These payments are called 'national partnership payments' — they're grants of federal money that go to states for specific agreed purposes (like health, education, or infrastructure projects that both levels of government have signed up to). This particular determination covers the second round of these payments for the 2024-25 financial year, with the money scheduled to go out in August 2024. New South Wales gets the biggest slice ($126 million), followed by Victoria ($117 million), while the Northern Territory receives a disproportionately large amount ($89 million) relative to its population — reflecting how these payments often target specific needs or disadvantage rather than being distributed purely by population."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-partnership-payments-2024-25-payment-no-2-determination-2024","history":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-partnership-payments-2024-25-payment-no-2-determination-2024/history","analysis":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-partnership-payments-2024-25-payment-no-2-determination-2024/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-partnership-payments-2024-25-payment-no-2-determination-2024/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-partnership-payments-2024-25-payment-no-2-determination-2024/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-partnership-payments-2024-25-payment-no-2-determination-2024/documents"}}
