Plain English Summary

7/10 complexity

This instrument amends the 2024–25 Appropriation Acts to rename portfolios, create new departmental and administered appropriation items, substitute outcomes, and transfer budget items and amounts between departments and portfolios. It affects Commonwealth agencies, portfolio ministers, Finance/Treasury accounting and the flow of program funding because it reallocates who holds and administers specific appropriations and the reporting lines for those funds.

What it does

This instrument, the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Section 75 Transfers) Determination 2024-2025, made under section 75 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (see s 3), changes the legal effect of the 2024‑2025 Appropriation Acts by treating certain portfolio and appropriation items as if they were otherwise stated in those Acts. Mechanically, it does three kinds of things.

First, it relabels portfolio and department references in the Appropriation Acts, so that budget lines and outcomes that refer to particular portfolios or departments are treated as if they referred instead to renamed portfolios and departments. See s 4A(1)(a)-(d): for example, references to the Health and Aged Care portfolio are treated as references to the Health, Disability and Ageing portfolio, and references to the Department of Health and Aged Care are treated as references to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Likewise, the instrument adds Sport to the long title of the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts portfolio and its department, changing how those Appropriation Acts are read.

Second, it transfers appropriation items and outcomes between portfolios, again by treating the Appropriation Acts as if items for particular entities were included under different portfolios. See s 4A(2)(a)-(f). Examples: items and outcomes for a set of law‑enforcement and intelligence entities listed under the Attorney‑General’s portfolio in the Appropriation Acts are to be treated as included for the Home Affairs portfolio (s 4A(2)(a)(i)-(vi)). Items for the Australian Financial Security Authority move from Attorney‑General’s to the Treasury portfolio (s 4A(2)(b)). Items for the Australian Sports Commission and Sport Integrity Australia are treated as included under the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts portfolio rather than Health, Disability and Ageing (s 4A(2)(c)). The Net Zero Economy Authority is treated as included for Industry, Science and Resources rather than Prime Minister and Cabinet (s 4A(2)(d)). Items for the National Disability Insurance Agency and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission are treated as included for the Health, Disability and Ageing portfolio rather than Social Services (s 4A(2)(e)). Services Australia items that appeared in Social Services are treated as included for Finance (s 4A(2)(f)).

1 Name

This instrument is the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Section 75 Transfers) Determination 2024-2025.

3 Authority

This instrument is made under section 75 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

4 Definitions

In this instrument:

Appropriation Act means:

(a) the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2024-2025; or
(b) the Appropriation Act (No. 2) 2024-2025; or
(c) the Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2024-2025; or
(d) the Appropriation Act (No. 4) 2024-2025.

appropriation item means an item within the meaning of an Appropriation Act.

4A Modification of Appropriation Acts

Compliance with this determination will be an exercise in translation: converting the determination’s changes to Appropriation Acts into updated financial, accounting, program and governance practices at the affected entities. The following steps are practical, concrete actions derived from the instrument’s legal effects.

Legal and records review, immediate. Departments and entities named in the instrument should, as a first step, record the determination in their legal-instruments register and treatment of appropriation lines. Confirm which Appropriation Acts and Schedule items are affected by cross‑referencing the tables in ss 5-7 with internal appropriation registers. Note newly created items inserted by the determination, for example the Administrative Review Tribunal departmental item and outcomes (s 5(1A) and s 6(2)).
Update appropriation ledgers and chart of accounts. For each table entry, adjust the general ledger mapping so that departmental and administered funds are coded to the appropriation item identified in the instrument. Where an increase is to be treated as from nil, create the new appropriation code and ensure the initial appropriation balance equals the instrument’s specified increase (per s 5(2) and analogous provisions).
Coordinate with Treasury and Finance cash management. Liaise with Treasury and the Department of Finance to ensure cash drawdowns and Special Appropriation reconciliation reflect the modified appropriation lines. Large transfers such as those noted in s 5 table items 9-10, and the NDIS reallocations require early coordination to avoid cash timing mismatches.
Reconcile balance sheet and equity injection items. Where the instrument moves equity injections or departmental capital funding (see s 6 table item 1-2), reconcile assets, liabilities and equity movements. Confirm whether the transferred appropriation carries matching assets, and if not, document how asset ownership, capital projects and responsibility will be reallocated.
Update delegations, authorisations and internal policy. Adjust financial delegations and internal policies to authorise expenditure against the newly recorded appropriation lines. This includes delegations for departmental items, administered payments and grants. Where an appropriation is moved to another department or portfolio, ensure that the new accountable authority and nominated officials have authorised signatory rights in the financial management system.
Program and contract management. For administered items moved between departments (for example NDIS, sport and recreation funds), identify existing contracts, grants, memoranda of understanding and service agreements that deliver on those administered appropriations. Decide whether those instruments will be novated, administered under a transitional MOU, or otherwise managed. Document decision‑making to provide an audit trail, so that payments are lawfully authorised by the administering entity recorded in the Appropriation Acts as modified.
Communications and ministerial briefing. Because the instrument changes portfolio attribution on the face of Appropriation Acts, ensure ministerial offices, central agencies and parliamentary liaison teams are briefed on the changes. Provide updated factsheets and briefing lines for Estimates hearings and parliamentary questions to reflect new portfolio responsibilities shown in the modified appropriation schedules.
IT and payments system changes. Make necessary changes to payment systems, ledger interfaces and grant management systems to direct payments to the correct appropriation code and to ensure reporting aligns with the modified Appropriation Acts. Prioritise high‑value and recurring payments tied to moved administrative appropriations.
Audit and assurance controls. Implement internal control checks and a reconciliation plan showing how each table entry in ss 5-7 has been implemented. Prepare working papers explaining the legal basis (the determination citing s 75 PGPA Act) and the accounting treatment. This will be necessary for external audit verification.
Transitional governance. Where the determination effects a functional shift (for example items moved from Attorney‑General’s to Home Affairs, or from Social Services to Health), set up a transitional governance arrangement documenting responsibilities for stakeholder engagement, continuity of service, complaints handling and legal continuity, including any delegated authorities to run programs during the transition.
Public reporting and Budget papers. Ensure that departmental resource statements, Portfolio Budget Statements and annual reports reflect the appropriation attribution that results from the determination. The determinations’ outcome statements inserted by s 5(1A), s 5(1B), s 5(1C) and s 5(1D) should be used where appropriate in explanatory material.
Seek legal advice on ambiguous cases. If there is any uncertainty about whether a particular program activity, standing appropriation or existing contractual term is affected by the reallocation, obtain legal advice based on the instrument text and the relevant program legislation. The determination alters the Appropriation Acts’ face but does not resolve potential conflicts with other statutory allocations or existing instruments.

Practical timeline. Implement the changes promptly to align financial operations with the modified Appropriation Acts for the 2024‑25 financial year. Priority should go to high‑value transfers and administered programs that make payments to participants or contractors, since those are time‑sensitive and carry continuity risk.

Record retention. Keep a clear administrative record showing each step taken to implement the determination, including evidence of approvals, ledger adjustments, MOUs, novation agreements, system change requests and Treasury/Finance confirmations. Those records form the compliance trail in any subsequent audit or parliamentary review.

Following these steps will translate the legal change effected by the Section 75 determination into operational financial management consistent with the PGPA Act and the Appropriation Acts as modified.
