Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $26.793 million to $262.386 million for 2015/16 due to:
- a $28.092 million forecast change in 2015/16 for continued increases in visa volumes primarily related to the Asian visitor market and also in the residence and work areas
- new funding of $2.950 million in 2015/16 for enhanced immigration marketing, attraction and compliance functions
- a $427,000 transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 2015/16 to provide increased Pacific labour mobility in the fisheries and construction sectors across New Zealand for the Recognised Seasonal Employer programme
- a $261,000 transfer from 2014/15 to fund the Immigration Global Management System (IGMS), and
- a $63,000 transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 2015/16 to extend the Pacific Regional Immigration Identity Fraud Project until December 2016.
The increase was partly offset by a transfer to 2016/17 of $5 million for the IGMS. The focus on delivering the Identity Management solution has resulted in deferral of other IGMS components and the associated operating expenditure.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
Policy Advice - ACC
This category increased by $200,000 to $2.151 million due to a transfer from the Related Services to Ministers - ACC category to reflect the current work programme.
Policy Advice - Employment
This category decreased by $624,000 to $1.533 million due to a $600,000 transfer to Departmental Output Expense: Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment - Employment Sector Analysis and Facilitation to reflect the current work programme. This includes establishing a contingency in 2015/16 for the costs of any job fairs run by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
In addition, the baseline decreased by $24,000 due to a contribution to the Crown to assist with the Growing Up in New Zealand initiative.
Policy Advice - Immigration
This category decreased by $1.850 million to $4.188 million due to:
- a $250,000 baseline contribution to the Crown to assist with the Growing Up in New Zealand initiative, and
- a $1.600 million transfer to 2016/17 due to the migrant research programme being delayed as a result of a change in focus to migration impact on the labour market.
Policy Advice - Workplace Relations and Safety
This category increased by $1.292 million to $7.492 million due to a $1.300 million transfer from the Related Services to Ministers - Workplace Relations and Safety category to reflect the current work programme.
This increase is partly offset by an $8,000 contribution to the Crown to assist with the Growing Up in New Zealand initiative.
