This document is the official paperwork that makes that transfer happen.\n\n**The details:**\n*   **Amount:** $4,500,000\n*   **From:** Department of Family and Community Services\n*   **To:** Department of Employment and Workplace Relations\n*   **Source:** The 2004-2005 budget (*Appropriation Act No. 1*)\n*   **Type of funding:** \"Departmental Outputs\" (meaning day-to-day running costs, not capital projects)\n*   **Effective date:** 30 June 2005\n\nThis ensures that the department now doing the work has the legal authority to spend the money allocated for it."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2005l01964","history":"/api/acts/f2005l01964/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2005l01964/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2005l01964/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2005l01964/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2005l01964/documents"}}
