DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
Objectives 
The Department has responsibility for disability services and policy, child, youth and family policy and services, social housing services and policy, community engagement, concessions, multicultural affairs, community services and facilities, homelessness services and strategies and therapy services.  In bringing these related functions together in one organisation, the Department provides an integrated approach to the development of policy and the delivery of a broad range of human services in the ACT.
The Department is committed to supporting each of its current and future clients in a manner that recognises the stage of life and circumstances in which they find themselves, and to facilitating an outcome that is focused on their individual needs.
The Department undertakes its activities in accordance with its Strategic Plan, which is based around the following five strategic themes:
1.	engaging and involving our clients;
2.	improving outcomes for our clients;
3.	building better community partnerships;
4.	serving and contributing to good governance; and
5.	performing as a best practice organisation.
Through a focus on these themes, the Department will improve the linkages between programs and ensure that an emphasis on clients remains the highest priority.  The Department will also build better relationships with other Government agencies through a commitment to Service Partnership Agreements.  In particular, the addition of responsibility for children and young people has become a priority for the Department.

Budgeted Financial Results 
Section 31 of the Financial Management Act 1996 (FMA) advises that Chief Executives are responsible for achievement of financial results.  For the purpose of Section 31 of the FMA, key budgeted results are specified in the Budget Papers to improve accountability.  An outcome of the increased accountability will be the requirement for Chief Executives to explain material variances from specified budgeted results.
In accordance with Section 31 of the FMA, following are the key budgeted results for the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services:
•	Operating Result ($1.850m deficit) – this measure focuses on the financial performance of the department, and will measure the department’s success in managing expenditure levels within government funding and own‑source revenue limitations, with the exception of depreciation of property, plant and equipment funded by capital injection.
•	Current Ratio (0.9 to 1)1 – the current ratio is an indication of the department’s ability to fund short‑term liabilities from short-term assets.  
•	Total Assets ($56.658m) – this measure focuses on the department’s ability to manage its assets base, which mainly relates to land and buildings used for the provision of services to the ACT Community.  The effect of depreciation on the asset base is offset by the annual capital works program funded by way of capital injection and any revaluation movements.
•	Total Liabilities ($11.314m) – this measure focuses on maintaining prudent levels of liabilities as required by Section 11 of the FMA.  The majority of the Department’s liabilities relate to employee provisions.  Employee provision levels are determined by the size and length of service of the workforce.  The Department has a mature workforce, with levels of emerging costs currently running in line with accruing employee provisions.

Notes to the Budget Statements
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
–	the increase of $8.471m in the 2004-05 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to increased funding through supplementary appropriation ($0.818m), additional funding for wage increases ($1.350m), functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the Administrative Arrangement Order (AAO) announced on 4 November 2004 ($5.244m), 2004‑05 delayed grants programs ($0.991m) and increased funding under the Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement (CSTDA) ($0.068m).
–	the increase of $4.905m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004-05 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	funding for wage increases ($0.776m);
•	increased CSTDA funding ($0.505m);
•	full year impact of  functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the AAOs ($1.307m);
•	appropriation transferred from ACT Health for respite services ($0.205m);
•	appropriation transferred from Housing ACT for community linkages program ($0.550m); and
•	indexation ($0.769m);
–	additional funding for prior year initiatives: 
•	response to homelessness ($0.797m);
•	addressing individual support needs for people with a disability ($0.2m);
•	growth funds for disability services that were transferred from ACT Health 	upon establishment of the Department ($0.250m); 
•	maintaining community facilities ($0.075m);
•	intensive care and treatment program for people at risk ($0.717m);
•	addressing unmet needs for people with disabilities ($0.250m); and
•	autism assessment and support services ($0.112m);
–	new initiatives for 2005‑06:
•	community support and crisis intervention for people with disabilities 	($0.792m);
•	increasing community access for youth and young adults with disabilities 	($0.415m);
•	additional funding for children with high and complex needs, including 	autism ($0.410m);
•	additional therapy support for children with high and complex needs ($0.2m);
•	establishment of a Child and Family Centre at Tuggeranong ($0.338m); 
•	expenses associated with the establishment of an intensive care and treatment 	facility ($0.090m); and
•	feasibility study for a homelessness drop-in centre ($0.1m);
offset by:
•	general savings ($1.878m); 
•	reduction from prior year one-off funding ($1.016m);
•	appropriation transferred to the Department of Justice and Community Safety 	for  the Disability Commissioner ($0.275m); 
•	appropriation transferred to ACT Health for cost of disability clients with high 	medical dependency ($0.680m); and
•	reduction in InTACT costs ($0.104m);
•	user charges – ACT Government:  the increase of $0.162m in the 2004-05 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to indexation of payment from Housing ACT for the provision of organisational support services;
•	other revenue:  the increase of $0.481m in the 2004-05 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to prior years’ workers compensation reimbursements ($0.070m), respite funding received from ACT Health ($0.2m), and funding from Chief Minister’s Department  to increase access to the digital age for people with disabilities ($0.064m); 
The decrease of $0.401m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004-05 estimated outcome is due to the above one-off  increases in 2004-05;
•	employee and superannuation expenses:  the increase of $3.171m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to:
–	the impact of wage increases ($1.331m);
–	the functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the AAOs ($1.532m); 
–	reclassification of fringe benefits tax from administrative expenses ($0.146m); and
–	indexation of  organisational support services provided to Housing ACT ($0.104m).
The increase of $2.053m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is primarily due to: 
–	the impact of  wage increases ($0.798m); 
–	costs associated with the functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the AAOs  ($0.667m);
–	increased expenses from an intensive care and treatment program for people at risk ($0.354m); and
–	increased expenses associated with new initiatives ($0.487m); 
offset by:
–	general savings ($0.273m);
•	supplies and services:  the increase of $2.134m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to:
–	costs associated with providing housing and support services to assist refugees settle in the ACT  ($0.214m); 
–	feasibility study costs for Single Therapy Service accommodation ($0.250m); 
–	additional costs associated with reconfiguration of accommodation for disability clients at Long Gully ($0.248m); and
–	full year impact of costs associated with the functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the AAOs ($1.535m);
offset by:
–	reclassification of fringe benefits tax  to employee expenses ($0.146m);
The increase of $0.254m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
–	the full year impact of costs associated with the functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the AAOs ($0.562m); 
–	increased expenses associated with new initiatives ($0.320m); 
–	increased expenses for an intensive care and treatment program for people at risk ($0.363m); and
–	indexation;
offset by:
–	departmental efficiency savings ($0.393m);
–	appropriation transferred to the Department of Justice and Community Safety for  the  Disability Commissioner ($0.275m);
–	reduction in costs from one-off funding in supplementary appropriation ($0.504m); and
–	reduction in InTACT costs ($0.104m).
•	depreciation and amortisation:  the increase of $0.107m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to depreciation of application software.
The increase of $0.104m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is mainly due to finalisation of the Multicultural Centre during the year.
•	grants and purchased services:  the increase of $4.510m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is due largely to increased expenditure associated with the  functions transferred from the Chief Minister’s Department under the AAOs ($2.247m), respite for older carers jointly funded by the Territory and the Australian Government under the CSTDA ($0.212m), one-off grants programs rolled over from 2003‑04 ($1.053m), respite funding from ACT Health ($0.2m) and additional expenditure under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP) ($0.692m).
The increase of $1.603m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is mainly due to: 
–	additional funding under the CSTDA ($0.505m);
–	additional funding for prior year initiatives:
•	response to homelessness ($0.791m);
•	addressing individual support needs for people with a disability ($0.2m);
•	addressing unmet need for people with disabilities ($0.250m);
•	additional growth funds for disability services ($0.250m);
–	additional funding for new initiatives:
•	community support and crisis intervention for people with disabilities 	($0.792m);
•	increasing community access for youth and young adults with disabilities 	($0.415m);
•	additional services for children with high and complex needs, including 	autism ($0.331m);
–	additional funding for respite services transferred from ACT Health  ($0.205m); and
–	the community linkages program transferred from Housing ACT for ($0.550m); 
offset by:
–	one‑off expenditure in 2004‑05 under the SAAP ($0.692m);
–	disability clients with high medical dependency transferred to ACT Health  ($0.680m); and
–	general savings ($1.030m).
Balance Sheet
•	current assets:  the increase of $2.134m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget largely represents the flow-on effect of higher cash and investment balances in the 2003‑04 audited outcome that resulted from delays in grants payments and less than budgeted supplies and services expenditure;
•	non current assets:  
–	the increase of $0.287m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to unbudgeted software being capitalised;
–	the increase of $10.733m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to the impact of the 2005‑06 capital works initiatives; 
•	current liabilities:  
–	the increase of $2.621m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to increases in creditors ($2.093m) and employee benefits ($0.758m).  The former reflects a realistic level of creditors that was not known when the original budget was developed.  The increase in employee benefits is a result of the impact of wage increases;
–	the increase of $0.177m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is largely due to an increase in employee benefits as a result of the impact of wage increases; and
•	non-current liabilities:  the increase of $0.4m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget and the increase of $0.116m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to an increase in employee benefits primarily associated with wage increases.

Notes to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory
•	payment for expenses on behalf of territory:  
–	the increase of $1.711m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget reflects the increase in cost of the ACT Concessions Program and growth in the target population;
–	the increase of $0.972m in the 2005‑05 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is mainly due to an increase to the rebate on residential property rates for eligible pensioners ($0.8m) and the full-year impact of the new energy concession introduced in 2004‑05 ($0.165m); and
•	grants from the Commonwealth:  the increase of $0.676m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to additional funding for respite for older carers ($0.218m) under the Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement (CSTDA) and indexation.
