* Full year budget, including any subsequent adjustments made to the 2017-18 budget through additional estimates and estimated outcome as published in the 2018-19 Budget

1. Departmental appropriation combines ‘ordinary annual services (

Appropriation Act No. 1 & Act No. 3

)' and ‘section 74 revenue receipts’.

2. Expenses not requiring appropriation in the budget year may include depreciation expenses, amortisation expenses, make good expenses, audit fees, concessional costs for loans, finance costs and impairment of financial instruments.

3. This reflects the amount of funding disbursed on a cash basis, not an expense basis.

4. Since publishing the 2017-18 Foreign Affairs and Trade Portfolio Budget Statements, Program 1.4 - Official Development Assistance - East Asia AIPRD has been completed and removed from the above program structure. As a result, the former Programs 1.5 to 1.8 have been renumbered as above.
