Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $326,000 to $5.085 million in 2011/12. The decrease relates to:
- an expenditure transfer to 2012/13 for the Brand Health Survey ($70,000)
- a fiscally neutral realignment of costs to reflect changes in the Department's cost allocation model ($239,000), and
- a retention of underspends resulting from savings initiatives in corporate functions in 2011/12 to fund the cost of change in the Department ($17,000).
