Accounting Policy
Revenue
All administered revenues are revenues relating to the course of ordinary activities performed by the Department on behalf of the Australian Government. As such, administered appropriations are not revenues of the individual entity that oversees distribution or expenditure of the funds as directed.
Administered revenue is recognised when the service is provided. Collectability of the debt is reviewed at balance date. Impairment allowances are made when collectability of the debt is judged to be less, rather than more, likely.

Administered Cash Transfers to and from the Official Public Account
Revenue collected by the Department for use by the Government rather than the Department is administered revenue. Collections are transferred to the Official Public Account (OPA) maintained by the Department of Finance. Conversely, cash is drawn from the OPA to make payments under Parliamentary appropriation on behalf of Government. These transfers to and from the OPA are adjustments to the administered cash held by the Department on behalf of the Government and reported as such in the Schedule of Administered Cash Flows and in the Administered Reconciliation Schedule.

Budget Variance Commentary
The following table provides a comparison between the 2018–19 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) budget and the final financial outcome in the 2018–19 financial statements. The Budget and Revised Budget is not audited and does not reflect budget estimates presented to Parliament in respect of the 2019 financial year. However, major changes in budget have been explained as part of the variance analysis where relevant.
Variances are considered to be ‘major’ based on the following criteria:
- the variance between budget and actual is greater than 10 per cent; or
- an item that is below this threshold but is considered material for the analysis of the performance of the Department.
Administered Major Budget Variances for 2018-2019
Explanations of major variances |

---|---|

Accounting Policy
The Department administers a number of grant and subsidy schemes on behalf of the Government.
Grant and subsidy liabilities are recognised to the extent that:
– the services required to be performed by the grantee have been performed; or
– the grant eligibility criteria have been satisfied, but payments due have not been made. A commitment is recorded when the Government enters into an agreement to make these grants and subsidies but services have not been performed or criteria satisfied.
Payment to corporate Commonwealth entities from amounts appropriated for that purpose are classified as administered expenses, equity injections or loans of the relevant portfolio department. The appropriation to the Department is disclosed under the Note 25 – Appropriation.
All administered revenues are revenues relating to ordinary activities performed by the Department on behalf of the Australian Government. As such, administered appropriations are not revenues of the individual entity that oversees distribution or expenditure of the funds as directed.

The Commonwealth retains 100 per cent ownership of the listed investment. The principle activity of the administered investment is as follows:
1. Coal Mining Industry (Long Service Leave Funding) Corporation (Coal LSL) – the administration of the Coal Mining Industry Long Service Leave Fund (The Fund). The Fund has operated since 1949 to provide reimbursement payments to employers paying long service leave to persons employed in the black coal industry in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania on the basis of industry employment service.
2. Comcare – the minimisation of human and financial costs in relation to workplace injury in Commonwealth Employment.
The Department’s investment in Comcare was not recorded in the 2017-18 financial statements; the amount of
$22.942 million (Comcare’s net asset position in 2017-18) has been restated.
The listed investments have been removed from the Administered Schedule of Assets and Liabilities as a result of the Administrative Arrangements Order of 29 May 2019 that transferred them to the Attorney-General’s Department.
Accounting Policy
Administered Investments
Administered investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are not consolidated because their consolidation is relevant only at the Whole of Government level.
Administered investments other than those held for sale are classified as amortised cost and are measured at their fair value as at 30 June 2019. Fair value has been taken to be the Australian Government's proportional interest in the net assets of the entities as at the end of the reporting period.

There are a number of administered assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the Administered Schedule of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities are considered to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
The Department’s administered investments are classified at fair value through other comprehensive income and are measured at their fair value as at 30 June 2019. Fair value is assessed as the Australian Government's proportional interest in the net assets of the entity at balance date. The methods and valuation techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value of assets and liabilities in 2019 are unchanged from the prior year.
Changing inputs to the level 3 hierarchy valuations to reasonably possible alternate assumptions would not significantly change amounts recognised in net cost of service or other comprehensive income.
