Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises the Australian Government to withdraw $5.87 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 1997–98, funding capital works, payments to states and territories, and other day‑to‑day services. Major allocations support Health and Family Services, Social Security, Prime Minister & Cabinet, Administrative Services, and Environment programs.
It also creates a $175 million “Advance to the Minister” for urgent unforeseen spending, permits year‑end accounting corrections, and includes transitional provisions for the incoming Financial Management and Accountability framework.
