Section 1: Resources for
2009-10
1.1 Appropriations and other resources
The total appropriation for the department in the 2009-10
Budget is $36.2m (compared with $35.0m in 2008-09).
Table 1.1 on the following page shows the total resources
from all origins. The table summarises how resources will be applied by outcome
and by administered and departmental classification.
The department draws on special appropriations for the
payment of senators' salaries and allowances; superannuation; and postage and
freight expenses.
- The department’s total resources are $47.2m, of which 76% ($35.7m)
is contributed by total budget year appropriations. The majority of the balance
of $10.9m (23%) represents an estimate of prior year appropriations available
at the commencement of the 2009-10 budget year. Revenue from sales of goods
and services ($0.53m) are less than 1% of total resources.
- There are no significant adjustments against the 2009-10 budget
year.

1.3 Transition from outcomes and outputs to outcomes and programs
From the 2009-10 Budget, all Commonwealth
departments and agencies will be reporting on a program basis.
The change for the department has not been
a significant one. The department continues to have the one outcome, which
changed from:
Effective
provision of services to support the functioning of the Senate as a House of
the Commonwealth Parliament
to:
Advisory and administrative support services to
enable the Senate and Senators to fulfil their representative and legislative
duties.
The department manages two programs:
- Other Departmental; and
- Parliamentarians Remuneration and Entitlements (administered).
‘Other Departmental’ consists of its five
offices which correspond directly to the five output groups it used in the
previous budgeting framework.
