Throughout the financial year, the department made payments via special appropriations in accordance with third party access agreements with the Department of Finance. The agreement facilitates payments under the following Acts for the purposes described:
- Parliamentary Superannuation Act 2004—For the purposes necessary to administer the special appropriation in section 18 of the Act.
- Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act—For the purposes necessary to administer the special appropriation in section 66 of the Act.
- Parliamentary Business Resources Act 2017—For the appropriation in section 59 of the Act.
In the 2018–19 financial year the department made payments under a third party access arrangement with the Australian Public Service Commission for payments under s 7(13) of the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973. This arrangement ceased when the Parliamentary Business Resources Act 2017 (PBR Act) came into effect on 1 January 2018. The PBR Act replaced the department's special appropriation arrangements under the Parliamentary Entitlements Act 1990 and the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
