FACT SHEET CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION (SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION FOR 2010-11) BILL 2011 A supplementary appropriation, in accordance with the Public Account Act 1986, is sought from the Consolidated Fund for material expenditure variations which have occurred since the 2010-11 Budget. The 2010-11 Mid-Year Financial Report incorporated the majority of these variations, including additional funding to the Department of Health and Human Services of $70.0 million and the Department of Education of $27.0 million. Requests for additional funding of $31.8 million for the delivery of health and human services; $3.2 million for the maintenance program within schools; and $9.3 million to provide for natural disaster relief have been received subsequently to the release of the Report and are included in the supplementary appropriation. It is anticipated that other expenditure variations will arise for the current year and further funding for 2010-11 will be managed by way of a Request for Additional Funds, within the limitations of the Treasurer's Reserve. The utilisation of Australian Government payments will also be managed by way of RAFs.
