Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These regulations set the inflation adjustment rate for federal school funding between 1993 and 1996.

What it does

Establishes a cost supplementation factor of 1.036 — meaning all recurrent (day-to-day operating) grants listed in the parent Act's schedules get multiplied by 1.036 to account for rising education costs.
Applies specifically to the program years 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996.
Bases this figure on data from the Australian Education Council regarding the actual costs of running government schools.

Who it affects State governments receiving federal funding for public primary and secondary schools, and by extension, the schools that rely on that adjusted funding to pay teachers, utilities, and running costs.

Why it matters Without this adjustment, the fixed dollar amounts in the original legislation would lose purchasing power as education costs increased. This ensures the federal funding contribution maintains its real value during the mid-1990s period.
