DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
Objectives 
The Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services (the Department) has responsibility for a wide range of programs and policies which deliver essential services to individuals, families and the whole ACT community.  The Department’s range of responsibilities includes: people with a disability; social housing; children and young people; families; therapy services; carers; women; ageing, multicultural affairs; volunteering; community services and facilities; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; homelessness and concessions.  In bringing these related functions together into 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 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 Service Delivery Platform, which is based around the following five strategic themes:
•	improving outcomes for clients;
•	engaging and involving clients;
•	building better community partnerships;
•	serving and contributing to good governance; and
•	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.  
2008-09 Priorities 	
Strategic and operational issues to be pursued in 2008‑09 include: 
•	delivering the highest possible level of client services, by continuing to strengthen the integration of disability, housing, children, youth, family, therapy, multicultural and community services;

Business and Corporate Strategies 
In accordance with its Service Delivery Platform launched at the end of 2006-07, the Department will direct its resources towards frontline service delivery that supports the Territory’s most vulnerable people.
The Department will continue to develop an integrated approach to client management, recognising that some clients have complex needs that should be addressed by several areas of the Department, and that services should be delivered efficiently and effectively and in a way that best suits clients’ needs.  
The Department is committed to: working in partnership with community organisations; maintaining a person-centred approach within a human rights framework; and having an emphasis on its people, including strengthening skills and professionalism, encouraging work life balance and staff retention.
The Department has a comprehensive governance framework, which identifies the Department’s strategic risks, regular reporting and accountability.  Each area of the Department has a business plan that includes the strategic risks and mitigation plans which are monitored by the Department’s Board of Management and the Audit and Review Committee.

Notes:
1.	The 2007-08 estimated outcome and 2008-09 target reflects the increasing trend in the numbers of reports received about children and young people.
2.	The decrease in the 2007-08 estimated outcome and 2008-09 target is due to the introduction of the differential response which allows for families to be assisted prior to or instead of an appraisal.
3.	The 2007-08 estimated outcome and 2008‑09 target has been increased to reflect the current trends and the latest data available.  The target is subject to change due to individual needs of children and young people.  
4.	The increase in the 2007-08 estimated outcome and 2008-09 target reflects the national trend of children and young people entering care at a younger age and for a longer period of time.
5.	The decrease in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is the result of the higher number of out‑of‑home care days (see note 4).

Notes to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
–	the decrease of $0.491 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to:
•	decreased superannuation contributions ($1.596 million); and
•	the deferral of some programs to 2008‑09 ($0.814 million);
partially offset by:
•	the recognition of revenue for programs deferred from 2006‑07 ($0.352 million); 
•	additional funding for the expansion of the homelessness drop-in centre ($0.189 million), the seniors transport service ($0.150 million) and equipment for community radio 2XX ($0.070 million);
•	additional funding for payments rolled over from 2006-07 ($1.063 million); and
•	additional funding from the Commonwealth Government under the Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement ($0.095 million).
–	the increase of $7.919 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	funding for wages increases ($2.004 million);
•	indexation of non-salary expenses ($3.889 million);
•	additional funding under the Supported Accommodation and Assistance Program ($0.954 million);
•	programs deferred from 2007‑08 ($0.814 million);
•	funding to assist the ACT Government’s participation in the Council of Australian Governments indigenous working groups ($0.134 million);
•	additional funding for prior year initiatives ($2.208 million);
•	new initiatives for 2008‑09:
–	Multicultural Festival enhancement ($0.1 million);
–	Multicultural Grants Program ($0.075 million); 
–	specialised children and young people’s equipment loan service ($0.304 million); 
–	funding to assist community organisations to strengthen capacity, sustainability and address disadvantage in the community ($0.7 million);
–	integrated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family support service ($0.395 million); 
–	working with vulnerable people checks ($0.182 million); 
–	West Belconnen children and family support service ($0.2 million); 
–	feasibility study into the accommodation needs of people with disabilities ($0.094 million); and
–	establishment of regional community facilities and neighbourhood halls ($1.732 million).
•	programs transferred from ACT Health ($0.160 million);
•	funding transferred from the Department of Justice and Community Safety for a community sector crisis counsellor ($0.096 million); and
•	additional funding for departmental accommodation ($0.293 million);
partially offset by:
•	the transfer of the Taxi Subsidy Scheme to the ACT Concessions Program ($0.801 million);
•	cessation of the Community Inclusion Fund ($2 million);
•	a decrease in one-off funding for repairs and maintenance ($0.220 million);
•	one-off expenditure in 2007-08 for programs deferred from 2006‑07 ($1.520 million); 
•	one-off funding in 2007-08 for payments rolled over from 2006-07 ($1.063 million);
•	departmental savings ($0.625 million); and
•	reduced superannuation contributions ($0.194 million).
•	user charges - ACT Government:  the increase of $0.055 million in the 2008-09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is due to expected payments from the Chief Minister’s Department for costs associated with the celebration of the National Aborigines and Islander Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week in July 2008 and additional support to local indigenous community groups.
•	other revenue:  
–	the increase of $0.190 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to reimbursements from the Restructure Fund ($0.165 million) and the Capital Improvement Program ($0.025 million); and
–	the increase of $0.055 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to expected reimbursement from the Capital Improvement Program ($0.220 million), partially offset by one-off reimbursement from the Restructure Fund in 2007‑08 ($0.165 million).
•	employee and superannuation expenses:  
–	the decrease of $1.431 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to decreased superannuation contributions expenditure ($1.596 million), partially offset by one-off payments relating to voluntary redundancies ($0.165 million); and
–	the increase of $4.348 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is primarily due to:
•	wage increases ($2.004 million);
•	the realignment of expenditure from supplies and services ($1.309 million); 
•	staff costs for programs transferred from ACT Health ($0.160 million);
•	funding to assist the ACT Government’s participation in the Council of Australian Governments indigenous working groups ($0.117 million);
•	additional funding for prior year initiatives ($0.820 million); and
•	new initiatives for 2008‑09 ($0.481 million);
partially offset by:
•	departmental savings ($0.227 million); 
•	decreased superannuation contributions ($0.194 million); and
•	one-off voluntary redundancy payments in 2007-08 ($0.165 million).
•	supplies and services:  
–	the increase of $0.120 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to one‑off expenditure deferred from 2006‑07; and
–	the increase of $0.950 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	new initiatives for 2008‑09 ($2.326 million);
•	costs associated with the celebration of NAIDOC Week in July 2008 ($0.030 million);
•	additional support to local indigenous community groups ($0.025 million);
•	funding to assist the ACT Government’s participation in the Council of Australian Governments indigenous working groups ($0.017 million);
•	additional funding for departmental accommodation ($0.293 million);
•	additional funding for prior year initiatives ($0.886 million); and
•	indexation ($0.966 million).
partially offset by:
•	the realignment of expenditure to employee expenses ($1.309 million); 
•	the reclassification of contingencies expenditure to grants and purchased services ($1.466 million); 
•	a decrease in one-off funding for repairs and maintenance ($0.220 million);
•	the effect of 2006‑07 departmental savings ($0.375 million); and
•	one-off expenditure in 2007-08 for programs deferred from 2006‑07 ($0.207 million);
•	depreciation and amortisation:  the increase of $1.461 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to the full year effect of completed capital works projects.
•	grants and purchased services:
–	the increase of $3.569 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	additional funding for prior year initiatives ($0.502 million);
•	new initiatives for 2008‑09 ($0.975 million); 
•	additional funding under the Supported Accommodation and Assistance Program ($0.954 million);
•	programs deferred from 2007‑08 ($0.814 million);
•	funding transferred from the Department of Justice and Community Safety for a community sector crisis counsellor ($0.096 million);
•	the reclassification of contingencies expenditure from supplies and services ($1.466 million); and 
•	indexation ($2.923 million);
partially offset by:
•	the effect of 2006‑07 departmental savings ($0.023 million); 
•	one‑off expenditure for equipment for community radio 2XX ($0.070 million);
•	programs deferred from 2006‑07 ($1.313 million);
•	the transfer of the Taxi Subsidy Scheme to the ACT Concessions Program ($0.801 million); and
•	cessation of the Community Inclusion Fund ($2 million).
•	other expenses:  the increase of $0.750 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to the transfer of the Narrabundah preschool property to Housing ACT for the construction of residential accommodation for younger people with disabilities who are currently in residential aged care facilities.
Balance Sheet
•	current assets:  the decrease of $1.549 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to lower than expected receivables ($2.091 million) partially offset by a higher cash balance ($0.4 million) to cover capital projects.
•	non current assets:  
–	the increase of $35.589 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to: 
•	the impact of the revaluation of land and buildings in 2006-07 ($37.9 million); 
•	the value of land transferred for completed facilities ($1.850 million); and
•	the value of land and building for the Causeway Preschool transferred from the Department of Territory and Municipal Services ($0.153 million);
partially offset by:
•	the rollover of the capital works project for the Bimberi Youth Justice Centre ($4 million) and upgrade to Quamby ($0.296 million) into 2008‑09.
–	the increase of $8.952 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is largely due to funding for capital projects and the specialised children and young people’s equipment loan service ($0.304 million).
•	current liabilities:  
–	the decrease of $3.346 million in the 2007‑08 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to lower than expected creditors ($3.822 million), partially offset by growth in employee benefits ($0.468 million); and
–	the increase of $0.946 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is largely due to the impact of wage increases and the expected growth in employee benefits.

Notes to the Output Class Statements
Significant variations are as follows:
Disability and Therapy Services Total Expenses
•	the increase of $3.355 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to funding for new initiatives in 2008‑09, and the impact of wage increases and indexation, and increased funding for the 2007‑08 Budget initiative to increase disability service capacity.
Early Intervention Total Expenses
•	the increase of $1.729 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to new funding for initiatives in 2008‑09, and the impact of wage increases and indexation.
Community Development and Policy Total Expenses
•	the increase of $3.259 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to new funding for initiatives in 2008-09, funding for prior year initiatives, and the impact of wage increases and indexation.
Children, Youth and Family Services Total Expenses
•	the increase of $2.736 million in the 2008‑09 Budget from the 2007‑08 estimated outcome is mainly due to new funding for initiatives in 2008-09, higher depreciation expenses for the Bimberi Youth Justice Centre, and the impact of wage increases and indexation.
