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; 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.
2009-10 Priorities
Strategic and operational issues to be pursued in 2009-10 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;
•	implementing the strategic priorities that will inform the 2009-14 policy framework for disability in the ACT;
•	working with the community to prepare for future accommodation needs of people with a disability including responding to people’s changing needs as they age;
•	establishing the ACT Companion Card Program that will enable people with a disability who require attendant care support at events and venues to participate without incurring the cost of a second ticket for their attendant carer;
•	expanding the Flexible Support Grants Program to further assist in maintaining the independence of vulnerable individuals and their carers;
•	providing special care packages for people with a disability that are of a significant risk to themselves or the community;
•	assisting individuals who are medically cleared for discharge from the ACT hospital system to receive appropriate community-based support for their ongoing care needs;

•	working in partnership across government to continue to provide universal and targeted services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in the community;
•	addressing the increase in the number and cost of children and young people in out-of-home care arrangements by implementing the out-of-home care service framework across the service system to enhance the quality and the range of services for children in care;
•	supporting the Youth Advisory Council to provide an ongoing program of consultation with young people on issues that impact on them;
•	finalising the forward design and commencing construction on a third Child and Family Centre;
•	improving access to play therapy interventions for young children;
•	increasing speech pathology services for children with a developmental delay or developmental disability;
•	expanding the Seniors Grants Program to further encourage and support older Canberran’s to participate in community activities;

•	supporting the operations of Valley FM 89.5 to provide community radio services to the Tuggeranong area;
•	undertaking the refurbishment or construction of a facility for older residents in the Tuggeranong area;
•	enhancing services to migrants and refugees who choose to settle in Canberra;
•	enhancing support to the Elected Indigenous Body by engaging a facilitator to provide professional support and guidance; and
•	continuing the ACT Indigenous Traineeship Program for 15 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
Business and Corporate Strategies 
In accordance with its Service Delivery Platform, 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 to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement 
•	government payment for outputs:
•	the increase of $7.118 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to:
•	additional funding received through the 2008-09 Budget Second Appropriation ($5.191 million);
•	additional Commonwealth funding for disability services ($3.159 million); and
•	one-off expenditure in 2008-09 for programs deferred from 2007-08 ($0.110 million);

•	additional Commonwealth funding for disability services ($2.872 million);

Balance Sheet
•	current assets:  the increase of $0.637 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to higher than expected receivables ($0.479 million) and cash balance ($0.229 million) for specific projects.
•	non current assets:
•	the decrease of $6.987 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to the flow on impact of the 2007-08 audited outcome and the rollover of capital works ($4.352 million), partially offset by additional funding for projects received through the 2008-09 Budget Second and Third Appropriations ($2.716 million); and
•	the increase of $24.798 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is largely due to funding for capital projects.
•	current liabilities:
•	the decrease of $1.379 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to the flow on impact of the 2007-08 audited outcome including lower payables ($0.830 million) and employee benefits ($0.416 million); and
•	the increase of $0.785 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is largely due to the impact of wage increases and the expected growth in employee benefits.
•	
non current liabilities:
•	the increase of $0.706 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to the flow on impact of the 2007-08 audited outcome including an increase in finance leases ($0.566 million) and employee benefits ($0.140 million); and
•	the increase of $0.473 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is largely due to an increase in finance leases as vehicles are progressively replaced under revised motor vehicle lease arrangements ($0.357 million) and expected growth in employee benefits ($0.16 million).

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 the Territory:
•	the increase of $0.239 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to additional Commonwealth funding for concessions; and
•	the increase of $1.446 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is due to additional funding from the Commonwealth for concessions ($0.145 million) and a projected increase in the level of concessions payments and indexation ($1.431 million).
•	grants from the Commonwealth Government:
•	the decrease of $7.339 million in the 2008-09 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to the transfer of Commonwealth grant revenue to the Department of Treasury due to the Federal Financial Reforms ($9.732 million).  This is partially offset by additional Commonwealth funding for disability services ($2.033 million); and
•	the decrease of $9.889 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is mainly due to the full year effect of the transfer of Commonwealth grant revenue to the Department of Treasury due to the Federal Financial Reforms.

Notes to the Output Class Statements
Significant variations are as follows:
Disability and Therapy Services Total Expenses
•	the increase of $3.240 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is mainly due to additional Commonwealth funding for disability services, funding for new initiatives in 2009-10, and the impact of wage increases and indexation.
Early Intervention Total Expenses
•	the increase of $0.615 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is mainly due to the impact of wage increases and indexation.
Community Development and Policy Total Expenses
•	the decrease of $23.002 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is mainly due to the transfer of the Social Housing and Homelessness function to Housing ACT and the reduction for one-off funding received in 2008-09, partially offset by the impact of wage increases and indexation.
Children, Youth and Family Services Total Expenses
•	the increase of $4.554 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome is mainly due to new funding for initiatives in 2009-10 and the impact of wage increases and indexation.
