Notes:
2. The increase in Children Services in 2020-21 primarily reflects the additional funding provided for Out of Home Care. The variation over the Forward Estimates reflects the decreasing profile of additional funding allocated for Out of Home Care, as outlined in the Key Deliverables section. The decrease from 2020-21 to 2021-22 also reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments.
3. The increase in Community Services in 2020-21 and 2021-22 primarily reflects additional funding for the Equal Remuneration Order. The decrease in 2023‑24 reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments.
4. Funding of $4.3 million relating to 2020‑21 is capitalised. Further information in relation to the works being undertaken with this funding is provided in the Key Deliverables section of this chapter.
5. The increase in Aboriginal Affairs in 2020-21 primarily reflects the rollover of unexpended appropriation from 2019-20 approved in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2016 for the Supporting the Reset Aboriginal Affairs program.
6. The variation in Womens Policy in 2020-21 and 2021-22 reflects the additional funding for Supporting Industry Pipelines for Women initiative.
7. The variation in Housing Services reflects changes to funding under the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement, and the additional funding for the Affordable Housing Action Plan (2019-2023) ‑ Operational Costs.
8. The variation in the Capital Investment Program reflects the timing of CIP expenditure that is not capitalised. Further details are provided in the CIP section of this chapter.
9. The increase in Disability Services primarily reflects Tasmania's contribution towards the NDIS and additional funding for the disability services that remain the responsibility of the Tasmanian Government.
10. The variation in Community Development - Policy Advice, and Ongoing Community Development in 2020-21 and over the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of one-off grants and 2018 election commitments.
11. The decrease in Veterans Affairs over the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments.
12. The variation in Safe Homes, Families, Communities reflects the rollover of unexpended appropriation from 2019-20 approved in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2016 and additional funds for the NPA on COVID-19 Domestic and Family Violence Responses.
This Output provides services to children, young people and their families through a range of programs within the Child Safety Service, Youth Justice Services and Family Violence Counselling and Support Services.

Notes:
1. The 2020-21 targets are projections rather than targets, reflecting the different processes including trend analysis which were used for some measures to identify relevant values.
2. This is a new measure for the activity of the Strong Families, Safe Kids Advice and Referral Line, which commenced in December 2018.
3. Figures for 2018-19 are partial year, as the Strong Families, Safe Kids Advice and Referral Line only commenced in December 2018.
4. The number of contacts to the Advice and Referral Line were lower than expected during March and April 2020 due to COVID‑19 restrictions. As a result, the contacts to the ARL are projected to be higher during 2020‑21.
5. The 2019-20 actuals are preliminary and may differ from figures published in national reports.
6. Due to changes in intake practice implemented during 2018-19, the proportion of contacts progressed to notifications has decreased and the number of notifications reported for 2018-19 onwards is not comparable with data reported for earlier years.
7. The population figures used to calculate rates are taken from the most recently released Report on Government Services. The population for these calculations is assumed to be the same as that published for the prior financial year.
8. This measure is different to measures reported nationally for children receiving family support services.
9. The introduction of the Advice and Referral Line has resulted in a significant drop in the number of cases that are referred for a child safety assessment, which results in more appropriate support for families and better outcomes for children and young people. This is because the needs of families and children will be recognised earlier, and connections will be made to services that can support and strengthen the family.
10. The title of this measure has been changed from Average daily children in active transition at Response to align with current terminology. Figures are comparable to those previously reported.
11. The increase in 2018‑19 was due to the transition from the old Intake model to the new ARL model.
12. The title of this measure has been changed from Investigation outcome determined within 28 days to align with current terminology. Figures are comparable to those previously reported. The 2020‑21 target is now reported as a projection due to the approach of Children and Family Services working with families for longer and engaging other support services to establish safety within a non-statutory environment.
13. The time taken to complete an assessment for this national measure commences from the first contact and includes the initial assessment phase, which is now done under the Advice and Referral Line. Improved outcomes for children and their families can be achieved through longer engagement and support.
14. The total percentage of re-substantiations data is preliminary and may be revised in future periods. As such the figure reported for the most recent financial year should be interpreted taking this into consideration.
15. This measure is affected by a change in scope of children in out of home care to align with national reporting. Children on third party guardianship orders are now excluded. Figures for previous years have been adjusted accordingly.
16. Foster care households with five or more foster children is reported as point in time as at 30 June of the given financial year.
17. The counting rules for this measure have a broader scope than those used for national reports and therefore figures will differ from the Youth justice services chapter of the Report on Government Services.
18. Some reported figures for 2019-20 are lower than previous years due to the commencement of COVID-19 restrictions where Youth Justice staff could not facilitate Community Work Orders and Community Conferences were unable to be undertaken.
19. Since 2017-18 this measure is based on performance reports requested and delivered for review within timeframes.
20. Re-assignment of Workforce Development staff to frontline Child Safety Service work as part of COVID-19 response resulted in reduced capacity to complete scheduled Quality Appraisals in 2019-20.
The Strong Families, Safe Kids Advice and Referral Line is the entry point to the Family Support and Child Safety Service system. Changes to the Child Safety Service front door have enabled an increased focus on early interventions by facilitating appropriate and timely family support services to ensure the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children and families. This means only the most concerning matters are referred to Child Safety Services for further action and more families get the right level of support they need to maintain a safe environment for their children and for families to stay together. This has been a key initiative underpinning the Strong Families Safe Kids Reform.
The ultimate goal for the Strong Families Safe Kids Reform is to shift the curve and improve the wellbeing outcomes for all Tasmanian children through a public health approach.
The next phase of Strong Families will focus effort on implementing the recommendations identified in the Strong Families Safe Kids Evaluation, progressing actions to continue cross agency relationship building and continuing the redesign of practice within the Child Safety Service to ensure the child safety workforce is supported to transition from a forensic practice approach to a child safety practice public health approach.
The number of young people engaged with Community or Custodial Youth Justice Services is predominantly influenced by external services. The factors affecting activity levels include referral practices and diversionary programs implemented by Tasmania Police, as well as the effectiveness of prosecutions and sentencing options selected by the Courts.
Child Youth Services continues to implement a more therapeutic approach within the Ashley Youth Detention Centre, which will focus on addressing presenting behaviours and encouraging young people to change behaviours through provision of targeted programs and services aligned with risk and need. This will improve safety and wellbeing outcomes for young people in custody that will enhance opportunities upon release and thereby reduce the likelihood of a return to custody. There is an improved learning and development framework for staff and a planned capital works program that will support the therapeutic approach.
Strategic Policy, Quality and Workforce Development is the Program Support area of Children and Families. Across a number of teams, SPQWD supports high quality practice in CYS operations through the development of both strategic and operational policies and procedures; development and delivery of operational reporting and analysis, and the delivery of a robust schedule of training and workforce development activities.
The Commissioner for Children and Young People is an independent statutory office established under the Commissioner for Children and Young People Act 2016. Activities provided in this Output include promoting the rights and wellbeing of children and young people and examining the policies, practices and services provided for children and any law affecting the health, welfare, care, protection and development of children.
The Office of the Commissioner for Children and Young People is an independent, statutory office responsible to the Parliament of Tasmania. Details of the Commissioner for Children and Young Peoples activities are available in the Commissioners Annual Reports, which can be accessed from its website at www.childcomm.tas.gov.au.
This Output provides services relating to planning, developing and managing affordable housing and homelessness programs throughout the State. This includes all functions relating to the delivery and management of public housing, capital development, housing reform, community housing, specialist homelessness services including new homelessness initiatives, private rental assistance and the management of community sector organisations providing outsourced services.

Notes:
1. The 2020‑21 target has been updated to reflect new social housing supply being delivered by community housing providers.
2. This indicator includes applicants housed into public or community housing from the Housing Register.
3. The 2020‑21 target has been updated to reflect the high proportion of priority applicants being housed from the Housing Register.
4. Private Rental Assistance has been trending down with the increase in assistance through other programs such as Rapid Rehousing and Private Rental Incentives. As a result, the target has been revised to reflect trends in actual assistance, as well as recent significant investment in private rental assistance.
5. Projections have been revised to reflect recent trends in applications. The 2020-21 target is a projection rather than target.
6. Figures from previous years are updated to reflect comparable data based on 2018‑19 dollars. The 2019-20 actuals were not available from the Report on Government Services at the time of reporting.
7. The 2020-21 target of 28.0 days turnaround has been agreed at a National level. Tasmania has achieved positive turnaround times well below the target in the past two years.
Tasmania continues to lead the nation in regard to reform of social housing. Around 4 000 properties (almost 35 per cent of the States social housing portfolio) have been transferred for management by the community sector under the Better Housing Futures initiative.
The Community Housing Growth Program is the next step in growing the role of community housing providers in Tasmania. It will build on and improve Better Housing Futures and will transfer a further 2 000 properties statewide to current Better Housing Futures providers. Critically, the CHGP also includes the release of around $100 million in capital grants to construct social housing that will contribute to Tasmanias social and economic recovery from COVID-19. The processes to implement the CHGP are being conducted during 2020-21.
In addition, stock owned by the Director of Housing is used to deliver a range of housing programs that are managed by non-government organisations including additional community housing and supported accommodation. It is proposed that around 56 per cent of Director of Housing owned properties will be managed by non-government organisations from 2021-22 onwards.
The management of social housing by the community sector results in many positive outcomes including access to Commonwealth Rent Assistance and GST savings which allows for greater investment in maintenance and the upgrade of social housing properties. Under new long-term agreements, community housing providers will be able to access a total of around $300 million in Commonwealth Rent Assistance to improve homes and build more homes. There is also greater flexibility in supporting tenants with special needs, the ability to provide a social mix of tenants and a range of community initiatives. A particular focus into the future will be to ensure that all social housing providers are prioritising and allocating housing to people with the highest needs.
Tasmania has the most integrated housing and homelessness system in Australia. Housing assistance ranges across the entire housing spectrum, from homelessness services to home ownership assistance, and is aimed to match tailored solutions to a persons individual needs.
Tasmanias Affordable Housing Action Plan 2019-2023 is the second stage of the ten‑year Affordable Housing Strategy. At the end of June 2020, Action Plan 2 has assisted almost 700 additional households with their housing needs. Under Action Plans 1 and 2, more than 2 200 households have been assisted since 2015.
The first year of Action Plan 2 includes: the delivery of 316 new social houses, the release of 34 new affordable lots of land into the market; and 43 new units of homeless accommodation. An additional 69 households have also been assisted into home ownership for their first time and over 200 others have been assisted through programs such as Rapid Rehousing and our Private Rental Incentive Scheme. Importantly, the momentum is continuing with around 150 more homes currently under construction and contracts for another 300 under negotiation.
In 2019-20, the Tasmanian Government also successfully negotiated the Commonwealth‑State Housing Agreement Debt Waiver, a historic agreement to waive $157 million in debt to the Australian Government and re-invest funding towards programs that reduce homelessness and increase housing supply around the State.
It has been a particularly challenging year in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Department has been guided closely by emergency management provisions to ensure that rental protections were in place for vulnerable Tasmanians, and that programs were funded to prevent housing stress and homelessness. The Government committed $5 million specifically towards emergency homeless accommodation in June 2019, and almost $4.3 million towards homelessness responses with COVID‑19 Response and Recovery Measures funding in April 2020 to provide prevention and response programs for people at risk of homelessness.
This Output provides services relating to planning, developing and managing family and community support services throughout the State. This includes funding for the Neighbourhood House Program, integrated family support services, the gambling support program and a range of other counselling and support services. All of these services are provided by community sector organisations.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme is one of the most complex and important reforms seen in Australia in recent years.
Tasmania entered full NDIS on 1 July 2019; since this time, specialist disability supports are funded by the NDIS and administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency. As of 1 July 2019, the majority of the existing clients of the State‑funded specialist disability services had transitioned to the NDIS, and the Department had ceased funding providers to deliver specialist disability supports.
The specialist disability supports that the NDIS scheme provides complement mainstream services that the Australian and state and territory governments provide, such as health, education, housing, transport and safety.
The full scheme Bilateral Agreement between the Australian Government and the State of Tasmania on the NDIS outlines the ongoing funding arrangements. From 1 July 2019, Tasmania committed to a fixed contribution. The Australian Government contributes the total cost of administration of the Scheme and will fully provide for all Australian Government financial contributions.
The Tasmanian Government continues to provide:
· advocacy funding;
· childrens therapy mainstream component;
· mainstream services such as health, education and justice; and
· continuity of support for people eligible under the Tasmanian Disability Services Act 2011 but not eligible for the NDIS.
With the advent of full NDIS, the role of the State Government changed to the delivery of strategic policy; regulation, including the continued authorisation of restrictive practices under the Tasmanian Disability Services Act 2011; and continued collaboration with people with disability, their families, carers and providers. Importantly the State Government remains a key stakeholder of the NDIS. As such, the State Government has a governance role which includes working with the NDIA to agree policy direction, and an operational role to resolve implementation issues and improve the interface with mainstream services, and to monitor the delivery of the scheme in Tasmania to achieve the best possible outcomes for Tasmanians.
This Output supports community capacity building through the provision of policy advice to Government and the administration of a diverse range of grant programs to meet the needs of Tasmanians.
Initiatives delivered through this Output include grants programs and policy development such as Accessible Island: Tasmanias Disability Framework for Action 2018-2021; the Carers Policy and Action Plan 2017-20; Strong, Liveable Communities: Tasmanias Active Ageing Plan 2017-2022; and the Tasmanian Multicultural Policy and Action Plan 2019-2022. The Output works closely with, and administers funding to, peak bodies including Council on the Ageing Tasmania, Youth Network of Tasmania, Volunteering Tasmania, Carers Tasmania, Multicultural Council of Tasmania, and the Tasmanian Mens Shed Association.
Executive support is also provided to the Premiers Disability Advisory Council, the Carer Issues Reference Group, the LGBTIQ+ whole-of-government Reference Group and the Multicultural Consultative Reference Group.
The Output is responsible for administering the Companion Card and Seniors Card programs.
This Output aims to improve social, cultural and economic outcomes for Tasmanian Aboriginal people and promote greater understanding, respect and acceptance of Aboriginal culture. It provides the governance for the implementation of the Governments Aboriginal Affairs policies and programs, along with administration of a range of funding agreements with Tasmanian Aboriginal community organisations. Key aspects of this work include working with the Australian Government, other jurisdictions and the Coalition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peak Organisations to develop and implement the new National Agreement on Closing the Gap; the project management of Stronger Remote Aboriginal Services for Flinders and Cape Barren Islands and the Young Aboriginal Leaders scholarship program.
This Output contributes to the development and implementation of policy that increases social and economic participation of women and girls and promotes gender equity and opportunities for womens leadership and participation, financial security, safety, and health and wellbeing. Initiatives delivered through this Output include the Tasmanian Womens Strategy and related action plans, the Women on Boards Strategy and scholarships for womens leadership development. Executive support is also provided to the Tasmanian Womens Council.
This Output supports and acknowledges the role of Tasmanian veterans and ex‑serving personnel through policy advice, grant programs, commemorative activities and events. This Output is responsible for the delivery of the Teddy Sheean Memorial Grants Program, the administration of funding agreements with a number of ex-serving organisations to deliver programs that support veterans wellbeing and the continued delivery of the Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize. This Output works closely with, and administers funding to, RSL Tasmania as the peak body for veterans. Executive support is also provided to the Veterans Reference Group.
This Output contributes to a number of Tasmanian Government objectives through the delivery of a range of policies, programs and services to encourage all Tasmanians to participate in sport, recreation and physical activity, including the administration of a diverse range of funding agreements and grants programs. Some of the key deliverables include increasing the capacity and governance capability of sporting organisations; implementing plans to increase participation in sport and recreation by all Tasmanians by addressing barriers to participation; contributing to A Healthy Tasmania outcomes and leading the planning and development of facilities and infrastructure to meet contemporary sport and recreations needs. The Output is also responsible for providing the best possible opportunities for Tasmanias elite athletes including assistance for their future performance at national championships and the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, rescheduled to 2021.

Notes:
1. In previous years, organisations in receipt of grant funding were reviewed under the Quality and Safety Framework for Tasmanias former Department of Health and Human Services Funded Community Sector. During 2019-20, these reviews were placed on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of a quality governance framework. However, quality and safety of funded organisations is monitored on an ongoing basis through funding agreement management. Future performance targets will be developed as part of the implementation of the quality governance framework and will reflect the risk-based approach being applied.
2. New performance measures are being developed which reflect completion of the transition to full NDIS.
3. Performance against this measure was the same in 2018-19 and 2017-18. This was coincidental, and due to new actions being added to the Reset agenda at a similar rate to existing actions being completed.
Disability services, previously funded by the Tasmanian Government, which have transitioned to the National Disability Insurance Scheme are subject to the NDIS quality and safeguarding requirements from July 2019.
State Disability Services will continue to deliver continuity of support programs for individuals that were accessing State funded services but are not eligible for the NDIS.
The NDIS provides reasonable and necessary supports, including individualised funding, to eligible people with disability which can be tailored to their individual needs. It is estimated that approximately 10 600 Tasmanians with disability aged up to 65 years will be supported by the NDIS. As at 30 June 2020 there are a total of 9 110 participants (inclusive of Early Childhood Early Intervention participants) in Tasmania.
This Output facilitates the actions being delivered by Government agencies under Tasmanias Family and Sexual Violence Action Plan 2019-2022 that is the coordinated, whole‑of‑government response to family violence and sexual violence in Tasmania.
The Safe Homes, Families, Communities initiatives are focused on changing the attitudes and behaviours that lead to family violence and sexual violence; supporting families and individuals affected by family violence and sexual violence; and strengthening the Governments legal responses to family violence and sexual violence to hold perpetrators to account for their violent behaviours.
This Output also includes funding for family violence responses outside of the Action Plan, including funding to support Project O, a primary prevention project in the North West, and additional funds received under the National Partnership Agreement on COVID-19 Domestic and Family Violence responses.

Funding of $68.5 million is provided for the redevelopment of the Derwent Entertainment Centre and Multi‑Sports Facility. An investment of $48.5 million will be made in the DEC to upgrade the facility including state of the art audio-visual experiences and brand new amenities, allowing for the hosting of NBL games, conventions and other major events, including concerts. Funding of $20 million is provided for the design and construction of a contemporary Multi‑Sport Facility. The four-court facility will address a long-standing need for additional indoor sports facilities in the greater Hobart area by catering to a variety of court based, gymnastics and other community events.
Funding of $100 million is allocated to the Community Housing Growth Program over three years, commencing in 2021-22. This will support the delivery of up to 1 000 new social housing dwellings and existing initiatives aimed at increasing the supply of social and affordable housing across Tasmania.
Funding of $50.1 million is allocated in 2020-21 for Housing Tasmanias capital program. This includes $21.5 million of funding made available under the former Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement Debt Waiver Agreement.
The CSHA Debt Waiver has made available $58.4 million to be invested into a program of works through to June 2023. This is further supported with an additional $10 million allocated as part of the Governments Construction Blitz to fast-track some of these projects.
This includes $53.6 million to support 300 new social housing dwellings through:
· grant funding for community housing providers to increase the supply of social housing; and
· direct investment into construction and purchase of new social housing by Housing Tasmania.
In addition, funds made available under the CSHA Debt Waiver Agreement will also be provided to support:
· the purchase of the Balmoral Inn, Glenorchy for use as a supported accommodation facility ($2.1 million);
· acquisition of vacant land in North Hobart for future social housing development ($1.4 million);
· expansion of the Private Rental Incentive Scheme to assist more vulnerable Tasmanians into affordable housing ($1.3 million);
· upgrading of the Oakleigh Court unit complex ($3 million); and
· other land acquisition and affordable housing projects ($6.5 million).
Funding of $35 million is allocated in 2020-21 to continue the delivery of the second stage of Tasmanias Affordable Housing Action Plan.
Funding of $7 million has been provided for a major redesign and upgrade to the AYDC facility to make it fit‑for‑purpose, and continue to improve the model of care, as part of a modern, integrated statewide therapeutic youth justice model. Funding of $6.3 million is allocated across 2020‑21 and 2021‑22 for the redevelopment.

Notes:
1. The increase in Appropriation revenue - operating in 2020-21 primarily reflects additional funding for COVID-19 Response and Recovery Measures and Other Key Deliverables. The variation across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments and fixed‑term funding provided in the 2020-21 Budget.
2. The variation in the Appropriation revenue - capital primarily reflects the anticipated profile of Capital Investment Projects over the 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates.
3. Other Revenue from government reflects the rollover of unexpended appropriation from 2019‑20 approved in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2016 due to delays in a number of projects.
4. The variation in Grants primarily relates to fixed‑term funding for the Public Building Maintenance Program; the NPA on COVID‑19 Domestic and Family Violence Responses; the NPA on Remote Indigenous Housing; and funding from the Digital Transformation Priority Expenditure Program for the Integrated Client Information Program.
5. The increase in Sales of goods and services and decrease in Other revenue in 2021-22 reflects a reclassification of revenue.
6. The increase in Employee benefits in 2020-21 primarily reflects additional expenditure relating to Key Deliverables.
7. The increase in Depreciation and amortisation primarily reflects additional activity related to the Capital Investment Program.
8. The increase in Supplies and consumables in 2020‑21 and subsequent decrease across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects additional funding in 2020-21, particularly for COVID-19 Response and Recovery Measures and Out of Home Care Demand Growth.
9. The increase in Grants and subsidies in 2020-21 primarily reflects the rollover of unexpended appropriation from 2019‑20 approved in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2016; additional funding of $10 million to fast track Housing projects; and COVID‑19 Response and Recovery Measures including $23 million for COVID-19 Emergency Accommodation assistance. The decrease in 2022-23 primarily reflects funding brought forward to 2020-21 and 2021‑22 to fast track Housing projects.
10. The 2019-20 Budget for Borrowing Costs included the former Commonwealth‑State Housing Agreement debt repayment. This debt has been waived and the Budget reallocated to Housing capital expenditure.

Notes:
1. The decrease in Sport and Recreation over the 2020‑21 Budget and Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments and one-off grants.
2. The variation in the Capital Investment Program reflects the timing of funding associated with project delivery. Further details are provided in the CIP section of this chapter.
3. The variation in Children Services over the Forward Estimates reflects the lower profile of additional funding allocated for the Out of Home Care initiative, as outlined in the Key Deliverables section. The decrease from 2020-21 to 2021-22 also reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments.
4. The increase in Community Services in 2020-21 and 2021-22 primarily reflects additional funding for the Equal Remuneration Order. The decrease in 2023‑24 reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments.
5. The variation in Womens Policy in 2020-21 and 2021-22 reflects the additional funding for Supporting Industry Pipelines for Women initiative.
6. The variation in Housing Services reflects changes to funding under the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement, and the additional funding for the Affordable Housing Action Plan (2019-2023) ‑ Operational Costs.
7. The increase in Disability Services primarily reflects Tasmania's contribution towards the NDIS and additional funding for the disability services that remain the responsibility of the Tasmanian Government.
8. The variation in Community Development - Policy Advice, and Ongoing Community Development over the 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates reflects the completion of one-off grants and 2018 election commitments.
9. The variation in Veterans Affairs over the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments.

Notes:
1. Some balance estimates for 2021 and later years will be impacted by final closing balances presented in the Departments 2019‑20 Annual Report. Further information on the impact of the timing of the 2020-21 Budget on opening balances is provided in chapter 1 of this Budget Paper.
2. The variation in Equity investments primarily reflects increased expenditure in Housing investments over the 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates.
3. The variation in 2021 for Property, plant and equipment reflects expenditure related to the Commonwealth-State Housing Debt Waiver Agreement; the Emergency Homelessness Response; and the Public Building Maintenance Program.
4. The increase in Infrastructure in 2021 and the Forward Estimates reflects the recognition of the Derwent Entertainment Centre and Multi-Sports Facility.
5. The variation in 2021 and 2022 for Intangibles primarily reflects the Integrated Client Information Program, funded from the Digital Transformation Priority Expenditure Program.
6. The decrease in 2021 for Other assets primarily reflects a change in the accounting treatment for the recognition of leases. Further information on this change is provided in chapter 1 of this Budget Paper.
7. The decrease in 2021 for Interest bearing liabilities primarily reflects the removal of the Commonwealth‑State Housing Debt.

Notes:
1. The increase in Appropriation receipts - operating in 2020-21 primarily reflects additional funding for COVID-19 Response and Recovery Measures. The variation across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2018 election commitments and fixed‑term funding provided in the 2020-21 Budget.
2. The variation in the Appropriation receipts - capital primarily reflects the anticipated expenditure profile of Capital Investment Projects.
3. Appropriation receipts - other reflects rollovers of unexpended appropriation from 2019‑20 approved in accordance with the Financial Management Act 2016 due to delays in a number of projects.
4. The variation in Grants primarily relates to fixed term funding for the Public Building Maintenance Program; the NPA on COVID‑19 Domestic and Family Violence Responses; the NPA on Remote Indigenous Housing; and the Digital Transformation Priority Expenditure Program for the Integrated Client Information Program.
