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 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 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.  
2007–08 Priorities 
Strategic and operational issues to be pursued in 2007‑08 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.

Output Class 1: Disability and Therapy Services	
Output 1.1: Disability Services and Policy	
				
a.	Accommodation support (number of places)	327	325	3471	
Services that provide accommodation to people with a disability and services that provide support needed to enable a person with a disability to remain in their existing accommodation or to move to more suitable or appropriate accommodation.	
b.	Community support (number of people accessing service)	380	5612	5502	
Services that provide the support needed for a person with a disability to live in a non-institutional setting. These include: behaviour/specialist intervention, counseling, case management, local coordination and development.	
c.	Community access (hours of service)	105,089	116,1733	125,7003 	
Services designed to provide opportunities for people with a disability to gain and use their abilities to enjoy their full potential for social independence.	
d.	Respite – centre based (number of bed nights)	7,846	8,5664	8,9004

g.	Cost per 1,000 head of population ($’000)	$176.81	$175.76	$184.04	
				
Notes:
1.	The rise in this target reflects the purchase of new accommodation support services.
2.	The increase in the 2006–07 estimated outcome related to increased uptake of the Intensive Treatment and Support program and a reconfiguration of the Community and Family Services programs with a focus on managing emergency demand.  Additionally two significant new programs in the Community Sector reached full output capacity.  The slight decrease in 2007‑08 from the estimated outcome in 2006‑07 reflects non-recurrent case management of 26 assessments and referrals for clients entering new services in 2006‑07.  
3.	The increase in community access hours is due to the new frameworks program reaching capacity and the extension of non-recurrent funding for an existing program in the community sector.  The further increase in 2007‑08 reflects the availability of additional funding for community access hours.
4.	The demand for respite care exceeded the capacity available in 2006–07 (7,846 bed nights).  The above target result was achieved by providing temporary bedding in existing facilities for emergency care.  In 2007–08, it is expected that an additional 1,070 bed nights will be purchased in the Community Sector.
5.	The increase in the 2007‑08 target reflects additional 1,400 respite hours to be purchased from the community sector.  This is partially offset by a reduction in the capacity of a community program to maintain its level of respite hours as a result of an increase in the complexity of care required by clients.

Notes:
1.	The increase in the 2006–07 estimated outcome and 2007‑08 target is due to the consolidation of sites and team structure and also reflects the increase in the number of group programs being provided for clients.

d.	Cost per occasion of licence administration and compliance monitoring	$1,072	$1,072	$1,089	
				
Notes:
1.	The lower target for 2007–08 reflects the need to accommodate a higher proportion of disadvantaged and high risk families who require more intensive support and dedicated resources than normally provided through the program.
2.	The higher estimated outcome is due to a pilot of a group model conducted during 2006–07.  The pilot will not continue in 
2007–08 as a one on one model provides greater capacity for engagement with young people than a group model.

Notes:
1.	The increase in the 2006–07 estimated outcome and the 2007–08 target can be attributed to an increase in the number of bail orders made by the Children’s Court and subsequent breaches of these orders.
2.	Community based orders include bail orders.  The increase in the 2006–07 estimated outcome and the 2007–08 target can be attributed to the increase in the number of bail orders issued by the Children’s Court.
3.	The decrease in the average cost in 2006–07 is a result of higher number of custody days (see note 1 above).

Output 4.2: Care and Protection Services	
				
a.	Child Protection Reports about children and young people	10,000	9,2001	9,2001	
Child Protection reports are defined under the Children and Young People Act 1999.  The content of the information received would indicate that a child or young person has been abused, is being or is likely to be abused, neglected or in need of care and protection.	
b.	Reports requiring appraisal	4,300	3,5002	3,5002	
A report is considered to require an appraisal if, on the basis of the information received and known history of the child or young person, there appears to be reasonable risk of abuse or neglect, or that the child or young person is likely to be in need of care.	
c.	Number of child protection reports received and proceeding to appraisal that were substantiated	1,550	6903	6903	
An appraisal of a child or young person and their situation is recorded as ‘substantiated’ if in the professional opinion of the Care and Protection worker there is reasonable cause to believe that the child has been suffering, is suffering or is likely to suffer physical or sexual abuse, neglect or other significant harm.	
d.	Total number of children and young people for whom the Chief Executive has parental responsibility	505	505	505	
As defined by the Children and Young People Act 1999.	
e.	Days of out-of-home care used annually	140,000	142,0004	145,0004	
Out of home care includes foster care, kinship care, residential care and refuges.	
f.	Average cost per out-of-home care day	$149	$1745	$176	
				
Notes:
1.	The decrease reflects the trend in the number of reports received over the last 12 months.  The number of reports fluctuates depending on factors such as publicity about child abuse and neglect.
2.	The number of appraisals is based on the number of reports received above.  The decrease in appraisals reflects the decrease in the number of reports.
3.	The decrease in the 2006–07 estimated outcome and the 2007–08 target reflects a requirement of staff to substantiate an allegation of emotional harm or neglect only if there was significant harm and there was no-one with parental responsibility willing and able to protect the child or young person in need of care and protection.
4.	The increase in the number of out of home care days used is a reflection of national trends.
5.	The increase in cost in 2006–07 is due to higher costs associated with contingencies and Individual Support Packages for children in out-of-home care.

Notes to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
–	the decrease of $0.055 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to:
•	the deferral of some programs to 2007‑08 ($1.260 million); and
•	the transfer of funding to the Chief Minister’s Department for the Community Initiatives Fund ($0.410 million).
partially offset by:
•	the recognition of revenue for programs deferred from 2005‑06 ($1.085 million); and
•	funding for expected wage increases ($0.530 million).
–	the increase of $7.903 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	the transfer of the Community Services Grants from ACT Health ($0.491 million);
•	funding for the impact of wages increases ($2.252 million);
•	indexation of non-salary expenses ($2.668 million);
•	increase in funding under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program ($0.129 million);
•	programs deferred from 2006‑07 ($1.168 million);
•	additional funding for payments to Shared Services reflecting increased employee costs ($0.3 million);
•	additional funding for repairs and maintenance ($1.6 million); and
•	new initiatives for 2007‑08:
-	increased service capacity to meet current priority demand for disability services ($3 million);
-	ACT Indigenous elected body ($0.3 million); 
-	return to work assistance for Indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse and low income women ($0.125 million); 
-	Audrey Fagan Foundation scholarship ($0.060 million); and
-	Indigenous trainee program ($0.020 million).
partially offset by:
•	reduction in the notional superannuation contribution rates ($0.358 million); and
•	the effect of 2006‑07 Budget savings ($3.762 million).
•	user charges - non ACT Government:  the decrease of $0.211 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is primarily due to a reduction in disability services to interstate clients and the associated reimbursement from other jurisdictions.
•	other revenue:  the increase of $0.220 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $0.219 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome relate to the receipt of one-off sponsorship funds for the National Multicultural Festival in 2006‑07.
•	other gains:  the increase of $1.850 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $1.850 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome relate to the re-valuation of land transferred from the Land Development Agency in 2006‑07.
•	employee and superannuation expenses:  
–	the increase of $2.801 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to:
•	the realignment of expenditure from supplies and services ($1.827 million) and the impact of expected wage increases ($1.026 million);
partially offset by 
•	the deferral of programs to 2007‑08 ($0.052 million).
–	the increase of $0.039 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is primarily due to:
•	the impact of wage increases ($2.252 million); and
•	a one-off reduction in employee costs in 2006‑07 associated with the changes to the financial arrangements with Housing ACT for the provision of organisational support services ($0.407 million);
partially offset by
•	the effect of 2006‑07 Budget savings ($1.495 million); 
•	the full year effect of the 2006‑07 transfer to supplies and services in line with consolidating human resource and finance functions ($0.895 million); and
•	a decrease in the notional superannuation contribution rates ($0.358 million). 
•	supplies and services:  
–	the decrease of $3.721 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to: 
•	the realignment of expenditure to employee expenses ($1.827 million); 
•	the reclassification of expenditure to grants and purchased services ($2.050 million); 
•	the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements to finance leases ($0.196 million); and
•	the deferral of some programs to 2007‑08 ($0.087 million);
partially offset by:
•	additional expenditure relating to the National Multicultural Festival ($0.220 million); and
•	expenditure for programs deferred from 2005‑06 ($0.170 million).
–	the increase of $0.614 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	indexation ($0.641 million);
•	the full year effect of the 2006‑07 transfer from employee expenses in line with consolidating human resource and finance functions ($0.895 million);
•	additional repairs and maintenance ($1.6 million); 
•	increased payments to Shared Services ($0.3 million);
•	funding for the ACT Indigenous elected body ($0.3 million); and
•	programs deferred from 2006‑07 ($0.087 million); 
partially offset by:
•	the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements to finance leases ($0.212 million);
•	one-off expenditure in 2006‑07 from additional own sourced revenue and programs deferred from 2005‑06 ($0.656 million);
•	one-off expenditure in 2006‑07 for the community sector interface project ($0.250 million); and
•	the effect of 2006‑07 Budget savings ($1.967 million).
•	depreciation and amortisation:  
–	the increase of $0.155 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the impact of the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements to finance leases; and
–	the increase of $0.442 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is mainly due to the full year effect of the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements ($0.167 million) and the full year effect of completed capital works projects.
•	borrowing costs:  
–	the increase of $0.041 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the impact of the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements to finance leases; and
–	the increase of $0.045 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is mainly due to the full year effect of the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements.
•	grants and purchased services:  
–	the increase of $1.412 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to:
•	the reclassification of expenditure from supplies and services ($2.050 million); 
•	expenditure for programs deferred from 2005–06 ($0.945 million).
partially offset by:
•	the transfer of funding to the Chief Minister’s Department for the Community Initiatives Fund ($0.410 million); and
•	the deferral of some programs to 2007–08 ($1.173 million).
–	the increase of $7.070 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is mainly due to:
•	new initiatives for 2007‑08:
-	increased service capacity to meet current priority demand for disability services ($3 million); 
-	return to work assistance for Indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse, and low income women ($0.125 million); 
-	Audrey Fagan Foundation Scholarship ($0.060 million); and
-	Indigenous trainee program ($0.020 million); 
•	program deferred from 2006‑07 ($1.081 million);
•	increase in funding under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program ($0.129 million);
•	the transfer of the Community Services Grants from ACT Health ($0.491 million); and
•	indexation ($2.027 million).
Balance Sheet
•	current assets: 
–	the increase of $1.957 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to an increase in receivables for recoveries for IT services and GST; and 
–	the decrease of $1 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is due to the reduction in cash balances held by the Department.
•	non current assets:  
–	the decrease of $7.915 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to: 
•	the rollover of the capital works project for the New Youth Detention Centre ($10.500 million) into 2007‑08;
partially offset by:
•	the revaluation of land transferred from the Land Development Agency for capital works projects completed in 2006‑07 ($2.5 million).
–	the increase of $35.905 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is largely due to the expected completion of the new Youth Detention Centre.
•	current liabilities:  
–	the increase of $6.321 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to:
•	the reclassification of employee benefits from non-current liabilities under changes to the Australian Accounting Standards ($3.864 million);
•	the impact of wage increases ($0.478 million);
•	the impact of the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements to finance leases ($0.322 million); 
•	an increase in creditors ($0.439 million); and
•	growth in employee benefits.
–	the increase of $1.069 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is largely due to the impact of wage increases and the expected growth in employee benefits.
•	non-current liabilities:  
–	the decrease of $2.493 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to:
•	the reclassification of employee benefits to current liabilities under changes to the Australian Accounting Standards ($3.864 million); 
partially offset by:
•	the impact of the change in motor vehicle lease arrangements to finance leases ($1.324 million).
–	the decrease of $0.168 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is mainly due to a reduction in the liability for finance leases, partially offset by expected growth in employee benefits.

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 decrease of $0.209 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the rollover of a small proportion of the ACT concessions program to 2007‑08; and
–	the increase of $1.770 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is due to a projected increase in the level of concessions payments and indexation.
•	grants from the Commonwealth:  the increase of $0.146 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is due to an increase in funding under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program ($0.129 million) and the Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement ($0.012 million).
