1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#

Output Expenses

The increasing trend for Output Expenses is due to:

additional funding for WorkSafe New Zealand from 2018/19 to enable a better intelligence-led and technology enabled approach to the prevention of work-related harm
funding for equitable pay for care and support workers from 2017/18
additional funding for ACC related appropriations due to a one-off realignment of costs between appropriations in 2019/20 and changes to ACC funding settings from 2020/21, and
additional funding from the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund to address its impacts, including Jobs And Skills Hubs, and addressing temporary migrant worker exploitation.

Benefits or Related Expenses

The fluctuating trend for Benefits and Related Expenses relates to the provision of income maintenance, independence allowance, and other compensation payments for claims on the ACC Non-Earners' Account and the ACC Treatment Injury Account.

Other Expenses

The trend in Other Expenses is due to:

increased funding for He Poutama Rangatahi for 2020/21 and future outyears
one-off funding in 2020/21 for concessionary loans to WorkSafe New Zealand, and
one-off funding in 2020/21 to support workers and workplaces through the COVID-19 response.

Capital

The fluctuating trend for Capital Expenditure is due to the varying capital injections and loans provided to WorkSafe New Zealand to support the delivery of its functions with a majority of this funding being in 2021/22 and 2022/23.

Multi-Category Output Expenses

The increasing trend to 2021/22 for the Multi-Category Output Expenses is due to:

increased costs to manage increased visa processing volumes prior to the closure of the New Zealand border
changes to the New Zealand Settlement Strategy, with emphasis on the national network of migrant resource services and the Refugee and Migrant Service
additional funding for the Integrity and Security of the New Zealand Immigration System to address non-compliance in the Immigration system and prevent maritime mass arrivals from 2019/20, and
funding in 2020/21 and 2021/22 for the newly established Maori Trades and Training Fund.

Non-Tax Revenue

The increasing trend of Non-Tax Revenue is due to:

a one-off increase in 2018/19 for the Health and Safety at Work Levy due to a change in revenue recognition policy, and
increases in the Health and Safety at Work Levy, due to levy increases from 1 April 2020.
