Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Determination shifts money between two government departments to match a reorganisation of responsibilities. Following an Administrative Arrangement Order in December 2011, the Tertiary Education function (universities and higher education) moved from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) to the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE).

To ensure the money follows the work, the instrument transfers nearly $36.4 million in funding from DEEWR to DIISRTE across three budget laws:

$5.9 million from the 2012-2013 main appropriations
$913,000 in equity injections (capital funding) from the 2012-2013 supplementary appropriations
$29.6 million from the 2011-2012 appropriations

This is a routine "machinery of government" change that adjusts the budget when functions move between departments.
