Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $2,000 to $15.161 million in 2011/12. This increase relates to:
- new funding for the Immigration Global Management System ($21,000)
- expenditure transfers from 2010/11 for the Strengthening Partnership Programme with Pacific States: Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme ($50,000), the Department-wide Leadership and Change Development Programme ($23,000)
- a fiscally neutral transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade for the Strengthening Partnership Programme with Pacific States: Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme ($860,000).
This is partially offset by a decrease in funding relating to:
- a fiscally neutral realignment of costs to reflect changes in the Department's cost allocation model ($906,000)
- a retention of underspends resulting from savings initiatives in corporate functions in 2011/12 to fund the cost of change in the Department ($46,000).
