a. Final estimates have been used for special appropriations while additional estimates have been used for annual appropriations.
b. Budget prior to additional estimates
c. FaCS includes the Social Security Appeals Tribunal, but excludes the Child Support Agency which is shown separately.
d. Non-appropriated expenses are expenses from sources other than annual or special appropriation (non-appropriated revenue). For example, monies paid into the Child Support Trust Fund by non-custodial parents are non-appropriated revenue, while disbursements of those monies to custodial parents and allowances for bad debts are a non-appropriated expense. In Outcome 1, these include the Child Support payments and transfers back to the Australian Government in relation to the Student Financial Loan Scheme.
