When the Australian Government shifts responsibilities from one agency to another (often called a 'machinery of government' change), the budget needs to move too. This direction transfers approximately **$9.55 million** from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to the Department of Family and Community Services.\n\nThe transfer covers two types of funding:\n*   **$1.88 million** for *Departmental Outputs* — the day-to-day running costs of staff and operations\n*   **$7.67 million** for *Administered Expenses* — money distributed to others through programs and grants\n\nThe direction ensures that the department now responsible for certain functions has the Parliamentary funding (appropriations) to pay for them."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006b11668","history":"/api/acts/f2006b11668/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006b11668/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006b11668/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006b11668/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006b11668/documents"}}
