INTRODUCTION

The Portfolio Statements 2010-11 outlines financial and non-financial information about the services provided to, and on behalf of, the community by each portfolio. The following discussion outlines key aspects of the financial statements.

Financial statements

The financial statements included in the Portfolio Statements 2010-11 are special purpose financial statements and include, for each portfolio, a statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the Model Financial Statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared:

• on a basis that is consistent with Australian Accounting Standards — Australian Accounting Standards and/or interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been early adopted;

• using accounting policies expected to be used in preparing historically orientated general purpose financial statements for that year, and the same accounting policies have been used for the subsequent forecast years (forward estimates);

• on an accrual basis except for the statement of cash flows which has been derived from the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position to reflect cash payments and receipts; and

• using historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities that are valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.

Portfolio statements typically reflect a consolidation of controlled items within each portfolio.

In the process of reporting on portfolios, intra-group transactions and balances are eliminated in full. This enables the financial statements of the portfolio to be presented as that of an individual entity. The commentary at the commencement of the financial statement for each portfolio identifies which entities have been included in the consolidated statements for that portfolio. Where a portfolio contains a single agency, only the agency statements are provided.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for and reported on separately to transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Definitions

Portfolio

A portfolio is an entity that provides management coordination and administrative support for a defined group of agencies. A portfolio may comprise a single agency.

Agency

An agency is an administrative unit created under the Public Sector Act 2009 or a statutory authority that is accountable for the delivery of programs on behalf of the government.

Programs and sub-programs

A program is a grouping of related sub-programs or activities that contributes to the achievement of a particular agency’s and, in turn, the government’s objectives. A sub-program is a grouping of activities that contribute to a more specific objective.

Overview of portfolio statements

The portfolio statements outline projected portfolio activity and performance for 2010-11. Each portfolio statement conforms to the following standard presentation structure:

Portfolio summary

• Ministerial responsibilities — details minister, agency, program, sub-program and administered items relationships and responsibilities

• Portfolio net cost of service summary (where the portfolio comprises more than one agency) — a summary of total agency cost of services

• Investing payments summary (where the portfolio comprises more than one agency) — total agency investing payments

• Workforce summary — total workforce details

• Portfolio financial statements (where the portfolio comprises more than one agency) — budgeted financial statements for controlled items

• Ministerial office resources — details of resources provided to ministerial office.

Agency summary

• Objective — details of agency objectives

• 2010-11 Targets/2009-10 Highlights — targets for the budget year and highlights for the prior year

• Program net cost of services summary — summary of the net cost of agency programs

• Investing payments summary — the investing payments for the agency

• Program information — a description/objective, summary income statement and commentary and performance measures for individual agency sub-programs

• Financial statements — budgeted financial statements for controlled and administered items

• Financial commentary — major variations — commentary on variances and trends in the financial statements.

Presentation of changes in program structures

Where an agency is transferred between portfolios, program information for previous years is reflected in the current program structure of the receiving portfolio. Similarly, where programs or sub-programs are transferred between agencies information is reflected in the receiving agency’s program structure.

In contrast, the agency financial statements line ‘net cost of providing services’ in the statement of comprehensive income is based on the actual program structure for the agency as it operated or is expected to operate in each year. This distinction in treatment is drawn so that financial statements accurately reflect events while, at the same time, program information is comparable and not duplicated.

Reconciliation of the financial statements to the current program structure is contained in the program net cost of services summary located at the beginning of each relevant agency section.

Portfolio changes

Environment and Conservation and the River Murray

Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation has been removed from this portfolio to create a new portfolio called ‘Water’ which contains the Department for Water; with four programs and ten sub-programs.

The remaining entities of Department of Environment and Natural Resources (formerly Department for Environment and Heritage), Environment Protection Authority and Zero Waste SA are now contained in a renamed portfolio of Environment.

Further transfers of administrative functions from the Rail Commissioner to the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (general government sector) are proposed to occur later in 2010-11. Due to the timing of the approval, the transfer of functions between TransAdelaide and the Rail Commissioner is not reflected in the 2010-11 Budget.

Net Cost of Sub-program $137 351 000 -$101 361 000 -$91 422 000 -$4 245 000

Reason for Variance

Expenditure

The 2010-11 Budget reflects additional expenditure associated with the Greater Edinburgh Parks road development and the reallocation of State Black Spot Cycling expenditure from Sub-program 11.1 Safer Roads.

The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects an increase in depreciation costs associated with a change in depreciation policy.

The 2009-10 Budget reflects a reclassification of corporate overheads to Sub-program 3.2 Transport Safety Regulation. The 2009-10 Budget also reflects expenditure on road resurfacing and rehabilitation works being reclassified from operating expenditure to investing expenditure and transferred to the investing program.

The 2008-09 Actual contains maintenance expenditure under the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan.

The 2008-09 Actual, 2009-Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget incorporate a transfer of depreciation to Sub-program 2.2 Operating and Maintaining Marine Facilities and Sub-program 2.3 Managing Public Transport Infrastructure Assets. As this transfer was made at the time of the 2008-09 Actual, it was not reflected in the 2009-10 Budget figures.

Revenue

The 2010-11 Budget reflects lower Commonwealth revenue following completion of the Northern Expressway and Sturt Highway upgrade.

The 2009-10 Estimated Result includes reimbursements from other government agencies for works done on their behalf and accelerated receipt of Commonwealth funding for the Northern Expressway.

The 2009-10 Budget reflects increased Commonwealth funding for the Northern Expressway, South Road Superway and the O-Bahn City Access projects. The 2009-10 Budget also contains additional reimbursement works for road infrastructure.

Financial commentary — major variations

The following commentary relates to the agency financial statements presented in the previous section. The discussion relates to the variations between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and the 2010-11 Budget.

Statement of comprehensive income — controlled

Expenses

Operating expenses are budgeted to increase by $31.5 million, from $1285.2 million to $1316.7 million. This variation is predominantly due to the following items:

new initiatives and additional expenditure for operating programs, including:

– $14.6 million associated with the development of council owned roads in the Greater Edinburgh Parks area;

– $12.2 million associated with the transfer of the Riverside Building fitout asset to tenant agencies; and

– $6.6 million of operating costs associated with the relocation of the rail yards to Dry Creek.

Offset by:

Once-off expenditure of $13.6 million in 2009-10 relating to targeted voluntary separation packages.

Income

Operating income is budgeted to decrease by $85.6 million, from $1393.6 million to $1308.0 million.

This variation is predominantly due to the following items:

a reduction of $197.4 million in intra-government transfers associated with Commonwealth National Partnership payments for the Northern Expressway and Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan Black Spot and Level Crossing Boom Gate programs;

a reduction of $58.3 million in Commonwealth revenues associated with the Sturt Highway Upgrade and other Commonwealth program funding paid direct to the department;

a reduction of $19.6 million in revenue due to the transfer of the SA Government Radio Network to the Justice portfolio as at 1 April 2010; and

$6.3 million in once-off revenue in 2009-10 for land transfers associated with the Murray Bridge Railway Precinct.

7.57

Offset by:

an increase of $161.6 million in intra-government transfers associated with Commonwealth National Partnership receipts for the Seaford Rail Line, Gawler Line Modernisation, O-Bahn City Access, South Road Superway, Adelaide to Melbourne Road Corridor, North-South Corridor Initiatives and Road Side Rest Area Strategy;

an increase of $18.1 million in revenue from motor vehicle registration and driver’s licence fees; and

an increase of $11.6 million in grants and subsidies income associated with capital contributions towards the State Aquatic Centre (Commonwealth and City of Marion) and the Brighton Community Performing Arts Centre (City of Holdfast Bay).

Statement of financial position — controlled

There is no significant movement in the forecast total for current assets.

The forecast increase in non-current assets of $697.5 million is predominantly due to an expanded capital program in 2010-11, less movements in accumulated depreciation.

There is no significant movement in the forecast total for current liabilities.

The forecast increase in the total for non-current liabilities is associated with an increase in the long service liability of $7.5 million.

Statement of cash flows — controlled

Net cash provided by operating activities is forecast to decrease by $230.5 million from $767.2 million to $536.7 million. This is predominantly due to a large reclassification of operating appropriation to contributed capital in 2010-11, together with the increased expenditures and decreased revenues identified in the variance commentary for the statement of comprehensive income.

Net cash used in investing activities is forecast to decrease by $56.3 million from $997.3 million to $941.0 million. This is predominantly a result of reduced expenditure on investing projects which were completed in 2009-10, or are budgeted for completion during 2010-11. These projects include the Light Rail Extension, Northern Expressway, Relocation of the Rail Yards and Glenelg Tram Overpass. This is partially offset by increased expenditure in 2010-11 on the Seaford rail line, South Road Superway, Noarlunga line electrification, O-Bahn City Access and bus purchases for outer metropolitan services.

Net cash inflow from financing activities is forecast to increase by $62.7 million from $368.3 million to $431.0 million. The increase primarily relates to increased capital contributions from the Government of South Australia to support non-road investing projects.

Statement of comprehensive income — administered items

The budgeted increase in total income and expenditure in 2010-11 is predominantly due to the collection and disbursement of third party insurance premiums, Real Property Act 1886 charges and stamp duty.

Statement of financial position — administered items

There is no significant movement in the forecast total for net assets.

7.58

Statement of cash flows — administered items

The variance commentary provided for the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position applies equally to the statement of cash flows.

1. Operate and Maintain Metropolitan Rail Passenger Transport Services ...........................7.66



7.63

PORTFOLIO: TRANSPORT, ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE


Objective

To operate and maintain metropolitan rail passenger transport services.

Cabinet has approved the transfer of all staff, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures from TransAdelaide to the Rail Commissioner (public non-financial corporations sector) effective from 1 September 2010 as part of the government's strategy to integrate the administration of public transport. Further transfers of administrative functions from the Rail Commissioner to the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (general government sector) are proposed to occur later in 2010-11.

Due to the timing of the approval, the transfer of functions between TransAdelaide and the Rail Commissioner is not reflected in the 2010-11 Budget.



Achieve patronage growth on trains and trams (allowing for line closures and service disruptions while major projects are undertaken)

Assist in the provision of major infrastructure projects managed by the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

Continue refurbishment of the 3000/3100 class railcar fleet, with a further 40 per cent of fleet completed

Achieved patronage growth on trains and trams (allowing for closure of both the Outer Harbor and Gawler lines for major upgrade works)

Net Cost of Program $4 169 000 $4 939 000 $2 079 000 -$485 000

Reason for Variance

Work undertaken by TransAdelaide on the Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure’s (DTEI’s) major rail programs is reimbursed by the department at the time works are completed, and is reflected in TransAdelaide’s statement of comprehensive income as both revenue and expenditure. There is no additional net operating impact to government as a result of these transactions.

The 2009-10 Budget reflects an anticipated increase in expenditure and revenues linked to DTEI’s rail infrastructure investment program.

The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects variations within DTEI rail infrastructure projects, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense as a result of the revaluation of TransAdelaide’s 50 railcars.

The 2010-11 Budget reflects a reduction in total rail infrastructure works being performed on behalf of DTEI.

The following commentary relates to the agency financial statements presented in the previous section. The discussion relates to the variations between the 2009-10 Estimated Results and the 2010-11 Budget.

Statement of comprehensive income— controlled

Expenditure

Operating expenditure is budgeted to decrease by $18.9 million, from $137.7 million in 2009-10 to $118.8 million in 2010-11. This is primarily due to:

a $21.0 million reduction in supplies and services expenditure associated with external works anticipated to be undertaken in 2010-11; and

a write-down of the provision for insurance claims of approx $1.3 million in 2009-10 following the review and finalisation of claims.

Offset by:

a $2.4 million increase in employee expenses in 2010-11 associated with an increase in operational rail employees for the relocation of the railcar depot, and additional maintenance and track protection.

Revenue

Operating revenue is budgeted to decrease by $18.1 million, from $132.8 million in 2009-10 to $114.7 million in 2010-11. This is primarily due to an anticipated reduction in external works revenue in 2010-11.


There is no significant movement in the forecast for the statement of financial position.


The variance commentary provided for the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position applies equally to the statement of cash flows.

8.2

PORTFOLIO: HEALTH

The Health Care Act 2008 was proclaimed by His Excellency the Governor in Executive Council and came into force on 1 July 2008. The Act creates a unified health system for South Australia, improving statewide coordination and integration of public health services, reducing fragmentation and duplication of services and streamlining governance arrangements. A key component of the Health Care Act 2008 was the establishment of the Health Performance Council to provide independent advice to the Minister for Health on the operation and performance of the health system.

The Health portfolio is comprised of the Department of Health, metropolitan health regions, Country Health SA and SA Ambulance Service, with transactions occurring between these entities.

The financial results, budgets and program structure of the Health portfolio for the 2010-11 Portfolio Statements are presented as one consolidated Health entity, which includes the elimination of transactions that occur between each of the entities that comprise Health.

The program structure has been amended in the 2010-11 Portfolio Statements to reflect changes in governance arrangements within the Health portfolio.

On 1 July 2010, the new single metropolitan region, Adelaide Health Service Incorporated, was proclaimed by His Excellency the Governor in Executive Council. This service has been established from the amalgamation of the whole undertakings of the Central Northern Adelaide Health Service Incorporated and Southern Adelaide Health Service Incorporated.

As at 1 July 2010, two regions now manage the provision of health services within the metropolitan area: Adelaide Health Service and Children, Youth and Women’s Health Service. The country area is represented by a single country health service, Country Health SA. The intent of Country Health SA is to provide a more integrated system of care across country South Australia. In addition, Country Health SA has the responsibility for Incorporated Aboriginal Health Services and Community Controlled Aboriginal Health Services.

These regions are responsible for the provision of health services in accordance with the Health Care Act 2008 and performance agreements.

Revenue $1 041 000 $5 069 000 $650 000 $3 082 000


Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget mainly relates to revenue associated with Commonwealth agreements signed after the 2009-10 Budget was set that are reflected in the 2008-09 Actual. This includes the Expanded Specialist Training Program ($1.7 million) and blood, organ and tissue related funding for tissue typing services and Blood Safe e-learning program ($0.6 million). The 2009-10 Budget included an increase in funding for the Blood, Organ And Tissue Unit to reflect additional activity ($1.9 million) and initiatives around the recruitment and retention of nurses and midwives ($1.6 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result primarily relates to increased funding during 2009-10 for pharmaceutical services associated with high cost pharmacy drugs ($6.8 million) and the South Australian Institute of Medical Education and Training (SA IMET) ($1 million). Additional funding in 2009-10 was partly offset by the transfer of expenditure authority to health regions and SA Ambulance Service (Program 3 Health Services) for a range of programs including the Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce program ($2.5 million). The 2009-10 Estimated Result also reflects additional Commonwealth revenue for the Blood, Organ and Tissue Unit for the National Reform Package and Blood Safe e-learning program ($3.2 million) and for the SA IMET expanded specialist training program ($1.3 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget relates mostly to increased funding in 2010-11 for pharmaceutical services associated with high cost pharmacy drugs ($1.2 million) and once-off transfers in 2009-10 to health regions and the SA Ambulance Service ($1.0 million) for safety and quality programs including the Advance Incident Management System. The 2009-10 Estimated Result includes once-off Commonwealth revenue for the Blood, Organ And Tissue Unit for the National Reform Package ($2.9 million) and for the SA IMET expanded specialist training program ($1.3 million).


The 2009-10 Estimated Result for red blood cell packs issued in South Australia represents a 4.4 per cent reduction against the original supply plan set in early 2009, reflecting improvements in appropriate blood utilisation during the period.

(a) Intern placements occur over a calendar year — the data therefore relates to the calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011.

(b) The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects projected demand for internships for Australian medical graduates.

(c) Blood targets are based on national supply plans submitted to Health Ministers in March–April of each year for the following financial year. The reduced 2010-11 Target reflects the strategies being implemented to reduce inappropriate blood use in the public sector.

(d) The 2009-10 Estimated Result is based on the mid-year budget review conducted in February 2010.

Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget primarily relates to the transfer of royalty receipts from intellectual property associated with the Health and Medical Research Fund (HMRF) from the responsibility of SA Health to the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute ($5.1 million) upon its establishment. The 2008-09 Actual also reflects Commonwealth revenue and associated expenditure authority for the HealthConnect SA initiative ($1 million) which ceased in 2008-09 and once-off revenue and expenditure authority for population research and outcome studies ($1.1 million). The 2009-10 Budget reflected the 2009-10 expenditure commitments to the HMRF ($5.3 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result mostly relates to the transfer of funding for the Health Intelligence Unit during 2009-10 to Program 3 Health Services ($10.5 million). In addition, during 2009-10 the Government of South Australia approved an amended funding arrangement for the initial years of the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute operations which has impacted on the timing of the transfer of responsibility for the HMRF. The increase in revenue in the 2009-10 Estimated Result is primarily as a result of SA Health retaining responsibility for the HMRF in 2009-10 and also reflects increased revenue for the receipt of royalties from intellectual property ($5 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget primarily relates to the 2010-11 contribution by SA Health towards the initial operations of the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute ($3.5 million). The 2010-11 Budget also includes additional revenue and expenditure authority associated with the once-off transfer of funds to the Minister of Health from existing health practitioner registration boards that will fall under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for Health Practitioners ($0.9 million). In addition, the 2010-11 Budget reflects increased revenue for the receipt of royalties from intellectual property ($1.0 million) and the Cancer Council of South Australia ($0.8 million).

Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget primarily relates to Commonwealth revenue ($0.9 million) received in 2008-09 but not reflected in the 2009-10 Budget for programs including the Cancer Service Networks South Australia project (CanNET SA), Gynaecological Cancers Workforce project and the Palliative Care in the Community initiative.

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result mainly relates to the receipt of Commonwealth revenue ($1.1 million) during 2009-10 for programs including the CanNET SA project, Gynaecological Cancers Workforce project and the Palliative Care in the Community initiative. In addition, revenue was received during 2009-10 associated with the development and implementation of a single adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer service for South Australia and Northern Territory ($0.3 million). The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects a revision in funding responsibilities for the Australian Better Health initiative to the health region.

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget relates primarily to additional funding in 2010-11 for the CanNET SA project ($1.1 million) and deferred expenditure authority from 2009-10 to 2010-11 for projects including the Obesity Prevention and Lifestyle (OPAL) program and Gynaecological Cancers Workforce project ($0.4 million). The 2010-11 Budget includes additional funding and deferred expenditure authority from 2009-10 for the single AYA cancer service for South Australia and Northern Territory ($0.5 million) and additional funding for service modernisation ($0.3 million). The 2010-11 Budget includes additional Commonwealth funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Indigenous Early Childhood Development ($0.5 million) and National Partnership Agreement on Preventative Health ($0.8 million).


In 2010-11 the Statewide Services Division will:

develop a statewide paediatric service plan and a veterans’ health care plan;

publish the statewide Medical Imaging Plan and Primary Prevention Plan;

continue to implement recommendations from the clinical networks;

establish four new obesity prevention and lifestyle (OPAL) sites in addition to the six established sites;

Net cost of Sub-program $1 851 000 $2 510 000 $2 730 000 $3 063 000

Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result primarily relates to the revision of functions across SA Health relating to the Aboriginal Health Division Liaison and Strategy Team and Community Health Improvement Team which resulted in a reduction in staffing requirements ($1.0 million) partly offset by once-off additional funding associated with the offer of targeted voluntary separation packages in 2009-10 ($0.8 million). In addition, the 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects a reduction in revenue and expenditure authority associated with the change in treatment of the Department for Families and Communities component of funding for the Aboriginal Sobriety Group which from 2009-10 will be provided directly to the organisation ($0.1 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget is mainly due to once-off additional funding associated with the offer of targeted voluntary separation packages in 2009-10 ($0.8 million). The 2010-11 Budget includes additional funding for the state matching component of the South Australian Aboriginal Health Partnership Agreement with the Commonwealth Government ($0.1 million).


During 2009-10, responsibility for the Community Health initiative was transferred from the Aboriginal Health Division to Country Health SA. The Aboriginal Health Division will now have an increased focus on Aboriginal workforce policies and programs, as well as monitoring SA Health’s performance in achieving Aboriginal health outcomes and providing high level cultural advice on matters that impact on Aboriginal health.

(a) The 2009-10 Health Portfolio Statement reported the number of Aboriginal service initiatives implemented. During 2009-10, responsibility for the Community Health initiative was transferred to Country Health SA. This indicator has now been revised to only reflect Aboriginal employment activities.

(b) The scholarship program is administered by calendar year. The 2009-10 and 2010-11 targets are based on funding available for full-time students. As the program supports both full-time and part-time students, actual numbers receiving scholarships will vary depending on the study load status of the students sponsored.

(c) The Aboriginal Health Indicators reflect funding and programs implemented across SA Health.

(d) Reporting by a calendar year is the convention for these performance indicators. The 2008-09 Actual reflects 2008 data and the 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects 2009 data.

Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget mostly relates to the change in accounting treatment for the private public partnership (PPP) for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital (previously project management and consulting costs were reflected as capital expenditure but are now included as operating expenditure), once-off adjustments in 2008-09 for the transfer of the South Australian Distribution Centre to SA Health and increases in insurance provisions. In addition, the 2008-09 Actual includes a part year impact of functions transferred to Shared Services SA and the further centralisation of information and communication technology (ICT) services. The 2009-10 Budget included additional revenue associated with the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result mainly relates to the centralisation of SA Health’s supply chain and procurement process and associated recognition of additional acquisition of warehouse stock, continued centralisation of ICT functions and additional funding associated with the change to a WorkCover levy single registration. The 2009-10 Estimated Result also reflects the change in accounting treatment for the PPP for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, increase in insurance provisions to reflect an actuarial adjustment and additional funding for telecommunications and the Health LEADS Project. In addition, $21.2 million in revenue for the Commonwealth funded South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute was revised across forward years to reflect the amended construction plan.

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget primarily relates to the additional funding in 2009-10 associated with the change to a WorkCover levy single registration, additional funding for telecommunications and the offer of targeted voluntary separation packages in 2009-10. The 2010-11 Budget reflects a reduction in Commonwealth revenue and increased expenditure associated with the transfer of the responsibility for the construction of the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute facility and donation of the asset to the institute.

Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget mainly relates to additional revenue in 2008-09 for the Commonwealth Australian Immunisation Agreement for the Pneumococcal Universal Childhood Vaccine ($5 million), downward revisions to population estimates for 2007-08 and 2008-09 ($1.5 million) and once-off essential vaccine funding in 2008-09 for the Commonwealth Human Papilomavirus (HPV) Vaccine Program ($6 million). In addition, the 2008-09 Actual includes Commonwealth revenue for the Public Health Outcomes Funding Agreement ($4.3 million) which ceased in 2008-09. The reduction in expenditure from 2008-09 to 2009-10 primarily relates to additional funding received in 2008-09 for the Australian Immunisation Agreement.

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result primarily relates to additional funding during 2009-10 associated with the National Partnership Agreement on Essential Vaccines ($4.2 million) including Pneumovax and Infanrix Hexa and additional funding associated with the H1N1 vaccine rollout ($1.6 million). In addition, the 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects deferred expenditure from 2008-09 net of deferred expenditure from 2009-10 to 2010-11, associated with immunisation programs such as the HPV vaccine ($3.1 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget mostly relates to additional funding during 2009-10 associated with the H1N1 vaccine rollout ($1.6 million) and reflects deferred expenditure for immunisation programs from 2008-09 ($6.1 million). In addition, revenue and expenditure authority was deferred from 2009-10 to 2010-11 ($2.8 million) associated with immunisation programs including the HPV vaccine.

(a) The increase in the 2009-10 Estimated Result compared to the 2009-10 Target is due to the implementation of a pandemic vaccination program and the addition of the medical risk group to the funded influenza program during 2009-10. It is anticipated that vaccine distribution levels will reduce to the 2009-10 Target levels in 2010-11.

(b) The increase in the 2009-10 Estimated Result compared to 2009-10 Target is due to improvements in the reporting of information by general practices to the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register.

(c) The marginal reduction in the 2010-11 Target of 64 per cent reflects the current number of women screened and is consistent with national cervical cancer screening trends. The 2010-11 Target remains set above the national average of 61.2 per cent.

(d) The proportion of licences subject to review did not meet the target in 2009-10. Pest controller and poison license reviews not undertaken in 2009-10 are intended to be completed in 2010-11.

(e) The increase in food samples analysed in 2008-09 and 2009-10 is due to the number of surveys undertaken involving large numbers of food samples.

(f) The general reduction in expiation notice numbers is due to increased clarity in tobacco legislation reducing inadvertent non-compliance. The continuing suspension of controlled purchase operations has also reduced the numbers of expiation notices served in 2009-10.

(g) Inspection numbers were lower during 2009-10 due to the focus of operations on workplaces and country premises, which entail longer inspection times.

(h) The 2009-10 Target was set at 200 in anticipation of the $20 million Australian Government Water Smart Australia Program funding an increased number of wastewater projects. This combined with increased development in the unincorporated areas of South Australia (areas not covered by local government) led to the increased number of approvals issued. The Water Smart Australia Program funding ceases in 2009-10 and an associated reduction in applications for 2010-11 is anticipated.

Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget is mainly attributable to annual indexation including approved enterprise agreements, growth in funding received in 2009-10 to meet continued service volume increases, and additional funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform. The funding growth in 2009-10 for the Adelaide Health Service is offset by increased savings initiatives and expenditure in 2008-09 in excess of funded levels. In addition, funding for programs including the state and Commonwealth funded transition care program was previously reflected under Sub-program 3.4 Other Health Services in the 2009-10 Budget. The 2009-10 Budget also reflected a significant reduction in revenue relating to the change in management of funding received from the Commonwealth. This funding is now received by the Department of Treasury and Finance and provided to SA Health as appropriation.

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result primarily relates to additional enterprise agreement supplementation and increases in Commonwealth and other revenue sources, offset by increased savings initiatives and a recalibration of funding allocations during 2009-10 to align with the current service provision. As part of the 2009-10 Mid-Year Budget Review additional funding was provided in recognition of the continued growth in hospital services and increased depreciation expenditure for 2009-10 and across the forward years to reflect the value of Health’s asset base. The 2009-10 Estimated Result also includes additional revenue and expenditure authority in recognition of the services provided by Medvet Laboratories.

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget mostly relates to annual indexation including enterprise agreements and the continued increase in the volume of services. The 2010-11 Budget also incorporates additional funding from the Commonwealth Government including in the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform and the National Health and Hospitals Network National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services. In addition, funding has been provided in conjunction with the Commonwealth Government, for additional elective surgery procedures and the introduction of the four hour emergency department target. The additional funding in 2010-11 is offset by increased savings initiatives approved as part of the 2010-11 Budget and prior year state budget processes.

(a) This indicator combines public hospital admitted patients, including intensive care unit, emergency department and outpatient service data into a single output measure known as an ‘equisep equivalent’. This is achieved through the weighting of the various services according to their estimated relative resource use in 2009-10. The 2010-11 Target reflects the growth funding associated with prior year state budgets. It is expected that the total resource weighted hospital outputs will remain relatively stable in 2010-11 compared to 2009-10 due to the effective implementation of out of hospital strategies from previous financial years.

(b) The Government of South Australia has committed to a target of 95 per cent of patients, where clinically appropriate, being seen, treated, discharged or admitted to a ward bed within four hours by June 2013. The 2010-11 Target reflects the progressive implementation of this target.

(c) This indicator measures the percentage of elective overnight stay patients who had surgery on the day of their admission to hospital. Higher day of surgery rates are associated with improved patient access and outcomes (for example lower infection rates).

(d) An average satisfaction score of 90 per cent and above reflects a high level of satisfaction and is considered to be the benchmark for performance.

(e) This indicator measures the percentage of total admissions to public hospitals where patients elect to use their private health insurance or pay their own costs. The indicator excludes compensable and Department of Veterans’ Affairs eligible patient admissions.

(f) This indicator measures the actual number of acute care occupied bed days provided by the hospital divided by the expected number of acute care occupied bed days for all hospitals in Australia. The bed days are standardised for case mix and adjusted for age. A relative stay index (RSI) greater than one indicates that actual bed days are higher than expected and an RSI of less than one indicates that actual bed days are lower than expected.

(g) During 2009-10 the methodology for the potentially preventable admission rate performance indicator was revised. The revised calculation methodology measures the number of hospital admissions for conditions that are sensitive to the availability and effectiveness of out of hospital services (including primary and community care) in contrast to the previous indicator which was based on a rate. These conditions include vaccine preventable (for example influenza), potentially preventable acute (for example kidney infection) and potentially preventable chronic conditions (for example asthma). Comparable information for 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget is not available.

(h) This indicator measures the number of hospital avoidance and hospital supported discharge care packages provided to clients in their place of residence enabling them to avoid admission to hospital or facilitate early discharge from hospital. The 2009-10 Estimated Result is below target primarily as a result of improvements in counting of services, the inclusion in the 2009-10 Target of Country Health SA targets (which have been separated out in the 2010-11 Portfolio Statements) and the final budget allocation for 2009-10 was lower than first anticipated. In prior years there has been considerable investment in the out of hospital services program. The 2010-11 Target reflects the review and consolidation of out of hospital services during 2010-11.

(i) This is a new target for 2010-11, it measures the effectiveness of the GP Plus Services Program which aims to reduce demand for hospital services. The measure illustrates the year on year percentage change in equiseps (hospital separations weighted for complexity) for conditions that the GP Plus Services Program is targeting.

(j) This indicator measures the total number of mammograms performed within the financial year. Mammograms in 2009-10 were below target due to radiographer shortages and changes in recruitment campaigns.

(k) The 2009-10 Estimated Result for school dental is significantly above the 2009-10 Target as a result of more clinical preventative services being delivered by dental therapists in 2009-10 in response to increases in dental decay. The 2009-10 Estimated Result for adult dental is below the 2009-10 Target due to the higher cost of providing adult dental services through the private sector.

(l) The 2009-10 Estimated Result for the average dental waiting time for restorative care was above the 2009-10 Target due to delays in staff recruitment leading to a reduction in hours of service. The 2010-11 Target for this indicator has been revised to the median waiting time to reflect the volatility in this indicator.

(m) The 2009-10 Estimated Result for the average dental waiting time for specialist care was significantly below the 2009-10 Target primarily as a result of improvements in the management of waiting lists.

(n) This indicator includes clients accessing withdrawal services and residential rehabilitation.

(o) This indicator reflects those clients registered on a Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia pharmacotherapy program with a current prescription to receive pharmacotherapy medication. This indicator includes attendances across metropolitan and country services.

(p) This is an access indicator that measures the percentage of clients who are identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, receiving selected primary health care services. The significant increase in 2009-10 Estimated Result is due to the introduction of a new counting methodology.

(q) A single statewide pathology service was implemented in July 2008. For the 2010-11 Portfolio Statements, this indicator only reflects the number of diagnostic tests provided by SA Pathology including Flinders Medical Centre workload from February 2010. Women’s and Children’s Hospital actual workload information was not available for 2009-10 and has been excluded from the 2009-10 Estimated Result. The 2010-11 Target reflects the estimated number of diagnostic tests provided across all sites of the SA Pathology Service.

(r) This indicator measures the number of services provided by the Aldinga GP Plus Health Care Centre. The apparent fall in number of client services in 2009-10 Estimated Result is a result of a change in counting methodology. The 2009-10 Target includes estimates for Aldinga and services for clients of the Aldinga catchment area provided by the Seaford Community Health Centre. The 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Target are based on the services provided by the Aldinga GP Plus Health Care Centre only. The 2010-11 Target includes the transfer of outpatient activity from the Lyell McEwin Hospital to the Elizabeth GP Plus Health Care Centre.

Footnotes

(a) This indicator combines public hospital admitted patients, including intensive care unit, emergency department and outpatient service data into a single output measure known as an ‘equisep equivalent’. This is achieved through the weighting of the various services according to their estimated relative resource use in 2009-10. The 2010-11 Target reflects the growth funding associated with prior year state budgets. It is expected that the total resource weighted hospital outputs will remain relatively stable in 2010-11 compared to 2009-10 due to the effective implementation of out of hospital strategies from previous financial years.

(b) The 2009-10 Estimated Result for the percentage of elective surgery patients treated within acceptable timeframes were below 2009-10 Targets due to the 4 per cent higher levels of emergency surgery in 2009-10. The higher emergency surgery had the effect of lengthening elective surgery waiting timeframes as emergency patients are given higher priority for treatment. This is applicable for all forms of elective surgery.

(c) The Government of South Australia has committed to a target of 95 per cent of patients being seen, treated, discharged or admitted to a ward bed within four hours by June 2013. The 2010-11 Target reflects the progressive implementation of this target.

(d) This indicator measures the percentage of elective overnight stay patients who had surgery on the day of their admission to hospital. Higher day of surgery rates are associated with improved patient access and outcomes (for example lower infection rates).

(e) An average satisfaction score of 90 per cent and above reflects a high level of satisfaction and is considered to be the benchmark for performance.

(f) This indicator measures the percentage of total admissions to public hospitals where patients elect to use their private health insurance or pay their own costs. The indicator excludes compensable eligible patient admissions.

(g) This indicator measures the actual number of acute care occupied bed days provided by the hospital divided by the expected number of acute care occupied bed days for all hospitals in Australia. The bed days are standardised for case mix and adjusted for age. A relative stay index (RSI) greater than one indicates that actual bed days are higher than expected and an RSI of less than one indicates that actual bed days are lower than expected.

(h) This indicator measures the number of hospital admissions for conditions that are sensitive to the availability and effectiveness of out of hospital services (including primary and community care). These conditions include vaccine preventable (for example influenza), potentially preventable acute (for example kidney infection) and potentially preventable chronic conditions (for example asthma). During 2009-10 the methodology for the potentially preventable admission rate performance indicator was revised and comparable information for 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget is not available. This indicator has been published for the first time for the Children, Youth and Women’s Health Service in the 2010-11 Portfolio Statements.

(i) This indicator measures the number of hospital avoidance and hospital supported discharge care packages provided to clients in their place of residence enabling them to avoid admission to hospital or facilitate early discharge from hospital. In prior years there has been considerable investment in the out of hospital services program. The 2010-11 Target reflects the review and consolidation of out of hospital services during 2010-11.

(j) This is a new target for 2010-11, it measures the effectiveness of the GP Plus Services Program which aims to reduce demand for hospital services. The measure illustrates the year on year percentage change in equiseps (hospital separations weighted for complexity) for conditions that the GP Plus Services Program is targeting. The 2009-10 Estimated Result for cardiology and interventional cardiology is based on small volumes and therefore results in greater volatility.

(k) Includes services provided by North and West Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Child and Youth Health, Women’s Health Statewide, Second Story, Yarrow Place, Hospital Links, Child and Family Integration Services and Child Protection Services.

(l) This is an access indicator that measures the percentage of clients who are identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, receiving selected primary health care services.

(m) This indicator reflects families who have been offered the program and have accepted. During 2009-10, this program was expanded into country regional areas.

Revenue $214 827 000 $203 079 000 $195 247 000 $360 137 000


Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget is mainly attributable to annual indexation including approved enterprise agreements, growth in funding received in 2009-10 to meet continued service volume increases, and additional funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform. The funding growth in 2009-10 for Country Health SA is offset by increased savings initiatives and expenditure in 2008-09 in excess of funded levels. In addition, funding for programs including the state and Commonwealth funded transition care program was previously reflected under Sub-program 3.4 Other Health Services in the 2009-10 Budget. The 2009-10 Budget also reflected a significant reduction in revenue relating to the change in management of funding received from the Commonwealth. This funding is now received by the Department of Treasury and Finance and provided to SA Health as appropriation.

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result primarily relates to additional enterprise agreement supplementation and increases in Commonwealth and other revenue sources, offset by increased savings initiatives and a recalibration of funding allocations during 2009-10 to align with the current service provision. As part of the 2009-10 Mid-Year Budget Review additional funding was provided in recognition of the continued growth in hospital services. The 2009-10 Estimated Result also includes once-off funding in recognition of payroll tax expenditure for Country Health SA incurred during the regional restructure.

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget mostly relates to annual indexation including enterprise agreements and the continued increase in services. The 2010-11 Budget also incorporates additional funding from the Commonwealth Government including in the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform and the National Health and Hospitals Network National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services. In addition, funding has been provided in conjunction with the Commonwealth Government for additional elective surgery procedures. Funding has also been provided in 2010-11 for local cancer services in rural areas and for a once-off grant contribution to the Royal Flying Doctor Service for the purchase of aircraft. The additional funding in 2010-11 is offset by increased savings initiatives approved as part of the 2010-11 Budget and prior year state budget processes.

Footnotes

(a) This indicator combines public hospital admitted patients, including intensive care unit, emergency department and outpatient service data into a single output measure known as an ‘equisep equivalent’. This is achieved through the weighting of the various services according to their estimated relative resource use in 2009-10. This indicator includes data on nursing home type occupied bed days by the country health units. Country hospitals are categorised as grant and non-grant funded for the purposes of reporting in the 2010-11 Portfolio Statements to align with internal Health portfolio performance monitoring. The 2010-11 Target reflects the growth funding associated with prior year state budgets. It is expected that the total resource weighted hospital outputs will remain relatively stable in 2010-11 compared to 2009-10 due to the effective implementation of out of hospital strategies from previous financial years.

(b) Grant funded health units receive additional budget supplementation per unit of activity compared with larger country health units to compensate for relatively lower activity levels due to location and population size.

(c) An average satisfaction score of 90 per cent and above reflects a high level of satisfaction and is considered to be the benchmark for performance.

(d) This indicator measures the percentage of total admissions to public hospitals where patients elect to use their private health insurance or pay their own costs. The indicator excludes compensable and Department of Veterans’ Affairs eligible patient admissions.

(e) This indicator measures the actual number of acute care occupied bed days provided by the hospital divided by the expected number of acute care occupied bed days for all hospitals in Australia. The bed days are standardised for case mix and adjusted for age. A relative stay index (RSI) greater than one indicates that actual bed days are higher than expected and an RSI of less than one indicates that actual bed days are lower than expected.

(f) During 2009-10 the methodology for the potentially preventable admission rate performance indicator was revised. The revised calculation methodology measures the number of hospital admissions for conditions that are sensitive to the availability and effectiveness of out of hospital services (including primary and community care) in contrast to the previous indicator which was based on a rate. These conditions include vaccine preventable (for example influenza), potentially preventable acute (for example kidney infection) and potentially preventable chronic conditions (for example asthma). Comparable information for 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget is not available.

(g) This indicator measures the number of hospital avoidance and hospital supported discharge care packages provided to clients in their place of residence enabling them to avoid admission to hospital or facilitate early discharge from hospital. In prior years there has been considerable investment in the out of hospital services program. The 2010-11 Target reflects the review and consolidation of out of hospital services during 2010-11.

(h) This is a new target for 2010-11, it represents the effectiveness of the GP Plus Services Program which aims to reduce demand for hospital services. The measure illustrates the year on year percentage change in equiseps (hospital separations weighted for complexity) for conditions that the GP Plus Services Program is targeting.

(i) The 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects the current demand for this scheme. The increased number of payments made under the patient assistance transport scheme in 2008-09 and 2009-10 can be attributed to the increased usage of this scheme in times of economic hardship. Although the number of payments has increased, the average cost per claim has fallen during 2009-10 as a result of improvements to the management of the scheme.

(j) This is an access indicator that measures the percentage of clients who are identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, receiving selected primary health care services. The selected services include: ambulatory and primary health care, palliative care and mental health. This indicator excludes Pika Wiya Health Service.

(k) This indicator is based on the number of children aged 0–5 years in Port Pirie. The 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Target has been reduced compared to the 2009-10 Target as a result of population changes in the target age group. This sample size will remain valid for the measurement of lead levels in the targeted children population of Port Pirie.

Sub-program 3.4: Other Health Services

The Other Health Services sub-program includes:

provision of effective health intelligence;

the management of operational functions and grants by the Department of Health for the delivery of health services by health regions and other health entities;

the provision and management of grants for the delivery of Aboriginal health programs within the Aboriginal community controlled sector; and

the provision and management of grants for the delivery of health and related services by non-government organisations, for example the Royal District Nursing Service, SHine SA, support to community hospitals, and palliative and mental health services.

Revenue $16 035 000 $13 425 000 $9 785 000 $18 448 000


Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget is primarily due to additional funding included in the 2009-10 Budget for mental health related supported accommodation ($13.8 million), National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform ($5.4 million) and National Partnership Agreement on Closing the Gap in Indigenous Health Outcomes ($0.9 million). The 2009-10 Budget for this sub-program also included funding for programs including the state and Commonwealth funded transition care program. The management of these programs is reflected in the health regions in 2009-10 ($14.6 million). In addition, once-off revenue was received in 2008-09 for the Commonwealth Police Drug Diversion initiative ($3.5 million), the Street to Home Program ($0.8 million) and the change in management of funding received from the Commonwealth in 2009-10, including the National Public Health Partnership Agreement ($2.3 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result relates mainly to the transfer of the Health Intelligence Unit from Sub-program 1.2 Policy and Intergovernment Relations ($10.5 million) and the transfer of recognition of interstate patient transfers from health regions to Sub-program 3.4 Other Health Services ($23.5 million) offset by the transfer of the transitional care program ($14.6 million) to health regions and the deferral of expenditure from 2009-10 to 2010-11 related to the supported accommodation project ($8.7 million). In addition, during 2009-10 the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform funding for workforce reform was transferred to health regions ($5.4 million) and funding associated with high cost pharmacy drugs ($6.8 million) was transferred to the Clinical Coordination Division (Sub-program 1.1 Clinical Coordination). The 2009-10 Estimated Result also includes additional Commonwealth revenue associated with the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform for emergency departments and activity based funding ($2 million).

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget primarily relates to additional Commonwealth revenue in 2010-11 associated with the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform for activity based funding ($4.3 million) and additional revenue and expenditure authority for the National Health and Hospitals Network National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services ($1.2 million). The increased revenue in 2010-11 is partly offset by once-off revenue in 2009-10 associated with the National Partnership Agreement on Hospitals and Health Workforce Reform for emergency departments ($1.2 million) and state drought response measures ($1.6 million).

Revenue $73 195 000 $67 997 000 $66 403 000 $59 822 000


Reason for Variance

The variation between the 2008-09 Actual and 2009-10 Budget mainly relates to additional costs backdated to 2006-07 associated with the SA Ambulance Service Paramedic Work Value Enterprise Bargaining Claim in 2008-09 and a change in the treatment of funded lump sum employer super contributions. In addition, the 2009-10 Budget reflected funding for the expansion of the extended care paramedic model of service in 2009-10 which includes the restructure of the SA Ambulance Service fee structure for transported and non-transported clients.

The variation between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result primarily relates to an increase in employer contributions as a result of an actuarial review of SA Ambulance Service Superannuation Fund, additional funding associated with the SA Ambulance Paramedic Work Value Claim and increased depreciation expenditure for 2009-10 and across the forward years to reflect the value of SA Ambulance Service’s asset base.

The variation between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget mostly relates to increased revenue in 2010-11 associated with growth in ambulance workload and community contributions for the Orroroo and Booleroo Stations. In addition, once-off funding was provided during 2009-10 associated with the implementation of the Advanced Incident Management System. The 2010-11 Budget includes additional funding provided in conjunction with the Commonwealth Government for the introduction of the four hour emergency department target. The additional funding in 2010-11 is offset in part by increased savings initiatives approved as part of the 2010-11 Budget and prior year state budget processes.


During 2009-10, the response time baselines for Category A transportation and Category B transportation were reduced from 18 minutes to 16 minutes. Despite this increase in demand and tightening of response time targets, SA Ambulance Service has achieved a majority of their response time targets.

(a) Category A incidents are immediately life threatening.

(b) Category B incidents are urgent but not immediately life threatening.

(c) Category C incidents are non-urgent and not immediately life threatening.

(d) In 2009-10, there was a change to the ambulance transport performance indicators to reduce responses to 16 minutes instead of 18 minutes. Consequently, the 2009-10 Estimated Result is projected to be lower than the response times achieved in 2008-09.

AGENCY: HEALTH



2009-10 Estimated Result to 2010-11 Budget

Total expenditure of the Health portfolio in 2010-11 is estimated to increase by $218.8 million to $4.5 billion when compared to the 2009-10 Estimated Result. The increase in the 2010-11 Budget when compared with the 2009-10 Budget is $424.5 million or 10.5 per cent.

The main factors contributing to the variation in expenditure include:

an additional $131.0 million relating to decisions approved as part of the 2010-11 Budget for hospital expenses and other health related services;

an additional $46.0 million for growth in activity and non-wage costs associated with the provision of health services as announced in previous budgets;

additional resources for indigenous health and additional support for older patients as approved in the 2009-10 Budget of $9.4 million;

National Health and Hospital Network National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services funding of $9.2 million for sub-acute services, mental health services and hospital performance reporting for local hospital networks;

donation of the $8.8 million South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute asset to the institute;

grant contribution to the Royal Flying Doctor Service for the purchase of new aircraft of $6.0 million;

annual indexation by the state government and the Commonwealth Government; offset by

savings and revenue targets approved as part of previous and current state budget, which increase by $74.0 million in 2010-11.

2009-10 Budget to 2009-10 Estimated Result

The total expenditure of the Health portfolio for the 2009-10 Estimated Result is forecast to exceed the 2009-10 Budget by around $205.7 million or 5.1 per cent. Factors contributing to the variation include:

an additional $104.2 million to meet service growth in metropolitan public hospitals;

supplementation of $19.2 million relating to the wages parity (salaried) and visiting medical specialists enterprise agreements;

supplementation of $18.1 million for targeted voluntary separation packages;

a depreciation realignment of $15.6 million associated with the revaluation of assets that occurred in 2008-09;

recognition of a range of additional programs of $11.6 million committed to in 2008-09;

8.43

the recognition of $10.5 million in revenue and expenditure for Medvet Laboratories which forms part of SA Pathology;

an additional $7.8 million associated with Commonwealth funding including spending on Commonwealth National Partnership agreements;

the transfer of $6.2 million to the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure to enable the integration of essential works for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital with the extended tram corridor;

an additional $4.0 million for SA Ambulance Service employee supplementation; and

an additional $3.6 million for the continuation of the illicit drug diversion initiative.


The net position for 2010-11 for the Health portfolio is forecast to improve by $238.4 million to $2.3 billion, when compared with the 2009-10 Estimated Result. The main factors contributing to the increase are associated with an increase in assets related to land and improvements partially offset by a projected increase in employee related liability provisions. The increase in net asset position between the 2009-10 Budget and 2009-10 Estimated Result of $192.9 million is mainly due to the increase in assets related to land and improvements and the need to reflect opening balance adjustments (the difference between the 2008-09 Actual and 2008-09 Estimated Result).


Major resource variations in the statement of cash flows arise mainly from the same factors that give rise to variations in the statement of comprehensive income and movements in items in the statement of financial position.


There are no material resource variations for administered items.

Detailed information in administered items is included in the following table.

PORTFOLIO: EDUCATION AND CHILDREN’S SERVICES


Objective

To ensure that the state’s public education and children’s services offer high quality and responsive services to all South Australians. The main focus of these services will be to ensure that children and students have the opportunity to maximise their potential and aspirations to productively and responsibly participate in and contribute to society.



National Agreements

All Australian governments have committed to achieve the educational outcomes in the National Education Agreement, agreed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in 2008

COAG targets are to:

Lift the Year 12 or equivalent attainment rate to 90 per cent by 2020 (with an interim target for South Australia of 84.7 per cent by 2015 — Youth Attainment and Transitions National Partnership)

Halve the gap for indigenous students in reading, writing and numeracy within a decade

At least halve the gap for indigenous students in Year 12 or equivalent attainment rates by 2020

By 2020, at least 12 per cent of students will exit school with a fluency in one of the four National Asian Languages and Studies in Schools Program (NALSSP) Languages (Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean)

South Australia has also entered into the following National Partnerships impacting on schooling and early childhood education and care:

National Partnership Agreement on Literacy and Numeracy

National Partnership Agreement on Improving Teacher Quality

National Partnership Agreement on Low Socio-economic School Communities (called Communities Making a Difference National Partnership in South Australia)

National Partnership Agreement on the National Quality Agenda for Early Childhood Education and Care

National Partnership Agreement for Indigenous Early Childhood Development

National Partnership Agreement on Early Childhood Education

National Partnership Agreement on Nation Building and Jobs Plan

National Partnership Agreement on TAFE Fee Waivers for Child Care Qualifications

National Agreements

Early Childhood National Partnership Agreements

The three Early Childhood Education and Care National Partnership agreements are supporting South Australia’s early childhood reform agenda

The National Quality Agenda National Partnership incorporating the Early Years Learning Framework is establishing a unified and consistent system to ensure the delivery of quality preschool, family day care and long day care services and outside school hours care

South Australia is implementing the National Partnership on Early Childhood Education to extend access for all children to 15 hours of preschool in the year before school for 40 weeks of the year delivered by a four-year qualified teacher

Under the Indigenous Early Childhood Development National Partnership, DECS is building four Aboriginal child and family centres in collaboration with local Aboriginal communities to provide integrated early childhood development and parenting services for those communities

Communities Making a Difference (CMaD) National Partnership (formerly Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) School Communities National Partnership)

A range of programs have been expanded or implemented under the CMaD National Partnership. Included in these are programs focusing on:

principal leadership mentoring for 150 principals

targeted support for disengaged young people including the Innovative Community Action Network (ICAN) expansion to 144 low SES schools and the School and Community Mentoring programs to 69 low SES Schools

Aboriginal students, with 398 receiving mentoring support across 23 schools in the Northern Adelaide Region in terms 1 and 2

Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership

In August 2009, 14 literacy coaches and 14 numeracy coaches were appointed to work in 31 identified schools in five regions. The partnership coaches support leaders and teachers to implement new approaches to improve student literacy or numeracy skills

Teacher Quality National Partnership

A Teacher Education Taskforce was established to assess the supply and demand for teachers, improve pre-service teacher training and identify potential new pathways into teaching. Members include university deans and government and non-government sector chief executives

9.6



The plan informs overall targets for education and children’s services, which are designed to assist children and young people in the state. The Department of Education and Children’s Services (DECS) has a lead responsibility for the following targets:

By 2014, include Aboriginal cultural studies in the school curriculum with involvement of Aboriginal people in design and delivery (target T4.5 ‘Understanding of Aboriginal culture’)

By 2014, achieve a 10 per cent improvement in the number of children reading at an age appropriate level by the end of Year 1 (target T6.2 ‘Early childhood — Year 1 literacy’)

Increase yearly the proportion of Aboriginal children reading at age appropriate levels at the end of Year 1 (target T6.18 ‘Aboriginal education — early years’)

Improve South Australia’s performance on the Australian Early Development Index (target T6.4 ‘Early childhood — AEDI’)

By 2010, increase by 15 per cent the proportion of students receiving a tertiary entrance rank or equivalent with at least one of the following subjects — mathematics, physics or chemistry (target T6.17 ‘Science and maths’)

Increase yearly the proportion of 15 to 19 year olds who achieve the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) or comparable senior secondary qualification (target T6.16 ‘SACE or equivalent’)

By 2010, 93 per cent of students in Year 3 to achieve the national benchmarks in reading, writing and numeracy (target T6.12 ‘Year 3’)



Intergovernmental Relations

Commence five-year strategic plan cycle for DECS 2011–2015 in the context of reformed Commonwealth-state financial agreements and the National Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians

Recognition and reward of quality teachers will be supported by the introduction of a Step 9 competency based salary level from October 2010 — 6000 DECS teachers are eligible to apply

Building the Education Revolution (BER)

The Commonwealth Government announced its Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan in February 2009. A component of this was the Building the Education Revolution (BER). The Government of South Australia received part of the $944.79 million for small and larger scale education infrastructure as part of BER. The balance will be received in the 2010 financial year. As at June 2010, 467 (out of 559) larger scale school infrastructure projects had commenced and 71 were complete and over 90 per cent of smaller scale projects were complete

Digital Education Revolution (DER)

The Commonwealth Government announced its Digital Education Revolution in January 2008. The following was achieved as at 30 June 2010 for Government of South Australia schools:

99 per cent (14 311) of the computers required to meet the one-to-two ratio have been ordered, 87 per cent (12 604) have been installed. The remaining 1 per cent comprises schools which have either not placed orders or have received funding in lieu of computers. Funding in lieu of computers relates to special schools as agreed to by the Commonwealth Government. Completion required by 31 March 2011

61.8 per cent (24 179) of the computers required to meet the one-to-one ratio ordered, 36.1 per cent (14 115) have been installed. Completion required by 31 December 2011


Target T4.5 ‘Understanding of Aboriginal culture’ — in 2009, 40.5 per cent of the 580 DECS schools are teaching some form of Aboriginal cultural studies as part of their curriculum

Target T6.2 ‘Early childhood — Year 1 literacy’ — in 2009, 67.7 per cent of children were reading at an age appropriate level (steady)

Target T6.18 ‘Aboriginal education — early years’ — in 2009, 29.7 per cent of Aboriginal children were reading at an age appropriate level (steady)

Target T6.4 ‘Early childhood — AEDI’ — in 2009, the AEDI was collected nationwide for the first time. In South Australia:

22.7 per cent are developmentally vulnerable on one or more domains

11.5 per cent are developmentally vulnerable on two or more domains (considered ‘at risk’)

Target T6.17 ‘Science and maths’ — this target will not be met; however this is the second consecutive year that the results have remained stable

Target T6.16 ‘SACE or equivalent’ — in 2009, 67.1 per cent of 19 year old students had completed the SACE

Target T6.12 ‘Year 3’, T6.13 ‘Year 5’ and T6.14 ‘Year 7” — National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) results from 2009 show that in the majority of areas tested across all year levels, South Australian students in years 3, 5 and 7 generally performed at similar or better levels than those tested in 2008. In general, results for Aboriginal students have shown greater improvement (percentage increase) in those reaching the minimum standards than is the case for all students

DECS meets Aboriginal staff target

DECS employed 494 Aboriginal staff in 2009, representing 2 per cent of its employment workforce. This meets South Australia’s Strategic Plan target. Effort continues on increasing the number of Aboriginal staff employed in DECS and ensuring that Aboriginal staff are employed across a range of occupations within DECS

Child Health and Education Support Services (CHESS)

CHESS is a joint collaboration between DECS, SA Health, the Aboriginal Health Council of SA, the Department for Families and Communities, and the Independent and Catholic education sectors, that seeks to support learning, health and wellbeing through the improved coordination of services for children and students with physical and psychological health care needs.

CHESS is committed to providing training to education and care workers. In the period from July 2009 to March 2010, 2956 participants attended 243 training courses covering a range of topics including DECS basic emergency life support, health support planning, medication management, personal care support and specialised first aid for children and students with conditions such as anaphylaxis and epilepsy.

Early years literacy and numeracy

During 2009-10, the DECS Early Years Literacy and Numeracy Program continued to build on the state government’s commitment to literacy and numeracy improvement in the early years.

The program funds a range of initiatives for 303 preschools and 506 schools. The funded components are:

teacher release time for professional learning;

an allocation to provide one-to-one intervention for Year 1 children requiring extra literacy support;

mentor teacher time in disadvantaged schools; and

additional resources for three year old Aboriginal children that support:

literacy teacher positions in 10 centres with eight or more Aboriginal three year olds; and

per capita allocations in another 181 centres.

In 132 schools there were 164 mentor teachers funded to work beside classroom teachers to model and guide effective literacy teaching.

Literacy and Numeracy

The DECS Literacy Secretariat was formed to promote high quality literacy teaching, learning and leadership through a focused approach to literacy improvement for sites and regions Birth to Year 12.

In 2010, the DECS Literacy Improvement Model will be used to build upon current literacy initiatives and developments in sites, regions and central office. The model works to promote agreed and coherent whole site literacy approaches in which explicit and systematic literacy teaching of balanced and integrated literacy learning occurs. The model supports the development of:

focused literacy leadership;

quality literacy teaching;

challenged and engaged literacy learners;

successful literacy pathways and high expectations;

partnerships with families and communities; and

effective use of evidence, data and research.

A range of resources and training programs targeted to build the capacity of teachers and leaders to improve literacy practices and outcomes is being developed or implemented to support the performance of years 3 to 7 students.

In 2009 the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) was conducted for the second time. The DECS results for 2009 are very similar to those for 2008, although the 2009 cohort has a greater percentage of students achieving at or above the national minimum standard than the 2008 cohort, in many aspects, at all year levels.

Approximately 70 per cent of years 3, 5 and 7 Aboriginal students in South Australia are at or above the national minimum standard. The percentages of South Australian Aboriginal students achieving the national minimum standard in all aspects are very similar to the Australian averages for Aboriginal students. Writing at years 3, 5 and 7 is an aspect where South Australian Aboriginal students achieve the national minimum standard at a higher rate than the Australian average.

Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership

The Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership contributes to South Australia’s priorities as a state for improvement and excellence in literacy and numeracy achievement for all school students, in particular primary students, Indigenous students and those falling behind.

The project involves a whole school focus on literacy or numeracy improvement through the placement of 14 literacy partnership coaches and 14 numeracy partnership coaches in 31 identified schools in the Limestone Coast, Northern Adelaide, Southern Adelaide, Barossa and York and Mid North regions. Partnership coaches support school leaders to plan and implement whole school literacy or numeracy improvement and work intensively in class with teachers to embed research based teaching and learning practices that are responsive to student achievement data.

By June 2010 partnership coaches had attended over 20 days of professional learning focussed on developing skills for the coaching role, data analysis, school planning and specific aspects of literacy or numeracy teaching.

Primary Maths and Science Strategy

The Government of South Australia announced in the 2009-10 Budget that $51.1 million received for primary education through the National Education Agreement would be used to support priorities in mathematics, science and literacy in primary school improvement plans and to fund a primary mathematics and science strategy.

To support teachers effectively, a key focus from the start of 2010 has been science, making sure that all teachers in years 3 to 7 have training to implement the curriculum and the mandated minimum instruction time. The timeline for the professional development of teachers with the prioritisation of science in the first part of 2010 enables all schools to implement the minimum teaching time for science of 120 minutes for years 3 to 7 students from February 2011.

More than 5000 primary teachers have attended workshops so far, with more teachers scheduled to attend between July and December 2010. Funds have been provided to schools for each teacher to attend up to three days of professional learning across 2010 to 2013.

Professional development in Maths for All has occurred for teachers facilitators from June 2010. From January 2011, teachers will be able to access professional development in Maths for All supported by learning community/cluster facilitators with a focus on mathematics.

Overall it is anticipated that between 6900 and 7500 teachers will access Primary Connections training from 2010 to 2013 accessing, on average, a total of six days each.

Science and Mathematics

11 mathematics and science teaching graduates were recruited to DECS through the Country Teaching and New Beginnings Scholarship Schemes and commenced teaching in 2009-2010;

35 Country Practicum Scholarships were awarded to mathematics and science teacher education students in 2009-10;

Nine teacher leaders with responsibility for mathematics and/or science are now employed in country DECS schools through the C (Career) Change program. The C Change teacher leaders have responsibility for mentoring new maths and science teachers, pre-service teachers who are interested in maths and science, as well as facilitating professional development for maths and science teachers and providing curriculum leadership; and

Nine maths and science country teaching scholarship graduates commenced permanent employment in DECS country schools.

Collaboration between DECS and the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resource Management Board has resulted in the joint initiative South Australian Youth Environment Council (YEC). Students from Unley, Gawler, Murray Bridge, Charles Campbell and Christies Beach high schools promote sustainability in their school and local community, plan and take action to address environmental issues.

The Premier’s ANZAC Spirit School Prize, a cross-agency collaboratively undertaken annual project, highlights the values of Australia as a democratic nation and promotes the teaching of history in years 9 and 10. The competition was conducted in over 50 secondary schools across South Australia in 2009 and was supported by a variety of learning resources and professional learning activities.

School to Work Strategy

Learning and Work

Trade Schools for the Future are established across all the education regions of South Australia. Trade Schools for the Future provide the opportunity for young people to embark on a school based apprenticeship or traineeship and also complete their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). There are 20 apprenticeship brokers in the education regions to support young people in gaining a school based apprenticeship or traineeship. Since 2008, there have been over 1983 school based apprenticeship or traineeship commencements.

The Industry Skills Program which commenced at the end of 2009 is aimed at developing vocational education and training (VET) Industry Pathway programs in every state school with a significant secondary enrolment. The Industry Pathway programs help young people gain their SACE and begin the acquisition of industry recognised qualifications which will then lead to further higher qualifications and/or stronger employment prospects when they leave school. Since the end of 2009, 26 schools have begun an Industry Pathway program.

The Trade Training Centres in Schools Commonwealth Government initiative provides schools with the opportunity to upgrade, re-equip or refurbish their learning areas to support training in trade related areas. The initiative is coordinated with the Trade Schools for the Future and the Industry Skills Program so that young people have a robust and supportive learning environment, with the appropriate vocational curriculum and can begin their pathway to further training and employment while completing their SACE. Since the program began, state government schools have had 26 successful applications to the Commonwealth Government for upgrades and refurbishment.

The Youth Compact strategy, as part of the National Partnership for Youth Attainment and Transitions, began in 2010. The Youth Compact allows young people to choose training as an option over education in a normal school setting. This option is funded by the Government of South Australia. Since the beginning of 2010, 633 young people have elected to use the Youth Compact opportunity.

The Advanced Technology program began at the end of 2009 through the successful bid by DECS for Commonwealth Defence Material Organisation funding to improve the number of young people taking up opportunities in defence related industries. The essential aim of the program is to increase the numbers of young people engaging with science, maths and technology that lead to pathways in defence related industries. Three lead schools have been established which each have five cluster schools to implement the program.

Innovative Community Action Networks (ICAN)

ICANs are currently established in the northern, southern and north-western metropolitan areas and the Upper Spencer area of South Australia. In Term 4 2009, ICANs were expanded to four new areas (Yorke Peninsula, Riverland, Murray and Mallee and Southern Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island). All ICANs began offering case management and personalised learning support for identified upper primary students and families.

Each ICAN has a local ICAN community management committee, a program manager and an amount of grant funding to develop innovative and flexible local learning and engagement programs. The DECS Flexible Learning Option (FLO) enrolment strategy funds the provision of case management and customised learning programs to students in community based settings. FLO-enrolled students are enrolled through a DECS ICAN school and are supported through a personalised learning plan.

During 2009, 37 ICAN secondary schools used the FLO enrolment strategy. Since Term 1 2007, there have been a total of 3025 FLO-enrolled students. In 2009, 1882 individuals were FLO-enrolled in ICAN schools (an average of 470 students per term). FLO-enrolled students participated in the following learning activities; approximately:

62 per cent SACE;

16 per cent SACSA (South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability);

10 per cent Certificate 1–3 VET and accredited modules; and

11 per cent were young people with significant social/emotional/mental health issues. These students were supported by intensive case management and needs assessment, plus therapeutic services and a strength based learning support plan.

Mentoring Strategies

The aim of the Mentoring Strategies program is to support the individual needs of students in years 10 to 12 to remain at school and reach their full potential. Central to this support is encouraging senior secondary students to connect with school and community, and engage with a range of learning experiences that lead to SACE completion, training, employment and/or further study. Through participation in the program in 2009, 1292 students in years 10 to 12 received mentoring support from teachers in 54 secondary schools. Of these students, 187 were in Year 10; 334 were in Year 11; and 771 were in Year 12.

The support provided ranged from subject learning and achievement to developing student’s literacy and numeracy, employability skills and communication skills, confidence building techniques, problem solving, goal setting and career development. The high retention of students in the program, particularly Year 12 students, has contributed to the increase in the years 10 to 12 apparent retention rate for 2009.

continued

9.19



In late 2009, preparatory work commenced to strengthen student mentoring with the planned and staged roll out of mentoring and youth development support for students in years 5 to 9 across 16 clusters of schools. Seven clusters of schools (up to 60 primary and secondary schools), became operational from the start of the 2010 school year, with a further nine clusters (up to 200 schools) to be rolled out from 2011-12.

Aboriginal Education & Employment Strategy

Both the number of Aboriginal students enrolled and retained in senior secondary years has continued to grow over the past 10 years with combined year 11 and 12 enrolments increasing from 301.6 in 1999 to 806.4 in 2009.

Care should be taken in the interpretation of apparent retention rates since a range of factors affecting the calculation have not been taken into account. These factors are more significant when calculating the rate at small area levels such as distinct groups (for example Aboriginal retention rates). National reporting is moving away from apparent retention rates as the only measure of participation, with new measures included in the ABS Schools Australia publication (Cat 4221.0).

2010-11 Budget

2009-10 Estimated


2008-09 Actual



Occasional Care

Through the occasional care program, child care sessions are provided in preschools located in communities where there are limited or no other child care services within easy access for parents. Occasional care is a centre based form of child care that is responsive to the needs of the general community and provides flexible care which allows parents to meet their work related and non-work related commitments. Families can access occasional care regularly or irregularly on a sessional basis. Generally care is available once per week for children who have not started school.

The service is provided by staff who are managed by the DECS preschool leader in a supported early childhood learning environment. In 2009-10 new services were established in Point Pearce and Holden Hill.

As at the end of June 2010, funded occasional care was offered at 86 sites across South Australia with the capacity to cater for over 3600 children each week.

The target number of services for 2010-11 is less than the expected result for 2009-10 due the cessation of Commonwealth Government funding to the program with effect from 1 July 2010. DECS will continue to maximise service provision and families’ access to services where there is demonstrated high need for care across the state within the existing budget allocation.

Rural Care

The rural care program provides long day care for up to four non-school age children and three school aged children at any one time in rural and remote locations. The programs operate from and are sponsored by local DECS preschool sites. During 2009-10, programs were run in 12 rural locations including Bute, Booleroo, Cleve, Cummins, Lucindale, Mannum, Maitland, Melrose, Peterborough, Tumby Bay, Kingston and Yorketown. Andamooka also offers rural care funded through sustainability assistance provided by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. These programs provided care for a total of over 282 children from over 209 families.

Family Day Care

The number of family day care operators is market driven as these are private providers of family day care (FDC) under the 12 Schemes operated by DECS throughout the state. In 2009-10, with support from DECS, 90 FDC care providers achieved the Certificate III in Children’s Services. A further 88 care providers are currently completing this qualification. The DECS FDC schemes continue to recruit and support the provision of quality home based childcare. From the start of 2012 these services will operate under a National Quality Framework and will be required to meet new quality standards through nationally applied laws. DECS FDC recruitment strategies continue to work toward achieving the target number of FDC services (care providers) in 2010-11, particularly in South Australia’s small rural communities where no other forms for formal childcare are viable.

In Venue Family Day Care

In venue FDC continues to offer child care within existing preschools in rural and remote locations, and is currently operating at Lock and Gladstone. The service at Laura did not reopen in 2009. A new service has been approved for Marion Bay on the Southern Yorke Peninsula and will be established in the second half of 2010.

Out of School Hours Care

Before school, after school and vacation care are all demand driven utilisation. This year the number of out of school hours care (OSHC) places and vacation care places have been counted separately. There has been some growth in the number of places available to families, for example vacation care places increased by 370 places. As at May 2010, there were 22 471 OSHC (before and after school care) places and 13 206 vacation care places. These places give children access to care before and after school and during holiday periods.

Despite a small estimated decrease in the number of OSHC services across the state it is anticipated that there will be increased growth in the number of approved child care benefit places made available within existing operators. As OSHC is predominantly used for work related care the economic trends nationally may have impacted on utilisation in 2009-10.

Children’s Centres

At 30 June 2010, 13 children’s centres had been constructed in Angle Park (The Parks), Enfield (Café Enfield), Elizabeth Grove, Hackham West, Renmark, Taperoo (Ocean View), Wynn Vale (Keithcot Farm), Port Augusta, Elizabeth (Kaurna Plains), Paradise (il nido), Woodcroft Heights, Mount Gambier, and Cowandilla.

There are 10 children’s centres under construction — Plympton South (Forbes); Murray Bridge; O’Sullivan Beach; Kirton Point; Parafield Gardens; Trinity Gardens; Smithfield Plains (John Hartley School B-7); Munno Para West (Mark Oliphant College B-12); Blair Athol (Inner North); and Woodville Gardens (Inner West).

The Gawler Children’s Centre is part of the major Education Works project involving Gawler High School, Evanston Primary School and Evanston Preschool.

Children’s centres are staffed by multidisciplinary teams including teachers, child care workers, community development coordinators, allied health workers and family services coordinators.

Community development coordinators are progressively being appointed to assist in establishing connections between various partners at each children’s centre. As at 30 June 2010, 17 community development coordinators had been appointed with an additional three being recruited.

Family services coordinators are also being employed in children’s centres where there are high numbers of vulnerable children and families. There were 14 family services coordinators providing support to families as at 30 June 2010. Three more family services coordinators are being recruited.

Footnotes

(a) Data on the number of services and number of places for 2009-10 Estimated Result is as at June 2009. Children’s centres data is as at June 2010.

(b) All figures for child care centres include integrated preschools/childcare centres and other child care centres.

(c) Occasional care services include programs administered and funded by DECS.

(d) Out of school hours care (OSHC) totals include only before school and after school care services. As previously published the 2009-10 Target for OSHC places includes vacation care places.

(e) Vacation care is a sub-set of the OSHC figures provided in (d) for the 2009-10 Target only. Vacation care is recorded separately for all other years.

(f) Figures for baby sitting agencies are extracted from the DECS Location Sites and Services database.

(g) The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects actual rounded figures reported on DECS Annual Census of Children’s Services, 2009.

(h) The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects actual rounded figures reported on DECS Annual Census of Children’s Services, 2009. OSHC and vacation care are not combined to avoid over counting across specific groups as many children will attend both service types. Numbers are estimates based on extrapolating data to give a figure as if 100 per cent of centres provided returns. Care should be taken in the interpretation of the data as they are estimates only, not actual. Centres responding to the census differ each year, also affecting the accuracy of the estimated data.

(i) Includes children with main language other than English at home.

(j) The reduction in the number of children with disabilities attending family day care is a result of the removal of the Commonwealth Government’s Inclusion Support Subsidy for children who were using non-work related child care.

(k) Includes children in services in all areas outside the Adelaide Statistical Division.

(l) Services and places provided at Children’s Centres are accounted for under service type: Child Care Centres.

Preschool Enrolments

The estimated result for preschool enrolments for 2009-10, is 17 560 children. This included:

1130 children age 3;

15 550 children age 4; and

880 children age 5.

Preschool Bilingual Program

During 2009-10, the Preschool Bilingual Program has continued to facilitate access and participation in preschools for children and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In Term 1 of 2009 to Term 2 of 2010, there have been 1085 children requiring bilingual support, of which 907 children received support in 40 community languages through 125 of the program’s bilingual early childhood workers in 160 centres across the state.

Learning Together

During 2009-10 learning has continued to provide families with young children (birth to 3 years) a range of early learning support programs. In 2010 the program has been expanded under the National Partnership for Communities making a Difference. As at June 2010, 640 families were currently enrolled, across seven base sites and 10 outreach sites. Of these families 97 were from Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander backgrounds (approx 15 per cent). Smaller programs have also commenced at the pilot rural children’s centres at Andamooka and Point Pearce. The program has maintained and extended close involvement with other services such as Child Youth Health, Families SA, Community Health Services and non-government agencies.

Sub-program 3.2: Preschool Services continued

Footnotes

(a) Services provided under this sub-program are demand driven.

(b) An enrolment represents a child being registered with a preschool. An attendance represents a child attending a session for which they are enrolled. Number of children figures are based on eligible enrolments and attendances as at Term 2 each year and include only government-funded preschools (includes grant–funded centres and funded Catholic education preschools). The difference between the number of enrolments and attendances is due to the non-compulsory nature of preschool. Figures exclude children in play centres and children attending preschool centres for other services. The 2009-10 Estimated Result reflects actual rounded data based on the results of DECS Preschool Staffing Data Collection Term 2 2009. The 2010-11 Targets are based on population estimates provided by the ABS.

(c) Participation figures for specific groups are available for enrolments only and include children enrolled in preschool services during a survey reference week.

(d) Includes children with main language other than English at home.

(e) The children with disabilities figure is estimated and includes students identified as having special needs.

(f) Includes children in preschools in all areas outside the Adelaide Statistical Division.

(g) Derived from the total sub-program cost divided by the number of enrolments.

The following commentary relates to variations between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and the 2010-11 Budget.


Expenditure

The increase in expenditure of $112.3 million is primarily due to:

increased salaries and wages expenditure of $48.9 million, which includes annual wage indexation as reflected in previously approved enterprise bargaining agreements;

provision for stage 2 teacher’s enterprise bargaining decision from the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia ($37.6 million). This includes funding for non-instruction time increases, additional special class school support officer support and ICT support commitment;

increased expenditure associated with commencement of the government’s election commitments:

– establishment of 10 new children’s centres ($1.8 million);

– specialist maths and science teachers ($1.3 million); and

– establishing of better behaviour centres ($0.6 million).

increased expenditure associated with the Commonwealth Government’s National Partnerships for Low Socio-economic Status School Communities, Early Childhood Reform, Improving Teacher Quality, Literacy and Numeracy and Digital Education Revolution ($49.0 million); and

operating expenditure associated with the establishment of the new schools as per Education Works — Stage 1 public private partnership arrangement ($15.5 million).

The increased expenditure is partially offset by:

growth in savings measures ($12.7 million);

Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan funding from the Commonwealth ($22.6 million);

decrease in Commonwealth revenue for trade training centres ($2.3 million); and

once-off expenditure in 2009-10 associated with delayed payments from 2008-09 for:

– New Maths and Science Strategy ($3.8 million); and

– Supporting Improved Literacy Achievement in SA Schools program ($1.6 million).

Revenue

The decrease in total income of $186.8 million is primarily due to funding for the Commonwealth Government’s Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan ($209.2 million).

9.35

This is partially offset by additional revenue from Commonwealth Government’s National Partnerships for Low Socio-economic Status School Communities, Early Childhood Reform, Improving Teacher Quality, Literacy and Numeracy and Digital Education Revolution ($24.7 million).


The increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in land and improvements as a result of the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan ($433.9 million) and the recognition of an asset for the finance lease associated with the establishment of the new schools as per Education Works Stage 1 public private partnerships (PPP) arrangement ($177.6 million).

The change in total liabilities is due mainly to the recognition of a liability for the finance lease for Education Works — Stage 1 (PPP) schools ($177.6 million).


The movement in cash payments and receipts are consistent with the changes discussed under the statement of comprehensive income — controlled and statement of financial position — controlled.


The decrease in total expenses and total income is primarily due to payments associated with the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan, the Digital Education Revolution, and Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership program.

Note: The sum of the net expenditure amounts for the Department for Families and Communities and the South Australian Housing Trust exceeds the values of net expenditure amounts consolidated for the Families and Communities portfolio statement. The variance results from intra-agency transactions. All state government receipts are received by the Department for Families and Communities agency and then transferred to the South Australian Housing Trust. To reflect the true net cost to the Government of South Australia for the services provided by the portfolio, the component of intra-agency receipts reflecting state government appropriation has been excluded as reflected in the portfolio total stated above. The main factor contributing to the increase in the portfolio net cost of services between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and the 2010-11 Budget is a reduction in Commonwealth funding for several National Partnerships, including the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY — MAJOR VARIATIONS


The Families and Communities portfolio is comprised of two separate entities, as listed below with transactions occurring between each of the entities:

Department for Families and Communities (DFC); and

South Australian Housing Trust (SAHT).

The total expenses of the portfolio are forecast to increase by $160.8 million compared with the 2009-10 Estimated Result. This is mainly due to additional expenditure associated with property transfers to the Community Housing Sector under the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan, as well as increases in land tax expense on property holdings and additional spending in programs to support disabled and elderly South Australians and children in alternative care. These increases are partially offset by a reduction in expenditure due to the provision of funding in 2009-10 under agreements such as the Remote Indigenous Housing and Social Housing National Partnerships.

The total income of the portfolio is expected to decrease by $310.7 million when compared to the 2009-10 Estimated Result. This is mainly due to the reduction in Commonwealth funding for several National Partnerships which provided funding in 2009-10 to the portfolio, including the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan ($100.9 million in 2010-11 compared to $299.2 million in 2009-10) and Remote Indigenous Housing ($20.3 million in 2010-11 compared to $97.9 million in 2009-10).

There is a large deterioration in the net result of the 2010-11 Budget compared to the 2009-10 Estimated Result ($390.1 million), mainly due to the reduced income and increased expenditure for the portfolio as outlined above.

Families SA is currently unable to provide consolidated statistics on the number of notifications of child abuse and neglect. The Connected Client Case Management System has been phased in across Families SA offices, while the long standing Client Information System is being phased out. As the data is currently residing in two systems, it is not possible to provide accurate total notification statistics for 2009-10. The data will be available in 2010-11.

Data is available for Families SA Anti-Poverty Services. The number of emergency financial assistance payments made is at a similar level as the 2008-09 actual while there has been a significant increase (12 per cent) in the number of financial support services provided. This is consistent with the policy direction of assisting families and individuals to more effective and sustainable financial management.

The increase in the number of children under the Guardianship of the Minister until 18 years of age is reflective of the increased complexity of child and family situations. The number of children on 12 month orders has remained at the same level over the past 12 months, indicating that for some children the most appropriate means of ensuring their safety and stability is their placement on a long-term order. There has been an 11 per cent increase in the number of children under the Guardianship of the Minister until 18 years of age as at 30 June 2010.

There has been a corresponding increase in the number of children in an alternative care placement, with the estimated rate of increase this financial year (8.5 per cent) being very similar to the rate of increase in the previous financial year (9.4 per cent).

2008-09Actual



The first full year of the National Disability Agreement (which came into effect on 1 January 2009) saw South Australia contribute to national projects in relation to the ten priority reform areas of the agreement. This included the delivery of a national disability quality framework. To this end, Disability SA led a range of consultation processes on the National Disability Service Standards. South Australia participated in the national ageing and disability reform agenda and the development of the National Disability Strategy.

Phase 1 of the self-managed funding project commenced with clients of Disability SA registering interest for participation in the initiative. This will provide a total of 50 people the opportunity of transferring their current disability support services into a self-managed funding arrangement.

Disability SA moved to three-year funding agreements for non-government disability service providers, which will provide greater funding certainty and allow more focus to be given to monitoring performance. New three-year funding agreements with 89 organisations came into effect on 1 July 2010.

The Companion Card was transferred to DFC Concessions and Anti-Poverty Services in May 2010 to ensure a mainstream focus on access to entitlements for people with disability and to streamline administration.

Reform measures to improve viability and enhance quality and standards continued in conjunction with the Supported Residential Facilities (SRF) sector. A single entry point for referred clients, operated by Disability Services, was implemented and ensures that people unsuited to SRF accommodation are not placed in the sector without adequate case management. Significant quality improvements occurred in relation to staffing qualifications, food and nutrition guidelines, medication credentialing and diabetes training. Improvements in the physical amenity of facilities have occurred in response to the supplementary payment to providers introduced in the previous year.

All SRFs have been provided with computers and a reimbursement for software, creating an electronic network to provide more efficient connections with DFC and other referring agencies.

Priorities for 2010-11 include:

determining the next phases of self-managed funding based on an independent evaluation and participants’ experience of the first phase, as well as the recommendations of the consultative committee of key stakeholders;

reviewing the Promoting Independence strategy in the context of the forthcoming National Disability Strategy and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. This review will align with the Social Inclusion Blueprint for disability;

reviewing the Disability Services Act 1993 to ensure that South Australian legislation enables a contemporary approach to supporting people with disability;

the Ageing and Disability Service Improvement Project, which aims to develop a statewide community service support system that is easy to access and move through, regardless of age or location. A new Ageing, Disability and Carers Division will be formed, incorporating four functional areas of intake and assessment, policy and planning, funds management and service delivery. This also enables the state government to position itself in response to the Council of Australian Governments Health and Ageing reforms that will see the Commonwealth take full policy and funding responsibility for people over 65 years and the state take full responsibility for younger people with a disability under 65 years;

determining service arrangements with the Department of Health and Autism SA for the implementation of an additional $1 million per annum of assessment and early intervention services for children with autism disorders; and

assisting the Social Inclusion Unit in preparations for its blueprint of reform in the sector.

Responsible for providing services across the state, including supported accommodation, service coordination for adults and children, families and carers and specialist services including allied health, therapy and community nursing. Supported accommodation services cover lifestyle and community support, centre-based accommodation, in-home support, developmental activities and supporting people with disabilities currently living in institutional or congregate settings to return to the community. Service coordination provides services for people with disability and their families through regional offices. Services are aimed at enhancing the development of people with a disability and to support their participation in family and community life.

Allied health specialist services including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology and dietetics. These are provided to maximise functional independence in daily living for adults with disability. The provision of equipment, aids and assistive technology is supported through assessment and prescription services for adults with disability as well as advice and information for the general public.

Services for children include the early childhood program, school age and youth program and child and youth specialist services. The early childhood program involves the provision of therapy aimed at assisting children to reach their developmental potential. The school age and youth program provides a range of support and intervention services to promote development and community inclusion. Child and youth specialist services provide intensive support to families and foster carers experiencing significant stress and at risk of family breakdown.

During 2009-10, the Service Coordination Review was signed off and implementation of the recommendations commenced. This consisted of:

development of a model of service for adults, children and youth;

Disability SA newsletter — Info Link;

increased training for service coordination staff;

development of a program manager position for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders services;

centralisation of emergency respite and homelessness response;

development of a central process for allocating Community Support Program packages;

development of central process for allocating funded respite vacancies; and

streamlining of business practices in relation to contract management.

Approximately 32 people with a disability moved from institutions to supported community accommodation or more appropriate accommodation during this period. This includes people moving from Strathmont Centre and younger people moving out of residential aged care.

In November 2009, new funding totalling $31.3 million over four years was provided to Disability SA to assist families in crisis. Funding of $5.4 million in 2009-10 was used for supported accommodation, personal support, respite and therapy. Part of this funding for community services during the year focused on the provision of behavioural interventions for children and families who were at risk. Disability Services provides accommodation services for a small number of children who are unable to live at home but do not come under the Families SA system because there are no care and protection issues. Further development of service models is being undertaken.

Approximately 72 people with critical needs were assisted by the Accommodation Placement Panel into appropriate disability-specific supported accommodation options in the community, including 29 supported at home. This total does not include placement into residential aged care facilities.

A project to integrate the provision of equipment to children with disabilities into the DFC Equipment Program has been undertaken between Disability SA, Domiciliary Care SA and Novita Children’s Services. Consistent policy and procedures for access to be rolled out by September 2010 and are expected to deliver a more efficient and effective service for children with disabilities who require equipment or home modifications. Additional once-off funding of $7.8 million was applied to those adults and children waiting for equipment, and further funding of $9.8 million over four years has been provided to boost capacity for both adult and children’s equipment provision.

In December 2009, Minister Rankine launched the Person Centred Active Support model. This supports people living with disability to be actively involved and participating in their own life, driven by the principles of choice, decision making, engagement, empowerment, inclusion and citizenship. In 2009-10 the program was introduced into 15 accommodation services and this will be further expanded into 20 accommodation services during 2010-11.

(a) Currently all clients within the service coordination system are counted under case management. Disability Services will be implementing modified models of service in community teams. The models aim to streamline the provision of service and response. Within these services, some clients/families will not require case management but will require access to good, timely information. This group of clients/families will not be recorded under case management but will be identified under an ‘information’ category and as a consequence there is a decrease in the 2010-11 Target. If clients/families do require an intervention, then this will be recorded for the period of time the intervention takes place.

(b) Results now exclude the Payneham Respite program, which is, in effect, a day options program.

(c) The figures have increased due to more accurate data collection. They include information and advisory services provided by the Independent Living Centre, the Continence Resource Centre, the Disability SA Information and Referral Service telephone line and associated enquiries via email and the web site.

(d) The 2010-11 repairs and maintenance requests target reduced from the previous year’s estimated result due to a more proactive maintenance schedule as well as closer monitoring of the work allocated to sub-contractors.

Sub-program 4.1: Office for the Ageing

Support and promote the development of policies and strategies that create improved opportunities for the individual activity and community participation of older people in South Australia through the Improving with Age: Our Ageing Plan for South Australia. The office administers a number of programs including the Home and Community Care (HACC) program, the Aged Care Assessment Program (ACAP), the South Australian Seniors Card Program, the Retirement Villages Act 1987, Positive Ageing Development Grants, Grants for Seniors, Ethnic Aged Care Grants and Peak Bodies Grants. The office also manages funding and initiatives associated with Improving with Age: Our Ageing Plan for South Australia and community care innovation.

The HACC program is a joint Commonwealth–state initiative which funds the provision of basic maintenance and support services for frail older people, younger people with disabilities and their carers. The Government of South Australia provides a matching contribution of 38 per cent of HACC program funding, with the Commonwealth providing the remaining 62 per cent contribution. HACC services are provided by approximately 150 agencies in South Australia(a).

In 2009-10, total funding for the HACC program grew to $162.2 million recurrent, an increase of 7.7 per cent from 2008-09. Whilst national HACC Minimum Data Set data is not yet available for 2009-10, it is estimated that a total of 92 800 South Australians have received support.

New funding from 2010-11 will support the implementation of the government’s strategy Active Ageing: Supporting Independence and Choice policy document. This includes:

ensuring greater access to personal alert systems for seniors who live alone;

providing older South Australians who live alone with more support through a new home visiting scheme;

supporting the planning for retirement and other key transitions by providing more and better information to seniors;

helping older South Australians with mobility concerns in regional areas to get out and about with an improvement and expansion of Community Passenger Networks; and

providing more flexible working arrangements to encourage greater choices for older South Australians in employment.

There has been a decrease in 2009-10 in the reported total hours of HACC services provided by HACC funded agencies and the number of people receiving HACC services. This is associated with the shift in the data collection methodology to ensure better alignment with the methodology adopted by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. This shift also impacts on the 2010-11 targets. The decrease can also be attributed to improvements in data reporting by HACC funded agencies which has corrected over-reporting in previous years. As a result, HACC targets for 2009-10 (derived from full year HACC data from 2002-03 to 2008-09) are not expected to be achieved.

All agencies which deliver HACC services to clients are appraised every three years. The table below indicates the 2009-10 Target was exceeded.

ACAP is funded by the Commonwealth, but day-to-day operation and administration of the program is a state government responsibility. The program’s objective is to comprehensively assess the needs of frail older people and facilitate access to available care services appropriate to their care needs. In 2009-10, the total funding for the ACAP program was $6.8 million, an increase of 2.6 per cent from 2008-09.

The Seniors Card Program recognises and values the contribution seniors have made and continue to make to the community of South Australia. There are more than 301 000 cardholders on the South Australian Seniors Card database. This is projected to increase to approximately 310 000 by 2010-11.

(a) The total hours of HACC service and number of people receiving HACC services is inclusive of HACC services provided by the Department of Health, Domiciliary Care SA and Disability SA.

(b) The state has adopted the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing’s methodology for counting clients. Previously where both the carer and care recipient receive a service the state counted this as two clients, it is now counted as one client. This resulted in a reduced client count.

(c) Number of ACAT assessments reduced due to changes in Commonwealth legislation which reduced number of assessments required. In addition, improved screening of referrals at intake reduced inappropriate referrals.

(d) All agencies that deliver HACC services to clients are appraised against the National Service Standards within a three-year cycle. As the size and complexity of each appraisal differs, the actual number of appraisals undertaken each year fluctuates.

Sub-program 4.2: Domiciliary Care SA

Provision of community care services primarily to frail older people with reduced ability to care for themselves, assisting them to stay living in their homes. The service includes physical assistance, rehabilitation and social support for those in need as well as respite and support for their caregivers. The services provided include personal care, domestic assistance, respite care, falls prevention and intervention, case management/service coordination, specialist dementia support and therapy services, rehabilitation, palliative care, allied health assessment and therapy. Domiciliary Care SA (DCSA) operates the Domiciliary Equipment Service which provides equipment and coordinates home modifications for clients of Disability SA and DCSA. The Adelaide Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) also operates from DCSA. DCSA is currently the demonstration site for the Commonwealth Government’s access point project for aged and community care.

In 2009-10, the total hours of direct service exceeded target activity levels. This was consistent with 2008-09 activity levels. The increase in the average amount of service received per client was the key activity driver, and relates to increasing needs and complexity of Domiciliary Care SA clients over time. Measures were introduced in November 2009 to streamline intake. Only Priority 1 referrals were accepted and additional services to existing clients were capped.

ACAT performance outputs decline is attributed to a redirection of assessment resources from frontline assessment to intake, with the aim of reducing the number of referrals to ACAT, accurately assigning priority, and reducing unnecessary waiting lists. This change in business practice was in response to the proposed National Partnership Agreement key performance indicators.

During 2009-10, the Volunteers Unit prepared for the Volunteer Emergency Recovery Information System (VERIS) to be activated for disaster recovery as needed. It also investigated the possible utilisation of VERIS in other jurisdictions through a national committee set up to improve the management of spontaneous volunteers. The DFC Awards Ceremony for volunteers was held in December 2009 at Ayres House. Additional work on improving the efficiency of volunteer management has commenced with the formation of the Volunteer Profile Steering Committee which will progress issues in 2010-11.

In 2009-10, the Strategic Policy and Intervention APY Lands Community Programs team (previously known as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services) were responsible for the provision of disability support programs in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Services included day activities, support for people with a disability and their families, intensive support for people with complex needs and a carer service for an individual with high needs. During the period, disability clients have had increased opportunities to attend local community events, increased participation in community activities including arts and crafts, and gained access to community support programs. APY Lands Community Programs also deliver Home and Community Care services in the major communities on the APY Lands which provide a range of services including a daily meal, blanket washing and local transport. Disability SA delivers a visiting allied health and equipment service to people with a disability living on the APY Lands.

Eligibility for sewerage remissions was expanded from 1 July 2009 to include holders of Centrelink Low Income Health Care Cards. This initiative, combined with the introduction of a Residential Parks Concessions Scheme and free seniors travel from 1 July 2009, led to an overall increase in the number of concessions provided. Further increases in the number and cost of concessions are anticipated over the 2010-11 financial year due to increases in the concession rates for energy, water, sewerage and emergency services levy (fixed property) and Centrelink Low Income Health Care Card holders becoming eligible for energy and emergency services levy (fixed property) concessions from 1 July 2010.

In September 2009, Cabinet approved the replacement of the Magill Youth Training Centre (YTC) with a new 60-bed purpose-built facility to be constructed at Goldsborough Road, Cavan at an estimated cost of $67.2 million. Facility design and documentation has commenced.

The Government also approved funding of $1.3 million over three years for the sustainment of the Magill YTC. A program of building works to ensure a better quality of life for residents and to resolve safety issues at the centre was approved.

As the existing YTC at Jonal Drive, Cavan will be retained, funding of $3 million over two years was allocated for the upgrade of the facility. The upgrade focuses on improving the quality of life of residents, bringing the centre into compliance with national and international standards for youth detention and extending the life of the facility. Recurrent funds of $0.5 million to extend the life of the facility have also been allocated commencing from 2011-12.

The relocation of residents from the Strathmont Centre into the community under the Strathmont Centre Redevelopment and Community Living Project (Stage 1) has continued and is scheduled for completion in October 2010. Sustainment works for the remaining villas has continued.

An upgrade of the Riverside Centre commenced in October 2008 on the basis of a $6.5 million investment by the building owner. The upgrade consists of fit-out refurbishment, data re-cabling and improvements to accessibility, as well as improvements to lifts, air-conditioning, and other mechanics. The upgrade has permitted some central business district DFC tenancies to be terminated and staff relocated into Riverside Centre.

Two additional 12-bed community residential care facilities have been built at Queenstown and Noarlunga, within the Cabinet approved budget. The Queenstown Community Residential Care facility was handed over in April 2010, and the Noarlunga Community Residential Care facility is due for completion in September 2010.

The new Mount Gambier Connected Service Centre fit-out was completed in November 2009 and occupied in December 2009. The building is 5-Star Green Star rated.

The department will continue with the programs that it has set up to achieve energy efficiency throughout DFC in 2010-11, as well as identifying new energy efficiency innovations that will be helpful to achieving or exceeding the South Australia’s Strategic Plan target of 25 per cent.

Greening programs have now been established in regional offices within Families SA, Housing SA, Disability SA, Domiciliary Care SA, and Corporate Services. This provides savings in energy efficiency, water consumption, waste management, paper usage, travel and fleet management and green procurement.

10.43




Factors contributing to the decrease in total expenses between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget include:

$198.3 million of payments in 2009-10 to Housing SA for social housing as part of the Commonwealth’s Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan;

$77.6 million of payments in 2009-10 to Housing SA for social housing as part of the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing;

$15.0 million reduction in expenditure due to the cessation of the National Partnership Agreement on Social Housing in 2009-10;

$9.5 million of payments in 2009-10 to Housing SA relating to once-off funding received from the Commonwealth Housing Affordability Fund; and

$7.1 million reduction in expenditure due to once-off payments for targeted voluntary separation packages in 2009-10.

This is partially offset by:

$17.4 million in additional reimbursement to Housing SA for their anticipated increase in land tax expense;

$11.4 million in additional expenditure on top of the $25.2 million provided for 2009-10 to build capacity in the alternative care system;

$10.5 million in additional expenditure on top of the $15.0 million provided for 2009-10 to provide ongoing services to disabled clients;

$2.4 million in additional expenditure to better keep pace with future demand for disability equipment. This expenditure is in addition to the $7.8 million funding over two years that was announced during the 2009-10 State Election;

$1.1 million in additional expenditure for ageing programs as announced during the 2009-10 State Election including funding for the Personal Alert Systems Rebate Scheme ($0.3 million), Flexible Working Arrangements for Older South Australians ($0.3 million) and Seniors Wise SA — Home Visits ($0.4 million); and

the impact of inflation adjustments, provision adjustments, deferred expenditure and prior year budget decisions.

The decrease in total income between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and the 2010-11 Budget is primarily due to the once-off Commonwealth funding received in 2009-10 for the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan ($198.3 million) and the National Partnership agreements on Social Housing and Remote Indigenous Housing ($92.6 million). Other once-off Commonwealth receipts in 2009-10 included funding for the Housing Affordability Fund, for clients with exceptional needs and for homelessness projects.

10.44

This has been partially offset by additional funding for expenditure parameter adjustments, indexation on budgeted receipts and the impact of prior year decisions.


The variance in assets and liabilities primarily relate to projected movements in fixed assets due to the capital program and movements in employee benefit liabilities.

Statement of cash flow — controlled

The major variations in the cash flow statement are generally caused by the same factors that give rise to variations in the statement of comprehensive income but are also affected by movements in the statement of financial position. Other variations are attributable to the investing program and timing differences between the recognition of revenue and expenditure under accrual accounting conventions.


Factors contributing to the increase in total expenses between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and the 2010-11 Budget include:

$9.5 million in additional expenditure for the five per cent increase in the maximum concession entitlement on various concession payments including an increase to the energy concession from a maximum of $120 per annum to $150 per annum in 2010-11;

$3.4 million in additional expenditure for the expansion of eligibility to emergency services levy concessions to low income households;

$3.9 million in additional expenditure relating to providing free public transport for South Australian Seniors Card holders;

$1.1 million in additional expenditure for anticipated increase in volume and price for various concessions; and

$0.7 million in additional community obligation payments.

This is partly offset by $0.6 million of once-off carryover expenditure in 2009-10 relating to the Gambler’s Rehabilitation Fund.

The increase in total income between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and the 2010-11 Budget includes:

$22.5 million in additional funding for the various concessions including providing free transport to seniors; extending the eligibility for energy and emergency services levy concessions to low income households and increasing the maximum entitlements on the various concession payments.

This is partly offset by $4.6 million once-off recovery of GST revenue relating to energy in 2009-10.

Statement of cash flow — administered items

The major variations in the statement of cash flow are generally caused by the same factors that give rise to variations in the statement of comprehensive income but are also affected by movements in the statement of financial position. Other variations are attributable to the investing program and timing differences between the recognition of revenue and expenditure under accrual accounting conventions.

The following commentary relates to variations between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget.


The significant increase in total expenses of $105.8 million between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget is mainly due to:

additional property transfers to the community housing sector under the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan ($108.5 million);

increased land tax on property holdings ($17.4 million);

a revaluation loss for the Ladder Youth Accommodation Project ($7.2 million); and

increased depreciation expense ($3.8 million).

This increase is partially offset by:

reduced expenditure on grants and subsidies, including the Affordable Housing Innovations Fund ($18.8 million) and Indigenous Community Housing Program ($14.6 million).

The significant decrease in total income of $308.1 million between the 2009-10 Estimated Result and 2010-11 Budget is mainly due to:

a reduction in Commonwealth grant revenue for the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan and National Partnership agreements on Social Housing and Remote Indigenous Housing and Homelessness ($288.6 million);

a reduction in net gain from disposal of assets ($16.8 million); and

a reduction in interest revenues ($3.4 million).


The decrease in total assets for 2010-11 primarily relates to a reduction in cash holdings, which are expected to decrease by $133.2 million, mainly resulting from expenditure of funds previously received under National Partnership agreements.

This is partially offset by a net increase of $73.8 million in property and plant and equipment. This mainly relates to $374.5 million in acquisitions via the capital investment program and $212.8 million net revaluation increments, partially offset by $261.8 million in disposals by sale or demolition, $162.5 million transfers to the Community Housing sector, and $89.1 million depreciation and amortisation.

The reduction in total liabilities for 2010-11 mainly results from debt repayments.

10.59


The net decrease in investing payments for 2010-11 is attributable to variations in activity across a range of projects, the most significant being:

$26.4 million decrease for the Nation Building — Economic Stimulus Plan, reflecting the completion of the Social Housing Stage 1 and Social Housing Upgrades elements of the program in 2009-10;

$23.2 million decrease in public housing construction and redevelopment, as a result of a redirection of resources to the repayment of debt; and

$12.1 million decrease in the Community Housing Capital Program, due to a reduction in program expenditure to a level that can be funded from the sale of community housing properties.

Partially offsetting these reductions are:

$22.7 million increase for the National Partnership on Remote Indigenous Housing, due to the continued acceleration of the program;

$16.2 million increase relating to new projects planned for commencement in 2010-11; and

$4.7 million net increase across a range of other projects.

The increase in investing receipts for 2010-11 is the result of an increase in the sales program in order to meet debt repayment targets.

The increase in financing payments for 2010-11 is due to the repayment of debt, in accordance with SAHT’s financial viability strategy.

Other major resource variations in the statement of cash flows arise principally from the same factors giving rise to variations in the statement of comprehensive income, as well as differences between the recognition of income and expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income under accrual accounting conventions, and the timing of cash based transactions.

Accounting standards

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The financial statements included in the Portfolio Statements 2010-11 are special purpose financial statements.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with:

Australian Accounting Standards, except where these notes indicate otherwise

Accounting policies expected to be used in preparing historically orientated general purpose financial statements for that year, and the same accounting policies have been used for the subsequent forecast years (forward estimates).

Reporting entities

The financial statements include all estimated assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of individual entities and portfolio agencies (administrative groupings of entities).

In the process of reporting on portfolios, intra-group transactions and balances are eliminated in full. This enables the financial statements of the portfolio agencies to be presented as that of an individual entity.

The commentary at the commencement of the financial statements for each portfolio identifies which entities have been included in the consolidated financial statements for that portfolio.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Activities that are ‘controlled’ are those where the agency delivers services and governs the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from these activities and assets in the pursuit of its objectives.

Generally, activities that are ‘administered’ on behalf of the government exist where an agency has no discretion to alter the resources provided or determine how they are spent.

Basis of accounting and measurement

The estimated financial statements include a statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of the estimated financial statements whereby assets, liabilities, equity, incomes and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Assets

Most government assets are valued at their written down current cost. Otherwise agencies adopt one of the following measurement bases:

Market/fair value — the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s length transaction (in many cases agencies use written down current cost as a proxy for fair value)

Net market value — the market value after deducting costs expected to be incurred were the asset to be exchanged

Current cost — the lowest cost at which the gross service potential of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of operations.

All non-current tangible assets, with a cost of acquisition greater than $1 million and a useful life of more than three years, are required to be valued at fair value unless excluded from the scope of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and/or an alternative valuation is specified by another accounting standard.

All intangible assets are measured at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

All non-current assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. The most common method used for calculating depreciation expense is the straight line method.

Certain heritage assets have very long and indeterminate useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period. As such, no amount for depreciation has been recognised in respect of those assets.

Assets acquired under finance leases are amortised over the period during which the government is expected to benefit from use of the leased asset.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits (including salaries and wages, annual leave, long-service leave, sick leave and superannuation benefits) reflect those benefits accrued as a result of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Short-term employee benefits (due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the employee rendered the services) are measured at a nominal amount based on the remuneration rates an agency expects to pay. Examples of short-term employee benefits include salaries and wages and annual leave.

Long-term employee benefits (not due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee rendered the service) are measured as the present value of estimated future cash flows. An example of a long-term employee benefit is long service leave.

Sick leave

For the majority of agencies, no liability will be recognised for sick leave.

There is no liability for non-vesting sick leave (a non-vesting entitlement is that which does not constitute a legal obligation of the employing agency until a valid claim is made by an employee or an event has occurred) if, on average, sick leave taken is less than total entitlements accruing.

Vesting sick leave entitlements are rare for state government employees.

Superannuation

For most state government controlled agencies, the Treasurer assumes the accrued superannuation liability in return for periodic payments from agencies. Therefore, unless there are contributions due but not yet paid at the reporting date, there is no superannuation liability recorded for the agency.

Two types of superannuation plans are in operation currently in the public sector: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. In a defined benefit plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to a formula based on years of membership and/or salary levels. In a defined contribution plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to accumulated contributions made to the plan together with investment earnings thereon.

Under existing arrangements, the Treasurer is liable for any net deficiency in assets for the defined benefits plans. Deficits in defined benefit superannuation plans are recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position for the Treasurer. The deficits are measured as the excess of employees’ accrued benefits resulting from services up to the reporting date over the net market value of the plan’s assets as at the reporting date.

Income recognition

Wherever possible, income is recognised when the transaction or event giving rise to the income occurs. As a result, all items of income are normally reported in the statement of comprehensive income when an agency obtains control over the respective amounts. In circumstances where it is not possible to determine objectively when control over the asset passes to the agency, the amounts are recognised upon receipt.

Appropriation

The investment program requirements for agencies included in the portfolio statements may be funded through operating appropriation, operating receipts, the proceeds of asset sales, grants and through Commonwealth payments. Where the investment requirements of an agency are not funded from these sources, the state government funding of an agency’s investment program will generally be treated as an equity contribution from the government, as representative owner. These contributions are treated as contributions to equity rather than income in an agency.

Funds appropriated, but not required to meet current year cash outflows will be deposited with the Treasurer and will show as an asset in the agency’s statement of financial position.

Cash alignment policy

Where agencies have returned excess cash held to the Treasurer in accordance with the cash alignment policy, the payment is generally recorded as a ‘payment to government’ in the statement of comprehensive income. Some agencies have elected to repay debt or return contributed capital with excess cash balances. These transactions will be reflected in the statement of financial position.

Rounding

All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Due to rounding, there may be instances where financial statements and tables do not add correctly.
