts.

DEPARTMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, REGIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AND CITIES
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities is at the forefront of the Australian Government's efforts to support great cities, strong regions and connect Australians.
The department contributes to improving infrastructure across Australia by facilitating investment that supports efficiency, access and safety of Australia's land transport infrastructure. This strengthens the Australian economy by improving connectivity of communities and freight, contributing to delivering jobs, improving living standards and building opportunities across Australia.
Our programs support increasing efficiency, sustainability, competitiveness, safety and productivity in our transport system. This is achieved by supporting national transport reform, connecting Australians with domestic markets and connecting the nation to the global economy, to support growth and competitiveness.
Australia’s future prosperity depends upon government, business and the Australian community working together to support our cities, big and small. We facilitate partnerships between government and local communities that help create jobs, drive economic growth and build stronger regional communities.
The department supports services to territories and works to ensure residents of non-self-governing territories have access to equivalent scope and quality of services provided to residents in similar sized mainland communities.
In delivering this program of work, the department supports the Australian Government’s efforts to build a strong and prosperous economy. Our work affects communities in cities, regions and towns across Australia.
Through eight Commonwealth programs, we work to achieve four outcomes:
Outcome 1 Improved infrastructure across Australia through investment in and coordination of transport and other infrastructure (Program 1.1).
Outcome 2 An efficient, sustainable, competitive, safe and secure transport system for all transport users through regulation, financial assistance and safety investigations (Programs 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3).
Outcome 3 Strengthening the sustainability, capacity and diversity of our cities and regional economies including through facilitating local partnerships between all levels of government and local communities; through reforms that stimulate economic growth; and providing grants and financial assistance (Programs 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3).
Outcome 4 Good governance in the Australian Territories through the maintenance and improvement of the overarching legislative framework for self-governing territories, and laws and services for non-self-governing territories (Program 4.1).
Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities
16
We pursue these outcomes through three key streams of work: managing and delivering programs; developing policy options and advice; and maintaining fit-for-purpose regulatory
frameworks. We support the government’s $100 billion infrastructure investment plan over
10 years, including the $9.3 billion investment in the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project and the $5.3 billion Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport. This work contributes to achieving a strong economy and thriving communities now and for the future.
The department will continue to consider a range of challenges and opportunities facing Australia in 2019–20. These include:
rapid population growth concentrated in our major cities;
transitioning regional economies, including regions facing diverse demographic,
climate and economic structural challenges;
a constrained civil infrastructure construction market;
growing demand for freight services, driven by domestic demand and international
trade;
a continued need to reduce road-related injuries and fatalities; and
disruptive technologies, including automated and remotely controlled technologies,
changes in communication technologies, and new tools for individuals, industry and
government to collect, manage and utilise data.
The performance sections of these statements provides further detail on activities conducted and the targets to be achieved in 2019–20.
For more information on the department's strategic direction and performance, please refer to the 2019–20 Corporate Plan which will be published by August 2019 at <www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/about/corporate-plan.aspx>.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for the department can be found at: <www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/about/corporate-plan.aspx>.
The most recent annual performance statement can be found at: <www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/annual_report/index.aspx>.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of the department’s finances for the 2019–20 Budget year, including the impact of Budget measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1 BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1 Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
Budgeted departmental income statement
Total expenses are estimated at $222.7m in 2019–20. The reduction in expenses over the forward estimates is primarily due to the profile of non-ongoing measures and expenses for the Business Grants Hub to administer various grant programs.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
The department’s major non-financial assets are Intangibles ($17.1m); Land and buildings
($16.6m), and Property, plant and equipment ($13.1m). The department’s primary liability
continues to be accrued employee leave entitlements, estimated at $43.2m.

Administered
Budgeted administered income statement
The department administers the collection of taxes, fees and fines, other non-taxation revenue and interest and dividends estimated at $511.5m in 2019–20, representing an increase of $1.3m from the 2018–19 estimated actual. The primary driver for movements in revenue is the uneven profile of concessional loans administered by the department.
Administered expenses are budgeted at $4,275.2m in 2019–20, representing a decrease of $738.4m from the 2018–19 estimated actual and will be incurred for the administered items set out at Section 2. The primary reason for the decrease was the bring-forward of funding from 2019–20 into 2018–19 for the Financial Assistance Grant program of $1.2 billion that resulted in lower than usual expenses for the program in 2019–20. This has been partially offset by an increase in expenses for new measures shown in Table 1.2.
Schedule of budgeted assets and liabilities administered on behalf of government
Total assets are expected to increase in 2019–20 by $1,669.8m from the 2018–19 estimated actual result to $11,094.1m. The increase relates mainly to an increase in investments and the profile of various loans.

AUSTRALIAN MARITIME SAFETY AUTHORITY
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is a statutory authority established under the Australian Maritime Safety Authority Act 1990 (AMSA Act) to:
• promote maritime safety and protection of the marine environment;
• prevent and combat ship-sourced pollution in the marine environment;
• provide infrastructure to support safety of navigation in Australian waters;
• provide a national search and rescue service to the maritime and aviation sectors;
• provide, on request, services to the maritime industry on a commercial basis; and
• provide, on request, services of a maritime nature on a commercial basis to the Commonwealth and/or states and territories.
AMSA regularly assesses its operating environment, challenges, goals and risks to identify key priorities for coming years.
In 2019–20 AMSA will continue to focus on strategic challenges and goals that reflect AMSA’s statutory responsibilities. AMSA’s objectives are consistent with the whole of government regulatory reform agenda and form the basis for the program objectives and outputs detailed in the following sections.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for AMSA can be found at: <www.amsa.gov.au/about/corporate-publications/corporate-plan-2018-19>.
The most recent annual performance statement, as part of the annual report, can be found at: < www.amsa.gov.au/about/corporate-publications/annual-report-2017-18>.
AMSA contributes to 1 Outcome and 1 Program, which is divided into 2 sub-programs:
Sub-program 1: Seafarer and ship safety and environment protection aims to achieve the first part of AMSA’s Outcome: Minimising the risk of shipping incidents and pollution in Australian waters through ship safety and environment protection regulation and services.
Sub-program 2: Search and rescue aims to achieve the second part of AMSA’s Outcome:

Notes: (a) A more comprehensive suite of measures are detailed in AMSA’s Corporate Plan, and are reported in the
Annual Performance Statements. (b) Measure has been updated and target has changed. A significant pollution incident is a
discharge of over 50,000 litres/50 tonnes. There have been three discharges in Australian waters of this scale in the last 20 years, and AMSA has reported a 0% result for over five years against the previous measure and target. In keeping with our vision of clean seas, in January 2019 AMSA committed to a simplified measure and new target of zero incidents.

AMSA provides the infrastructure for safety of navigation in Australian waters, and maintains a national search and rescue service for the maritime and aviation sectors.

Material changes to Program 1.1 resulting from the following measures:
There are no new measures with a material impact on the performance information for Program 1.1, Sub-program 1.1.2
Notes: (a) A more comprehensive suite of measures is detailed in AMSA’s Corporate Plan, and is reported in the
Annual Performance Statements. (b) Measure has been updated. A person is defined as ‘at risk’ if they have a chance of surviving the initial
maritime or aviation incident. Each search and rescue (SAR) incident reported to AMSA is triaged to assess the requirement to respond to a life at risk. Sometimes the assessment concludes that the life has already been lost, or AMSA is unable to determine if a life is actually at risk, i.e. false beacon activations. For those incidents which are assessed as requiring a response – i.e. a life is identified as being ‘at risk’ - it is important that AMSA measures the performance of resources available to AMSA to effect a rescue, which are ultimately reflected in the number of lives saved (n) and the percentage of lives saved from those at risk.
(c) Target includes new element. AMSA’s intention is to save all lives at risk. In practicality, the circumstances surrounding individual incidents – i.e. severe medical conditions requiring specialist treatment, bad weather - affect the possibility of success of a SAR response. This reality is reflected in the previous results reported by AMSA for this measure, ranging between 95-99% annually. For 2019–20 AMSA will report both a percentage and count (n).

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of the AMSA’s finances for the 2019–20 Budget year, including the impact of Budget measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1 BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1 Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
AMSA is projecting an overall budget operating surplus of $12.8m for the budget and forward years, comprising surplus of $2.1m, $4.9m, $3.2m and $2.6m from 2019–20 through to 2022–23 respectively. The estimated actual for 2018–19 is an operating surplus of $0.8m with revenue of $229.0m and expenditure of $228.2m.
From 1 July 2018, AMSA assumed full responsibility for service delivery under the National System. The financial statements for the Budget and forward estimates include the National System funding.
AMSA revenue
AMSA’s major revenue sources are:
levies collected from the shipping industry and appropriated under section 48 of the AMSA Act as special appropriations to fund AMSA’s ship safety and environment protection functions. In 2019–20, levy revenue is estimated to total $125.8m, which is $1.9m higher than the 2018–19 estimated levy revenue of $123.9m.
There are three types of levies - Marine Navigation (Regulatory Functions) Levy - funds AMSA’s shipping
regulatory functions; - Marine Navigation Levy - funds the national network of marine and aids to
navigation; and - Protection of the Sea Levy - funds activities related to pollution and emergency

AMSA may make determinations in fixing charges under section 47 of the AMSA Act, which requires fees and charges to reasonably relate to the costs incurred by AMSA in their provision. AMSA has a range of services with charges based on the average cost of delivering a specific service or the time taken to deliver the service multiplied by a standard hourly rate. These services include:
approvals, certificates and determinations for ships, cargo and ship safety equipment;
activities related to issuing certificates of competency to seafarers, including conducting practical oral examinations for navigation and engineering officers; and
assessment of sea time pre-requisites for qualifications, issuing and renewing coastal pilot licences and services provided by the Australian Shipping Registration Office.
AMSA estimates total revenue of $233.6m in the 2019–20 budget period compared to $229.0.m in the 2018–19 estimated actuals, as summarised in the table following.

AUSTRALIAN TRANSPORT SAFETY BUREAU
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
Key elements of the ATSB’s strategic direction
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is an independent statutory agency of the Australian Government. It is governed by a Commission and is entirely separate from transport regulators, policy makers and service providers. At the same time, it is required to cooperate with others who have a role to play in maintaining and improving transport safety, in particular its counterpart agencies in Victoria and New South Wales.
The ATSB performs its functions in accordance with the provisions of the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 (TSI Act) and, where applicable, relevant international agreements. The TSI Act makes it clear that, in carrying out its purpose, the ATSB cannot apportion blame, assist in determining liability or, as a general rule, assist in court proceedings. Its sole focus remains the prevention of future accidents and the improvement of safety.
The ATSB’s purpose is to improve the safety of, and public confidence in, aviation, rail and marine transport through:
the independent investigation of transport accidents and other safety occurrences;
safety data recording, analysis and research; and
fostering safety awareness, knowledge and action.
The ATSB is responsible for investigating accidents and other transport safety matters involving civil aviation, rail and interstate and overseas marine operations, as well as participating in overseas investigations involving Australian-registered aircraft and ships and cooperating more broadly with overseas counterparts. A primary focus of its work is the safety of commercial transport, with particular regard to operations involving the travelling public.
The ATSB maintains a national information set of all safety-related occurrences in aviation and of all accidents and significant safety occurrences in the rail and interstate and overseas marine sectors. The information it holds is essential to its capacity to analyse broad safety trends and inform its investigation and safety education work, as well as constituting an important public information resource. The ATSB is enhancing its capacity for a data driven approach to the performance of its investigation, research, communication and education functions.
The ATSB has a specific mandate to report publicly on its analysis and investigations, and to conduct public education programs so as to improve transport safety.
To achieve its primary outcome, the ATSB will implement the following strategies: continue to build its capability to source data nationally on aviation, rail and marine
transport safety occurrences and events and to use the data to identify and communicate safety risks and emerging trends;
commence and deliver investigations of accidents, incidents and safety issues that have the greatest potential to influence safety action, with a particular focus on the safety of the travelling public;
Australian Transport Safety Bureau
98
deliver a program of safety research and analysis that draws on the results of investigations and safety occurrence datasets;
continue to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the agency’s resources;
enhance its resource base through attracting, retaining and developing professional staff as well as developing networks with skilled professionals who the ATSB can work with to fulfil its transport safety functions;
undertake safety communication and education with an emphasis on identified priority areas where safety risk can be reduced;
increase awareness of the ATSB’s safety activities by developing a broader range of communication and education products and pursuing their delivery to transport industries and the travelling public through mediums that interact with a variety of stakeholders;
enhance stakeholder relationships, with a particular focus on ensuring a strong culture of reporting safety matters through transparent arrangements for the appropriate reporting, sharing and use of safety information;
engage with and, as appropriate, provide support to regional and international partners, focussing on developing cooperation in our region and on ensuring that safety lessons and operational innovations are shared internationally; and
continue to engage with transport reforms that have the potential to affect the ATSB’s jurisdiction across transport modes.
Detailed information about the ATSB’s primary outcome, key strategies, deliverables and performance indicators is published in the ATSB Corporate Plan at <www.atsb.gov.au>.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Note: (a) In February 2019, the ATSB made variations to some of its Deliverables and Key Performance Indicators
(KPI) to better reflect and measure the activities of the agency. As demonstrated by the revised KPIs associated with Complex and Short investigations, the ATSB is projecting more realistic measures around its capacity to complete these investigations. Further, the ATSB has removed a KPI that measured activities the agency cannot directly control. This former KPI ‘Safety action is taken by stakeholders to address valid safety concerns identified in confidential reports’ will continue to be reported through qualitative means.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of the ATSB’s finances for the 2019–20 Budget year, including the impact of Budget measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1 BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1 Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Budgeted departmental comprehensive income statement
The ATSB is planning for a break-even operating result, adjusted for depreciation and amortisation expense, in 2019–20 and the forward years.
Revenue
Net appropriation revenue of $20.2m will be provided to the ATSB in 2019–20.
The comprehensive income statement also includes estimates of the ATSB’s own source revenue of $4.2m which includes:
estimates of cost recoveries from Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania for safety investigations we undertake on their intrastate rail networks ($0.8m);
revenue from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for the ATSB’s participation in Australian Government transport safety initiatives including capability building activities as part of the Indonesia Transport Safety Assistance Package ($0.4m) and cooperation with Papua New Guinea ($0.2m); and
estimates of the value of the services the ATSB will receive free of charge from the Victorian Chief Investigator, Transport Safety, the NSW Office of Transport Safety Investigations and the Australian National Audit Office ($2.8m).
Expenses
Budgeted operating expenditure in 2019–20 is $25.1m, comprised of employee expenses (63%), supplier expenses (34%) and depreciation (3%).
ATSB’s available capital funds decline over the forward estimates period, reducing the amount of capital purchased and therefore the associated depreciation and amortisation expense will decrease.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
The ATSB's budgeted balance sheet at 30 June 2020 reflects the expected balances for its assets and liabilities as well as retained earnings and contributed equity, based on the projected operating result for 2018–19 and the Budget year.
The ATSB’s major non-financial assets are property plant and equipment ($1.4m) and intangibles ($0.75m). The ATSB’s primary liability continues to be accrued employee leave entitlements at $4.1m.

CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is an independent statutory authority established in 1995 under the Civil Aviation Act 1988. The main object of this Act is to establish a regulatory framework for maintaining, enhancing and promoting the safety of civil aviation, with particular emphasis on preventing aviation accidents and incidents.
In accordance with the Civil Aviation Act 1988 and the regulations, CASA has the function of conducting the safety regulation of:
the civil air operations in Australian territory; and
the operation of Australian aircraft outside Australian territory.
While safety regulation of civil aviation remains its primary role, CASA also provides safety education and training programs and has responsibility for airspace regulation.
AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT PRIORITIES AND CASA’S COMMITMENT TO AVIATION SAFETY
The Australian Government is committed to maintaining and enhancing safety as its number one priority in aviation. As Australia’s aviation safety regulator, CASA will support the Australian Government to maintain, enhance and promote the safety of civil aviation through the application of a detailed risk-based approach with particular emphasis to deliver the goals as set out in Table 2.2: Performance criteria for Outcome 1.
CASA will ensure the directions of the Australian Government, as presented in the Minister’s Statement of Expectations, are implemented effectively and efficiently. CASA’s corporate plan fully details the activities and initiatives to be undertaken by the organisation to meet the expectations.
The Australian Government has set out some clear objectives relevant to CASA including:
to continue to focus on aviation safety as the highest priority;
to consider the economic and cost impact on individuals, businesses and the community in the development and finalisation of new or amended regulatory changes;
to take a pragmatic, practical and proportionate approach to regulation as it applies to different industry sectors having regard to risk; and
to implement its regulatory philosophy, with the philosophy being reflected in relevant policies, procedures, manuals, and when CASA personnel are carrying out their day-to-day operations.
CASA’s comprehensive planning framework fully incorporates the Australian Government direction and ensures the relevant requirements are implemented effectively and efficiently. CASA aims to achieve its commitment to aviation safety through its three key goals. They are:
to maintain and enhance a fair, effective and efficient aviation safety regulation system;
to engage collaboratively with the wider aviation community to promote and support a positive safety culture; and
Civil Aviation Safety Authority
120
to continuously improve organisational performance.
Each goal is supported through a number of key performance areas (KPA) and indicators (KPI). The progress and achievement against the KPIs is monitored by a comprehensive performance management and reporting process. CASA will continue its commitment to making further improvements to the way it operates and continuously strive to achieve its high-level goals.
CHALLENGING AVIATION TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CASA
The aviation landscape is growing in complexity, including new aerodrome infrastructure and airspace management requirements, the rapid growth and complexity of remotely piloted aircraft systems (i.e. drones), the emergence of new technologies and materials, and the regulatory oversight of international carriers. The retention of specialist personnel in a challenging labour market is a matter of concern as are issues related to ageing aircraft and the oversight of infrastructure developments at aerodromes over the coming decade. Like other safety regulators around the world, CASA is cognisant of the need to ensure that safety-related considerations are at the forefront of CASA’s regulatory actions for the benefit of the aviation community and the wider community.
As a key priority, CASA continues to develop and implement new safety standards and regulations, taking into account the Australian Government’s regulatory reform agenda. CASA will stay abreast of changes within the aviation industry by carefully analysing safety and operational data to look for trends and emerging risks which need to be addressed. This approach will further focus CASA on its core activity - the regulation of aviation safety.
CASA’S FUNDING STRATEGY
CASA receives funding from three major sources: a Government annual appropriation; a 3.556 cent per litre excise on aviation fuel consumed by all domestic aircraft (all of which is provided to CASA); and regulatory service fees. Whilst CASA conducts surveillance and regulatory oversight of international carriers and airports, these do not contribute to the fuel excise funding model.
Government has decided that the current funding arrangements should remain in place for 2019–20, noting that there is increasing pressure on CASA’s budget with the demands arising from regulatory oversight of international carriers, new aerodrome infrastructure and airspace management requirements, together with the continued rapid growth and complexity of drones. These pressures will need to be monitored.
CASA FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS
CASA collects fees for regulatory services in accordance with the Civil Aviation (Fees) Regulations 1995.
During the 2018-19 MYEFO CASA was directed to come back in the 2019-20 MYEFO context with a detailed review of CASA’s regulatory activities and funding arrangements, including analysis of current funding sources and outputs, developed in consultation with the Department of Finance and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. This may include publishing a Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) which will outline CASA’s intent to introduce new simplified cost recovery arrangements.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
Corporate plans for CASA can be found at:

Table 2.2: Performance criteria for Outcome 1
Table 2.2 below details the performance criteria for each program associated with Outcome 1. It also summarises how each program is delivered and where 2019–20 Budget measures have created new programs or materially changed existing programs.
Outcome 1 – Maximise aviation safety through a regulatory regime, detailed technical material on safety standards, comprehensive aviation industry oversight, risk analysis, industry consultation, education and training.
Program 1.1
The following three objectives represent the regulatory services produced by the program in delivering its outcome.
1. Maintain and enhance a fair, effective and efficient aviation safety regulation system
CASA will focus its efforts on maintaining, enhancing and promoting aviation safety, as set out in the Civil
Aviation Act 1988 and in accordance with all Government directions. CASA’s work will centre on
monitoring compliance, continuing the Regulatory Implementation Program, continuing to reform the
Australian administered airspace and continuing effective enforcement to secure compliance with safety
standards.
2. Collaborative engagement with the aviation industry and wider community to promote and
support aviation safety.
CASA maintains a constructive working relationship with other Australian Government agencies and
promotes effective collaboration through consultation and communication with the wider aviation
community. CASA engages in a clear, open and transparent manner with the aviation industry through its
consultative forums, feedback channels, educational efforts and promotional campaigns, to continuously
improve the regulatory framework and be a partner in supporting and promoting a positive aviation safety
culture.
3. Continuous improvement of organisational performance
CASA closely monitors its organisational performance and seeks to continually improve its operational
activities, regulatory services and other support functions. CASA is adopting a comprehensive quality
management approach to drive continuous improvement across all facets of the organisation.
Purposes CASA is Australia’s aviation safety regulator and is a corporate Commonwealth entity under the PGPA Act 2013 and was established on 6 July 1995 under the Civil Aviation Act 1988 (the Act). The main objective of the Act is to establish a regulatory framework to maintain, enhance and promote civil aviation safety, with an emphasis on preventing aviation accidents and incidents.
In exercising its powers and performing its functions, CASA is required to regard the safety of air navigation as the most important consideration.
CASA’s key role is to conduct the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australian territory and the operation of Australian aircraft outside Australian territory. CASA is also responsible for ensuring that Australian-administered airspace is administered and used safely.
CASA, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities, Airservices Australia and the Department of Defence constitute Australia’s aviation safety framework, each with separate and distinct functions, but working together as an integrated system.
In keeping with CASA’s fundamental obligations, efforts are maintained and promoted at all times to ensure our decision-making and actions are lawful, fair, reasonable and consistent, and in all cases contribute to optimal safety outcomes, while not unnecessarily impeding the efficient operation of entities that we regulate.
Delivery CASA has a range of key performance areas through which it will deliver its outcome. The detailed initiatives to measure success against these performance areas are outlined in full in the CASA Corporate Plan.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of CASA’s finances for the 2019–20 Budget year, including the impact of Budget measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1 BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1 Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Budgeted departmental income statement
CASA is anticipating a $3.4m deficit for 2019–20 and will endeavour to maintain a balanced budget under increased uncertainty around excise revenue, in forward years. This is reflective of utilising CASA’s reserves in 2019–20 to invest in the design, scope, build and implementation of the digitisation of its regulatory services, the rising demands from new aerodrome infrastructure and airspace management requirements, together with the continued rapid growth and complexity of drones. The implementation of a service delivery transformation program incorporating new technologies and implementing process efficiencies is expected to assist CASA in absorbing some of the increasing demand for services over the forward year period.
2018–19
CASA is planning a small operating surplus in 2018–19.
2019–20
CASA is anticipating an operating deficit in 2019–20 of $3.4m. The deficit, which will be covered by utilising CASA reserves, will be driven by the design, scope, build and implementation of the digitisation of regulatory services.
Forward Years
CASA is budgeting for small operating surpluses in the forward years in the face of a decrease of 10.0% annual appropriation from Government and with special appropriation for aviation fuel excise forecast to grow at around 4.0% across forward years.
Depreciation expenditure will increase in line with CASA’s capital program and employee benefits are expected to continue to increase with pay rises predicted to be included in CASA’s next employee enterprise agreement.
Chart 3.1 illustrates CASA’s revenue funding. Revenue from special appropriations is planned to increase by 4.0% across the forward years.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority
129
Chart 3.1: Revenue
Total expenses in 2019–20 are estimated to be $205.9m, an increase of $18.7m when compared to the anticipated outcome for 2018–19. The main movements in the major expense categories are:
employee expenses are expected to increase by $8.6m for 2019–20 only as CASA engages an additional 41 staff as part of an approved temporary increase in ASL;
depreciation expenses increasing by $1.8m, reflecting the increase in capital expenditure in 2018–19; and
supplier expenses are expected to increase by $8.3m as a result of a new measure for future funding arrangements.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
CASA’s net asset (or equity) position for 2019–20 is forecast to decrease by $3.4m compared to 2018–19, consistent with the anticipated operating deficit and projected capital investment.
Chart 3.2 illustrates CASA’s budgeted asset profile. Total budgeted assets of $105.1m in 2019–20 represents a decrease of $2.4m from the estimated 2018–19 closing position, primarily due to a reduction in investments.

INFRASTRUCTURE AUSTRALIA
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
Infrastructure Australia (IA) is a statutory authority established on 1 September 2014 following amendment of the Infrastructure Australia Act 2008. IA’s primary role is to support the Australian Government’s plan to build a strong and prosperous economy. This is to be done through the provision of high quality independent advice concerning nationally significant infrastructure matters. This advice is for the Australian Government, and in turn, all levels of government, industry and stakeholders.
In accordance with the outcome in Section 2 of this document, ‘Outcomes and Planned Performance’, IA is responsible for providing independent advice for:
improved decision-making on infrastructure matters;
better identification and assessment of key drivers of infrastructure demand and utilisation;
improved prioritisation of infrastructure projects; and
the identification, implementation and promotion of best practice infrastructure planning, financing, delivery and operation.
The key priorities for IA in 2019–20 are:
continue to undertake evaluations on all infrastructure proposals where funding of more than $100 million is sought from the Commonwealth. This includes economic and social infrastructure proposals but excludes defence proposals;
regularly update and further develop the Infrastructure Priority List. This priority list will be informed by the other work of IA, in particular the Australian Infrastructure Audit, the Australian Infrastructure Plan and evaluation of infrastructure proposals;
conduct an engagement and submissions process in response to the release of the second Australian Infrastructure Audit (the Audit). The Audit will:
- identify and measure gaps in Australia’s infrastructure, including current gaps and gaps expected to emerge as projected future demand exceeds available capacity;
- identify opportunities to support economic growth through better use of existing infrastructure and strategic investment in additional capacity;
- be completed by 30 June 2019;

In 2019–20, IA will play an active role in ongoing research and collaboration initiatives that promote and develop effective data and information sharing, analysis and benchmarking. In particular, IA will undertake initiatives to maintain the currency of its data to inform future Audits, plans, priority lists and project evaluations.
Additional priorities of IA in 2019–20 include:
continuing to evolve the frameworks utilised by jurisdictions in submitting proposals to IA for evaluation to promote best practice in infrastructure planning, procurement and delivery. This will include consideration of costs and benefits and the appropriate assessment of wider benefits (in addition to direct benefits) providing guidance on how these should be measured and applied, if required;
promoting best practice in the planning, funding, delivery and operations of infrastructure through leadership on regulatory reform objectives;
through engagement with all levels of government and industry, facilitating the continual evolution of planning and procurement practices by contributing to a repository of data, information and knowledge on the nation’s infrastructure resources, requirements, delivery and practices; and
continuing to establish and maintain productive working relationships with all levels of government and industry. This includes engaging closely with Commonwealth departments, agencies and entities as well as states, territories, local governments, investors in infrastructure, owners of infrastructure and communities – as the end users of infrastructure.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The National Capital Authority (NCA) was established under the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (the PALM Act).
The PALM Act prescribes the NCA’s powers and functions and makes it subject to general
Ministerial direction. The Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Territories has
administrative responsibility for the PALM Act.
On behalf of the Australian Government, the NCA performs the role of trustee and manager of areas in Canberra and the ACT that are designated as National Land for the special purpose of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital. The NCA works closely and collaboratively with the ACT Government in shaping the future of Canberra through the National Capital Plan and related planning and development work. The NCA also manages much of the National Estate – such as Lake Burley Griffin, the National Triangle and Anzac Parade – and educates and informs the community about Canberra’s unique characteristics and special role as the National Capital.
The functions of the NCA are set out in section 6 of the PALM Act and include:
to prepare and administer a National Capital Plan, providing the overall planning and development framework for Canberra as Australia’s National Capital;
to keep the Plan under constant review and to propose amendments to it as required;
on behalf of the Commonwealth, to commission works to be carried out in Designated Areas in accordance with the Plan where neither a Department of State of the Commonwealth nor any Commonwealth authority has the responsibility to commission those works;
to recommend to the Minister the carrying out of works that the NCA considers desirable to maintain or enhance the character of the National Capital;
to foster an awareness of Canberra as the National Capital;
with the Minister’s approval, to perform planning services for any person or body, whether within Australia or overseas; and
with the exception of the taking of water, and with the Minister’s approval, to manage National Land designated in writing by the Minister as land required for the special purposes of Canberra as the National Capital, on behalf of the Commonwealth.
The main components of the NCA’s work is to:
support the planning, design and development of nationally significant parts of Canberra and the ACT;
inform and educate the community about the unique characteristics and importance of Canberra as the National Capital; and
manage and enhance Commonwealth assets on National Land.
National Capital Authority
178
The NCA’s key priorities for 2019–20 include:
addressing the need to upgrade ageing built assets on the National Estate, notably Commonwealth Avenue Bridge, Scrivener Dam and parts of Lake Burley Griffin;
actively managing and enhancing the Estate’s natural assets in the context of environmental change and the ongoing need for remediation and renewal; and
meeting the challenges of planning for a growing, vibrant city while maintaining the unique character and special purpose of Canberra.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for the NCA can be found at: <www.nca.gov.au/about-the-NCA/corporate-documents/corporate-plan-2018-2022>.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of the NCA’s finances for the 2019–20 Budget year, including the impact of Budget measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1 BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1 Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental comprehensive income statement
The NCA is budgeting for an operating surplus of $50,000 in 2018-19, adjusted for depreciation and amortisation expenses. The surplus includes a $65,000 gain from the sale of an asset, partially offset by a loss of $15,000 which arises from an accounting treatment in the 2015–16 audited accounts relating to settlement funds of $1.2m, where most related expenditure occurred in 2017–18, and $15,000 expenditure will occur in 2018–19.
The NCA is budgeting for a break-even operating result in 2019–20 and the forward years. Total revenue from Government in 2019–20 remains relatively consistent compared to 2018–19, although there has been an on-going re-classification of expenses associated with the maintenance of National Land from Departmental expenses to Administered expenses ($8.0m in 2019–20). This movement of funds decision results in a Departmental appropriation of $10.4 m in 2019–20, compared to $17.2m in 2018–19. Revenue from other sources principally reflects the recovery of costs for the provision of services and rental income.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
The increase in the NCA’s departmental budgeted net asset position in 2019–20 is due to additional capital funding received through the Public Service Modernisation Agency Sustainability Fund for business and ICT transformation and improvements to NCA managed buildings.
Schedule of budgeted income and expenses administered on behalf of Government
In 2019–20, the NCA will receive appropriation of $18.1m for supplier expenses including operating expenses associated with the administration of the pay parking program and the insurance premium for risks associated with assets on National Land. The $18.1m appropriation also includes $3.7m for the 2018–19 Budget measure National Capital Authority – additional funding and $3.1m for the 2018–19 MYEFO measure National Capital Authority – capital renewal. It also includes $8.0m re-classified from Departmental expenses, as discussed above.
Revenue from administered activities primarily includes pay parking revenue, lease revenue on diplomatic land and user charges, which are returned in full to the Budget.
Schedule of budgeted assets and liabilities administered on behalf of the Government
In 2019–20, the NCA will receive appropriation of $17.9m for activities it administers on behalf of the Government. This appropriation is directly linked to the administered capital budget and will be used to replace and upgrade existing administered assets.
The reduction in NCA’s administered net asset position in 2019–20 and forward years is largely due to higher accumulated depreciation expenses on capital assets compared to capital funding received to replace and upgrade those assets.

NATIONAL TRANSPORT COMMISSION
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The National Transport Commission (NTC) is a statutory authority established in 2003 under the National Transport Commission Act 2003 (NTC Act) and guided by the Inter-Governmental Agreement for Regulatory and Operational Reform in Road, Rail and Intermodal Transport (IGA). The Australian Government is the host jurisdiction responsible for the NTC as a statutory authority established under Commonwealth law.
The main objective of the NTC Act is to establish the NTC as a statutory authority with responsibility for developing, monitoring and maintaining uniform or nationally consistent regulatory and operational reforms relating to road, rail and intermodal transport. The NTC Act also provides a mechanism for setting out national applied law, model legislation and other instruments. The states and territories, and the Commonwealth where appropriate, may then either reference or enact the substance of the model legislation in their own law thereby establishing and maintaining a nationally agreed regulatory approach to land transport.
The Transport and Infrastructure Council (TIC), a ministerial council formed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), is responsible for the NTC, as an inter-governmental agency covered by the IGA.
TIC agrees the 4 year corporate plan, prepared under section 35 of the PGPA Act and aligned with this Budget statement. TIC also approves the annual work program that aims to align with TIC’s strategic priorities.

1.2 ENTITY RESOURCE STATEMENT
Table 1.1 shows the total funding from all sources available to the NTC for its operations and to deliver programs and services on behalf of the Government.
The table summarises how resources will be applied by outcome (government strategic policy objectives) and by departmental (for the NTC’s operations) classification.
Information in this table is presented on a resourcing (i.e. appropriations/cash available) basis, whilst the ‘Budgeted expenses by Outcome 1’ table in Section 2 and the financial statements in Section 3 are presented on an accrual basis.
Table 1.1: National Transport Commission resource statement - Budget estimates for 2019–20 as at Budget April 2019
Prepared on a resourcing (i.e. appropriations available) basis. All figures shown are GST exclusive – these may not match figures in the cash flow statement.
The NTC is not directly appropriated as it is a corporate Commonwealth entity. Appropriations are made to the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities, which are then paid to the NTC and are considered 'departmental' for all purposes.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for the NTC can be found at: <www.ntc.gov.au/Media/Reports/(8099E98D-C5CD-2CE1-E6B5-E18E3DA01E79).pdf>.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of the NTC’s finances for the 2019–20 Budget year, including the impact of Budget measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1 BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1 Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Budgeted departmental income statement
The NTC is funded by Commonwealth, states and territories on an annual basis, apportioned by an agreed percentage allocation as outlined within the NTC’s IGA.
Under its Act, funding for the NTC is to be applied only in payment or discharge of the costs, expenses and other obligations incurred by the NTC in the performance of its functions and the exercise of its powers.
Each year, the NTC must prepare estimates, in accordance with TIC directions, of its receipts and expenditure for each financial year and, if TIC so directs, for any other period specified by TIC. The NTC must submit estimates so prepared to TIC no later than such a date as TIC directs. Except with the consent of TIC, the funding of the NTC must not be spent otherwise than in accordance with the corporate plan and work program provided annually. On this basis, the NTC’s forward estimate may change yearly based on directions from TIC.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
The NTC’s balance sheet is simple in structure and classification. Assets are largely comprised of cash and office plant and equipment, while liabilities are payables (to suppliers) and employee provision (staff entitlements).

1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The North Queensland Water Infrastructure Authority (NQWIA) was established on 12 March 2019 as an Executive Agency under Section 65 of the Public Service Act 1999 to provide strategic planning and coordination of Commonwealth resources to implement water projects in northern Queensland.
NQWIA works collaboratively with stakeholders, Local Governments and the Queensland Government to progress the feasibility and planning activities, including the development of business cases, related to major water infrastructure initiatives eligible to receive Australian Government funding from the National Water Infrastructure Fund.
The NQWIA will coordinate the provision of information sharing amongst relevant regulatory authorities in order to implement the projects. In 2019-20, NQWIA will focus strategic planning and coordination for the Hughenden Irrigation Scheme and the Hells Gates Dam Scheme (including Big Rocks Weir) projects.

GLOSSARY
Activities The actions/functions performed by entities to deliver government policies.
Additional Estimates
Appropriation Bills that seek appropriation authority from Parliament for the additional expenditure of money from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), in order to meet requirements that have arisen since the last Budget. Further annual appropriation Bills can be introduced during the year if required. These Bills are called the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills (after MYEFO) or Supplementary Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills (at the same time as bills for the next budget).
Administered Item Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities that the executive government controls, but which an agency or authority manages on the government’s behalf.
Administrative Arrangements Order
The functions and activities of the government are administered in accordance with an administrative arrangement order (AAO) issued from time to time by the government and signed by the Governor-General. An AAO establishes the principal matters or government outcomes to be dealt with by each department of state, and the Acts of Parliament to be administered by each minister.
Annual Appropriation
Annual Appropriation Acts provide annual funding for government operations and programs; for investment in assets; or to reduce liabilities. Bills proposing appropriations for the forthcoming financial year are introduced into Parliament on budget night. The annual Appropriation Bills propose specified amounts of appropriation for expenditure by entities to carry out the government’s outcomes.
Appropriation An amount of public monies the Parliament authorises for spending (that is, funds to be withdrawn from the CRF). Not only does an appropriation authorise the Australian Government to withdraw monies, but it also restricts the expenditure to the particular purpose specified.
Budget Paper 1 (BP1)
The Budget Strategy and Outlook provides an overview of the economic and fiscal outlook, summarises the Government’s fiscal strategy, and outlines key Budget priorities.
Budget Paper 2 (BP2)
The Budget Measures provides comprehensive information on all government decisions that involve changes to its revenue, expense and investing activities since the last MYEFO.
Glossary
234
Budget Paper 3 (BP3)
Federal Financial Relations includes information on revenue provision and payments (GST and specific purpose payments), as well as an overview of fiscal developments in the states and territories.
Budget Paper 4 (BP4)
Agency Resourcing shows, for each entity, estimated expenses for each special appropriation Act, estimated balances and flows for all special accounts, estimated resourcing by type of appropriation, and estimated average staffing levels in the public sector.
Central Entities Refers to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Finance.
Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF)
The CRF is established by section 81 of the Constitution and consists of all revenues and moneys raised or received by the executive government of the Commonwealth. The CRF is self-executing in nature, which means that all money forms part of the CRF automatically upon receipt by the Commonwealth.
Corporate Commonwealth Entity
A Commonwealth entity that is a body corporate under the PGPA Act.
Departmental Capital Budget
Departmental (or Administered) Capital Budget (DCB/ACB) are provided to non-corporate Entities (as an equity injection) that receive government funding to meet the costs associated with the replacement of minor assets (assets valued at $10 million or less) or maintenance costs that are eligible to be capitalised. The funding for depreciation, amortisation and make-good expenses was replaced with a DCB in the 2010–11 Budget.
Departmental Item Resources (assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses) that the entity’s Accountable Authority controls directly. This includes outsourced activities funded and controlled by the entity. Examples of departmental items include entity running costs, accrued employee entitlements and net appropriations. A departmental item is a component of a departmental program.
Entities Commonwealth entities and Commonwealth companies as defined under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) that are within the General Government Sector (GGS).
Estimated Actual Details of the current year‘s estimated final figures as included in the Budget documentation. As the Budget is released in May each year, but the financial year does not end until 30 June, the current year numbers that are used for comparison with Budget amounts can only be estimates.
Glossary
235
Expenses not requiring appropriation in the Budget year
Expenses where there is a government policy not to fund those expenses within the year; where the funding has been provided in a prior year but the expense will be incurred in the current year; items which do not or will not involve a cash flow impact (such as bad debt expenses); or where the expenses reflect the usage of services or resources provided free of charge. : e.g. Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) audit services — the ANAO does not charge for audit services however the expense must be recognised. From the 2018-19 MYEFO, movements of Administered funds that can be met from a prior year appropriation are not re-appropriated in the year required. Such expenses are reflected as ‘Expenses not requiring appropriation in the Budget year’.
Executive Agency An agency designated, in an executive order made by the Governor-General-in-Council, as separate from a department, for staffing and accountability and reporting purposes, under the Public Service Act 1999.
Forward Estimates Period
The three years following the Budget year. For example, if 2019–20 is the Budget year, 2020–21 is forward year 1, 2021–22 is forward year 2 and 2022–23 is forward year 3. This period does not include the current financial year or the Budget year.
General Government Sector (GGS)
A Government Finance Statistics (GFS) classification of all entities that are controlled and largely funded by the Australian Government. The GGS provides public services that are mainly non-market in nature and for the collective consumption of the community, or involve the transfer or redistribution of income. These services are largely financed through taxes and other compulsory levies, user charging and external funding. This sector comprises all government departments, offices and some other bodies.
Government Finance Statistics (GFS)
A reporting framework that is a specialised statistical system designed to support economic analysis of the public sector. It allows for comprehensive assessments of the economic impact of government and is consistent with international statistical standards of the International Monetary Fund and the System of National Accounts.
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. Such proposals are normally made in the context of the annual Budget, and are typically published in BP2, in the MYEFO and in the Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Outlook (PEFO).
Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO)
The MYEFO provides an update of the government's Budget estimates by examining expenses and revenues in the 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.

Program 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.
Program support The entity’s running costs allocated to a program. This is funded through an entity‘s departmental appropriations. Departmental appropriation splits and totals are indicative estimates and may change in the course of the budget year as government priorities change.
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act)
The PGPA Act replaced the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) and the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) on 1 July 2014. As the primary piece of Commonwealth resource management legislation, the PGPA Act establishes a coherent system of governance and accountability for public resources, with an emphasis on planning, performance and reporting. It applies to all Commonwealth entities and Commonwealth companies.
Special Account A type of special appropriation, which can only be established by a written determination of the Finance Minister (section 78 of the PGPA Act) or through an Act of Parliament (section 80 of the PGPA Act). 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.
Glossary
237
Special Appropriations (including Standing Appropriations)
Authority within an Act (other than the annual Appropriation Acts) to spend money from the CRF for particular purposes. 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 sub-category consisting of ongoing special appropriations - the amount appropriated will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.
Statutory Agency A statutory authority identified in an Act as a ‘Statutory Agency’ for the purposes of the Public Service Act.
Statutory Authority An Australian Government body established through legislation for a public purpose. This can include a body headed by, or comprising, an office holder, a commission or a governing board.
