What this Act does (mechanics)

Appropriates an additional $9,184,444,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the ordinary annual services of the Commonwealth (see section 6 and Schedule 1).
Lists detailed departmental, administered and corporate entity items in Schedule 1 that allocate those funds across portfolios and agencies (see Schedule 1).
Declares the portfolio budget and additional estimates statements to be relevant documents for statutory interpretation (section 4).
Treats notional transactions between non‑corporate Commonwealth entities as if they were real transactions for appropriation/accounting purposes (section 5).
Adjusts the Finance Minister’s access to an advance under earlier appropriation/supply Acts: it makes certain pre‑commencement determinations disregarded for the calculation of the available advance, and treats amounts previously advanced as reducing the appropriation in this Act (Part 3, section 10).
Allows amounts to be debited against the appropriation and credited to special accounts where a special account’s purposes overlap with an item (section 11).
Appropriates the Consolidated Revenue Fund as necessary to give effect to the Act and is programmed to be repealed on 1 July 2028 (sections 12 and 13).

Key legal references: definitions and notes about what counts as departmental, administered and corporate entity items are in section 3; overall total in section 6; operational rules in sections 7–9; advance mechanics in section 10; crediting to special accounts in section 11; Schedule 1 sets out the line items and amounts.

What this bill would change

The Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2025-2026 appropriates an additional $9,184,444,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the ordinary annual services of the Government. This amount supplements the appropriations already provided under the Supply Act (No. 1) 2025-2026 and Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2025-2026. Clause 6 summarises the total, while Schedule 1 sets out the precise allocations across 16 portfolios. Departmental items total $2,720,744,000 and administered items total $6,463,700,000. Notable portfolio allocations include $2,995,261,000 for Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, $1,608,540,000 for Health, Disability and Ageing, $1,159,260,000 for Defence, $1,060,399,000 for Home Affairs and $392,249,000 for Industry, Science and Resources. The Act adjusts the Advance to the Finance Minister under clause 10 by disregarding prior determinations from the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2025-2026 and Supply Act (No. 1) 2025-2026, restoring the full $400 million limit. Clause 11 permits amounts to be debited from items and credited to special accounts where purposes align. Clause 13 provides for automatic repeal on 1 July 2028. Portfolio statements are declared relevant documents under clause 4 for interpretation purposes pursuant to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901. Notional transactions between non-corporate entities are treated as real transactions under clause 5, consistent with section 76 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

3 Definitions

In this Act:

administered item means an amount set out in Schedule 1 opposite an outcome for a non‑corporate entity under the heading “Administered”.

corporate entity means:

(a) a corporate Commonwealth entity within the meaning of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013; or

(b) a Commonwealth company within the meaning of that Act.

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

Note: The amounts set out opposite outcomes for corporate entities, under the heading “Administered”, 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.

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.

item means any of the following:

(a) an administered item;

special account has the same meaning as in the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

4 Portfolio statements

Note: See paragraph 15AB(2)(g) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 which provides that the material that may be considered in the interpretation of a provision of an Act includes any document that is declared by the Act to be a relevant document.

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 $9,184,444,000.

Note 2: Sections 74 to 75 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 also provide for the adjustment of amounts appropriated by this Act.

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

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) 2025‑2026, regardless of amounts that have already been determined under that section or under section 10 of the Supply Act (No. 1) 2025‑2026.

(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) 2025‑2026 or section 10 of the Supply Act (No. 1) 2025‑2026 for the expenditure;

the amount appropriated by this Act for the expenditure is taken to be reduced (but not below nil) by the advanced amount.
