Part 6.2 - Non-Departmental Capital Expenditure#
Community Services Card Reimbursements (M63)#
Scope of Appropriation
Provision to reimburse low-income earners who are eligible for, but are yet to receive, a Community Services Card in accordance with the criteria set out in regulation 5(1) of the Health Entitlement Cards Regulations 1993.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will decrease by $66,000 to $104,000 for 2007/08. The decrease is due to a greater reduction in the usage of Community Services Card than expected.
Recoverable Assistance (M63)#
Scope of Appropriation#
Facility for low-income earners and beneficiaries to access means-tested assistance to enable them to meet essential and immediate needs, or costs in specific circumstances. Criteria are set out in the Welfare Programme for Recoverable Assistance for Non-Beneficiaries pursuant to section 124(1)(d) of the Social Security Act 1964; Ministerial Direction for Advance Payment of Benefits pursuant to section 5 of the Social Security Act 1964 and recoverable Special Needs Grants in relevant parts of Welfare Programme for Special Needs Grants pursuant to section 124(1)(d) of the Social Security Act 1964.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation will increase by $3.229 million to $118.287 million for 2007/08. The increase was the result of higher than anticipated average payment per loan and an increase in the appropriation to reduce the likelihood of an overspend.
Student Loans (M63)#
Scope of Appropriation#
Provision of loans to tertiary students undertaking studies at approved tertiary institutions to assist with fees, course-related expenses and living costs. These loans are repayable at a set rate on income earned over a set threshold.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation will decrease by $52.168 million to $1,216.238 million for 2007/08 reflecting fewer loan borrowers than expected. The number of loan borrowers was anticipated to continue to rise in response to the interest free policy introduced in 2006. The actual increase has been less than expected. This effect is partially offset by the anticipated flow-on effect from baseline funding of tertiary education institutions.
