This Direction formally moves the money under powers in the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Amount:** $2,500,000\n- **From:** Australia Council (the national arts funding body)\n- **To:** Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts\n- **Source:** Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2001-2002 — specifically funding for Departmental Outputs under Outcome 1\n\n**Who it affects:** Primarily the two agencies involved. The transfer ensures DCITA has the necessary funds to perform functions that were previously the responsibility (or funded through) the Australia Council."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00896","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00896/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00896/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00896/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00896/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00896/documents"}}
