departmental item means the total amount set out in Schedule 1 in relation to a non‑corporate entity under the heading “Departmental”.

Note: The amounts set out opposite outcomes, under the heading “Departmental”, are “notional”. They are not part of the item, and do not in any way restrict the scope of the expenditure authorised by the item.

expenditure means payments for expenses, acquiring assets, making loans or paying liabilities.

5 Notional transactions between entities that are part of the Commonwealth

For the purposes of this Act, notional transactions between non‑corporate entities are to be treated as if they were real transactions.

Note: This section applies, for example, to a “payment” between non‑corporate entities that are both part of the Commonwealth. One of the effects of this section is that the payment will be debited from an appropriation for the paying non‑corporate entity, even though no payment is actually made from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. This is consistent with section 76 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

Part 2—Appropriation items

6 Summary of appropriations

The total of the items specified in Schedule 1 is $7,034,632,000.

7 Departmental items

The amount specified in a departmental item for a non‑corporate entity may be applied for the departmental expenditure of the entity.

8 Administered items

(1) The amount specified in an administered item for an outcome for a non‑corporate entity may be applied for expenditure for the purpose of contributing to achieving that outcome.

(2) If the portfolio statements indicate that activities of a particular kind were intended to be treated as activities in respect of a particular outcome, then expenditure for the purpose of carrying out those activities is taken to be expenditure for the purpose of contributing to achieving the outcome.

9 Corporate entity items

(1) The amount specified in a corporate entity item for a corporate entity may be paid to the entity to be applied for the purposes of the entity.

(2) If:

(a) an Act provides that a corporate entity must be paid amounts that are appropriated by the Parliament for the purposes of the entity; and

(b) Schedule 1 contains a corporate entity item for that entity;

then the entity must be paid the full amount specified in the item.

Part 3—Advance to the Finance Minister

10 Advance to the Finance Minister

(1) If the Finance Minister determined an amount under subsection 10(2) of the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2024‑2025 before the commencement of this Act, the amount is to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection 10(3) of that Act.

Note: This means that, after the commencement of this Act, the Finance Minister has access to $400 million under section 10 of the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2024‑2025, regardless of amounts that have already been determined under that section.

(2) If:

(a) this Act appropriates an amount for particular expenditure; and

(b) before the commencement of this Act, the Finance Minister determined an amount (the advanced amount) under section 10 of the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2024‑2025 for the expenditure;
