The Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury has determined that **Western Australia will receive approximately $112 million** and the **Australian Capital Territory will receive approximately $3.5 million** in general purpose financial assistance from the Commonwealth. These are unconditional grants — meaning the states can spend the money however they see fit, unlike tied grants that must be used for specific purposes. The payment is the seventh such payment for the 2022-23 financial year. All other states and territories receive nothing in this particular payment round.
