2.1 Outcomes and performance information
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which AHL a “government agency” achieves the intended results of their outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs which contribute to Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of Aboriginal Hostels Limited in achieving Government outcomes.
Outcome 1
Improved access to education, employment, health and other services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people travelling or relocating through the operation of temporary hostel accommodation services.
| Outcome 1 strategy
The AHL Board has identified three main themes or directions for the three years from 2011-13. These are to:
-
facilitate ‘wrap around’ services to lead to independent living
-
develop partnerships with public and private sectors
-
provide pathways to employment for students and trainees.

Contributions to Outcome 1
Program 1.1: Company Operated Hostels
|
Program 1.1 objective
To provide temporary accommodation at company operated hostels that assist Indigenous Australians who must live away from home to access services and economic opportunity.
|
Program 1.1 expenses
Newly operational hostels (Kununurra Secondary Education Hostel, Tonky Logan) in Townsville are resulting in increased expenditure levels.
Expenses also fluctuate due to prices increases for essential supplies, such as food and construction/maintenance materials.
The contract with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) for the delivery of the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program in seven locations (Darwin, Alice Springs, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour and Hobart) is due to end in June 2012. As a result, there is a marked reduction in total expenditure from 2012–13 that aligns with the reduction in the income from DEEWR for the same period.
