The Department reports to the Minister for Education, Children and Youth and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Hon Roger Jaensch MP; Minister for Sport and Recreation and Minister for Community Services and Development, Hon Nic Street MP; Minister for State Development, Construction and Housing and Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Hon Guy Barnett MP; Minister for Disability Services and Minister for Women, Hon Jo Palmer MLC; and Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, Hon Jacquie Petrusma MP.
Service delivery is achieved through direct provision of services by the Department or in close partnership with the community through service agreements or contracts with provider organisations.
The principal responsibilities of the Department include:
· supporting individuals, families and carers to have greater control over matters that directly affect the lives and circumstances of people living with disability;
· statutory responsibilities for children and young people in relation to child safety, out of home care and youth justice, including operation of the Ashley Youth Detention Centre;
· funding a range of community services for children and their families, including early intervention, family violence counselling and family support services;
· delivering and funding secure, affordable and appropriate housing and support to low income Tasmanians, as well as accommodation and support for people experiencing homelessness;
· developing and supporting opportunities for all Tasmanians to participate in community life, sport and recreation;
· working closely with peak bodies and stakeholders across all population groups including youth, older people, the multicultural community, veterans, carers and the LGBTIQ+ community to enhance access and participation;
· improving social, cultural and economic outcomes for Tasmanian Aboriginal people and promoting greater understanding, and respect of Aboriginal culture;
· contributing to the development and implementation of policy that increases financial security, leadership and participation, safety, health and wellbeing and gender equity for women and girls;
· leading the coordinated whole‑of‑government response to family and sexual violence in Tasmania; and
· supporting and acknowledging the role of Tasmanian veterans and ex‑serving personnel through policy advice, liaison with ex‑service organisations, and delivery of the Teddy Sheean VC Memorial grant program and other commitments.
The Department also provides administrative support to the Tasmanian Community Fund which is separately accountable and reports directly to the Parliament of Tasmania.
This chapter provides the Department’s financial information for 2022‑23 and over the Forward Estimates (2023‑24 to 2025‑26). Further information about the Department is provided at www.communities.tas.gov.au.
On 24 February 2022, the Government announced it would strengthen departmental administrative structures to deliver better services and outcomes. The changes will be phased from 1 July 2022, in a staged approach to be completed by 30 September 2022. The Department of Communities Tasmania will not exist after this date, subject to the passage of legislation for a new Housing statutory authority.
Major functions pertaining to children and young people will move to the Department of Education, which will be renamed the Department of Education, Children and Young People. Housing Tasmania will be made a Statutory Authority reporting directly to the Minister for State Development, Construction and Housing. The remaining functions of the Department will be reviewed and then transferred to the Department of State Growth and the Department of Premier and Cabinet. These functions include Disability Services, Women, Office of Aboriginal Affairs, Family Violence Prevention, Veterans’ Affairs, and Community Services, Community Development, Sport and Recreation including the Tasmanian Institute of Sport, the Silverdome and grants management.
A restructure of the 2022‑23 Budget and Forward Estimates will be undertaken during 2022‑23 to reflect the departmental changes.
Refer to chapter 1 of this Budget Paper for further information.

Notes:
1. The decrease in Sport and Recreation in 2022‑23 primarily reflects one‑off grant payments for 2021‑22 Budget initiatives, including the Local Community Facilities Fund and Improving the Playing Field. The decrease over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives and one‑off grants.
2. The increase in Aboriginal Affairs in 2022‑23 primarily reflects expenditure for the Tasmanian Closing the Gap Implementation Plan initiative.
3. The decrease in Women’s Policy in 2022‑23 primarily reflects one‑off expenditure in 2021‑22 for the COVID-19 Response Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2018‑2021, partly offset by an increase in expenditure in 2022‑23 for the Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2022‑27. The decrease across the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
4. The decrease in Veterans’ Affairs in 2022‑23 primarily reflects one‑off expenditure in 2021‑22 for the Local Community Facilities Fund. The decrease over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives, including the Dago Point Veterans’ Retreat, and RSL Upgrades.
5. The increase in Community Services in 2022‑23 primarily reflects the 2021‑22 Budget initiative for the Neighbourhood Houses Capital Improvement Program. The decrease in 2023‑24 primarily reflects the completion of prior year Budget initiatives.
6. The decrease in Community Development in 2022‑23 and over the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
7. The increase in Housing Services in 2022‑23 primarily reflects the Continuation of COVID Housing Support Measures, and the re-profile of expenditure for 2021‑22 Budget Public Housing Initiatives ‑ Energy Efficiency program.
8. The increase in Children Services in 2022‑23 primarily reflects expenditure for the Response to the Many Colours One Direction Program Review, Continuation of Investment into the Child Safety Service System, Intensive Family Engagement Services and Continuation of Transition to Independence (T2i). The decrease in Children Services over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the re-profile of expenditure for Out of Home Care provided in the 2020‑21 Budget. This is partly offset by funding for 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
9. The increase in Office of the Commissioner for Children and Young People in 2022‑23 primarily reflects expenditure for staff to support the Commission of Inquiry and the Ashley Youth Detention Centre transition.

Notes:
1. The 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 targets for these measures are a projection rather than a target, reflecting the different processes, including trend analysis, which were used for some measures to identify relevant values.
2. This measure is the number of referrals from the Advice and Referral Line to the Child Safety Service for a Child Safety Assessment.
3. From 2020‑21, this performance measure only calculates time taken to complete an assessment once the matter has been referred to the Child Safety Service for a full child safety assessment.
4. The target for this measure corresponds to the latest national average, which increased to 3.5 per cent in 2019‑20. Foster care households with five or more foster children is reported as at 30 June of the given financial year.
5. Re‑assignment of Workforce Development staff to frontline Child Safety Service work as part of the COVID‑19 response resulted in reduced capacity to complete scheduled Quality Appraisals in 2019‑20.
The Strong Families Safe Kids reform represents the Tasmanian Government’s long‑term commitment to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in Tasmania. Investments in the Advice and Referral Line, intensive family engagement and early intervention, a focus on permanency and stability for children and young people in Out of Home Care and cross agency collaboration is delivering improved outcomes for children, young people and their families.
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.
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 People’s activities are available in the Commissioner’s 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 targets for 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 reflect new social housing supply being delivered by community housing providers and the transfer of further stock for management under the Community Housing Growth Program. This is reflected against the whole housing portfolio, including all housing types where the Director of Housing has an interest.
2. This indicator includes applicants housed into public or community housing from the Housing Register. The 2020‑21 actual was influenced by the COVID‑19 pandemic moratorium on rental increases and evictions that reduced turnover in the private sector, leading to fewer exits from public housing. The tight private rental market also contributed to this.
3. 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 targets for 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 reflect trends in actual assistance, as well as recent significant investment in private rental assistance.
4. The targets for 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 have been calculated differently to previous years targets, with the targets now reflecting how Tasmania is performing compared with other jurisdictions. The target is set at 25 per cent below the national average for the proportion of applicants versus size of the housing portfolio. Tasmania is generally performing much better when compared to other jurisdictions. Latest data from 2020‑21 shows that the applicants as a proportion of the housing portfolio in Tasmania was 29.5 per cent, compared to the national average of 50.3 per cent. If Tasmania’s proportion was equivalent to the national average, it would result in more than 7 000 applicants on the Housing Register.
5. As reflected in the 2021‑22 Budget, this performance indicator was amended from only applying to public housing applicants, to applicants housed in all social housing. As such, figures are not comparable to previously reported figures.
6. Figures from previous years have been updated to reflect comparable data based on 2020‑21 dollars.
7. The 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 three years. The 2021‑22 figure fluctuated during the month of June 2021, with a much lower rolling 12 month average of 22.6 days across the year.
The Tasmanian Government’s housing plan is delivering even more homes for Tasmanians in need. Over the next ten years, $1.5 billion will be invested into social and affordable housing and homelessness across the state. This will provide an additional 6 500 homes and units on top of the previous target of 3 500, leading to a total of 10 000 new social houses to be built by 2032. To deliver this unprecedented investment, the Tasmanian Government is establishing a new Housing authority subject to the passage of legislation through Parliament.
Similar to other jurisdictions and across the nation, Tasmania has experienced significant economic growth that has led to increased housing prices and increased demand for social and affordable housing.
In addition to building more social housing, the Tasmanian Government has scaled up other housing assistance programs and introduced initiatives to ease housing market pressure including:
· boosting the First Home Owner Grant;
· investing in comprehensive reviews of Tasmania’s three regional land use strategies;
· investing in a ‘Headworks Holiday’ for new residential subdivisions to unlock new land supply;
· investing additional funding into HomeShare (Housing Market Entry Program) to support low‑income Tasmanians buy their own home; introducing land tax and stamp duty reforms to enable more affordable homes to be developed;
· expanding the Private Rental Incentives Program;
· increasing housing supply with the ancillary dwelling incentive program;
· investigating a build‑to‑rent scheme, safeguards for rent‑to‑buy schemes and working with Councils to open up ‘shop‑top’ accommodation; and
· considering better utilisation of Government‑owned dwellings and social housing stock.
There is also a significant level of building activity occurring in the private market and in new social housing that will assist in easing the demand and affordability pressures being experienced in Tasmania.
Since the commencement of the Affordable Housing Strategy in 2015 and to the end of January 2022, 1 254 new long‑term homes have been built, which includes 1 121 social housing properties and 133 units of supported accommodation, including 276 in the past year. An additional 69 units of homeless accommodation have been completed for Tasmanians who are experiencing or face homelessness. There are currently a further 1 342 long‑term homes and units of homeless accommodation in the pipeline.
Overall, a total of 3 285 households have been assisted into affordable homes. This includes the new supply of affordable lots and homes outlined above, as well as helping households into safe and affordable housing through initiatives like HomeShare, Streets Ahead, Private Rental Incentives and Rapid Rehousing. This information is reported monthly on the Housing Dashboard.
The Community Housing Growth Program continues to be a key tool in growing social housing stock and expanding the role of community housing providers in Tasmania. It builds on and improves Better Housing Futures and has transferred a further 2 000 properties statewide to registered community housing providers. Critically, the CHGP also includes a growth strategy with the release of around $100 million in capital grants to construct social housing that will contribute to Tasmania’s social and economic recovery from the COVID‑19 pandemic. The CHGP is on track to deliver up to 1 000 new social housing units by June 2023.
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. Around 56 per cent of Director of Housing owned properties are now managed by non‑government organisations.
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.
The Tasmanian Government has committed a further $2 million to develop a comprehensive Tasmanian Housing Strategy to drive practical actions to deliver a more sustainable housing market for all Tasmanians. Improving the housing system means investigating potential improvements to the housing market. This will consider demand across both the public and private housing sectors and formulate strategies to deliver sustainable outcomes for Tasmanians. This will provide the strategic direction for additional investment and priorities.
This Output provides services relating to planning, developing and managing family and community support services throughout the State. This includes funding for the Neighbourhood Houses 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.
Tasmania fully transitioned into the National Disability Insurance Scheme on 1 July 2019, with specialist disability supports funded by the NDIS and administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency. The specialist disability supports provided by the NDIS complement mainstream services provided by the Australian and state and territory governments, 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 funding 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;
· children’s 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 Disability Services Act; 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 policy development (and some associated grant programs) such as Accessible Island: Tasmania’s Disability Framework for Action 2018‑2021; Tasmanian Carer Action Plan 2021‑24; Strong, liveable communities: Tasmania’s Active Ageing Plan 2017‑2022; and Tasmania’s 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 Men’s Shed Association.
Executive support is also provided to the Premier’s 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 implements the Government’s Aboriginal affairs policies and programs and administers a range of funding agreements with Tasmanian Aboriginal community‑controlled organisations. Key aspects of this include working with Tasmanian Aboriginal organisations, the Australian Government and other jurisdictions to deliver the Tasmanian Implementation Plan under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.
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 women’s leadership and participation, financial security, safety, and health and wellbeing. Initiatives delivered through this Output include the Tasmanian Women’s Strategy and related action plans, the Women on Boards Strategy and scholarships for women’s leadership development, and an associated grant programs for International Women’s Day.
This Output is delivering 2021‑22 Budget initiatives to increase women’s economic participation, including the development of a Modern Workplaces Framework, a Women in Building and Construction Strategy, a Girls in Property Pilot Program, and the Women’s Workforce Participation initiative, including the inaugural Supporting Women to Succeed Industry Grant Program, to encourage more women into non‑traditional fields of employment. Executive support is also provided to the Tasmanian Women’s Council.
This Output supports and acknowledges the role of Tasmanian veterans and ex‑serving personnel through policy advice, liaison with ex‑service organisations, and delivery of the Teddy Sheean VC Memorial grant program, the Veteran Wellbeing Voucher Program and other commitments.
This Output is responsible for intergovernmental work to progress national initiatives, such as the work of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. It also 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. It also administers a range of funding agreements and grants programs.
Some of the key deliverables include: increasing the capacity and governance capability of sporting organisations; developing and implementing plans to increase participation in safe, fair and inclusive sport and recreation by all Tasmanians; delivering the Ticket to Play and Improving the Playing Field programs; 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 Tasmania’s elite athletes in support of their performances at international events, with a focus on sports that compete at the Olympic or Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championships.

Notes:
1. There are currently 58 contracted providers. The 2019‑20 figure is based on meetings with 59 contracted providers. The 2020‑21 funding agreement meetings were impacted by the COVID‑19 pandemic.
2. The 2020-21 figures published in the 2021-22 Budget were estimated outcomes and have been revised in this Budget to be the final actual outcome.
3. The 2022-23 Target for Active NDIS Participants is an estimated actual.
4. The number of authorised restrictive practices is calculated as the number of unique people with an authorised restrictive practice as a percentage of the total number of active NDIS participants. This activity is a requirement under the Disability Services Act and a commitment under the National Framework for Reducing and Eliminating the Use of Restrictive Practices in the Disability Service Sector.
5. Targets for the Seniors Card Program and Companion Card Program reflect the likely ongoing impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on small businesses in Tasmania.
6. This performance measure is to be reviewed to consider the Reset initiatives and new commitments under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap to better reflect the full range of activities and services being undertaken by the Government. The Government’s commitments under the Agreement have expanded the deliverables across Government departments and are therefore not only the responsibility of the Department of Communities Tasmania.
7. This was a new performance measure in 2021‑22. The Frank MacDonald Memorial Prize is an essay competition for Tasmanian Year 9 students. The Departments of Communities Tasmania and Education jointly deliver the FMMP. In 2021, the competition was open to the 2020 and 2021 Year 9 cohorts as the competition was not held in 2020 due to the COVID‑19 pandemic.
8. This was a new performance measure in 2021‑22. The Teddy Sheean VC Memorial Grants Program is held over two rounds each financial year.
9. Tasmanian athletes were unable to access international level competition during 2020‑21 due to the impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic, and had limited opportunities to access international level competition during 2021‑22 outside of the Olympic/Paralympic Games, which has impacted on these results. Opportunities will increase during 2022‑23 due to the Commonwealth Games being held and the gradual return to the holding of World Championships for many sports.
This Output facilitates the actions being delivered by Government agencies under Tasmania’s Family and Sexual Violence Action Plan 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 and sexual violence; supporting families and individuals affected by family violence and sexual violence; and strengthening the Government’s legal responses to family and sexual violence to hold perpetrators to account for their violent behaviours.
This Output also includes funding for family and sexual violence responses outside of the Action Plan, including additional funds received under the National Partnership Agreement on COVID‑19 Domestic and Family Violence responses.

Notes:
1. These projects are included in the Key Deliverables section of this chapter.
2. These initiatives comprise the Government’s $1.5 billion 10‑year housing package to supply 10 000 new dwellings by 2032.
Funding is allocated to the Community Housing Growth Program over three years, commencing in 2021‑22. This program 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.
This initiative will extend the building program of new social housing. The initiative will build 2 000 new homes by 2027, in addition to the 1 500 to be built by June 2023 from existing programs. This will bring the total to 3 500 new homes by 2027. Funding of $120 million is allocated beyond the Forward Estimates to deliver this initiative.
Funding of $19.7 million is allocated in 2022-23 for Housing Tasmania’s capital program. This includes the balance of funding to 2022-23 made available under the former Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement Debt Waiver Agreement.
Funding is provided for the construction of two new supported accommodation facilities for older Tasmanians in the North and North West of the State. The program will commence in 2023‑24, with expected completion in 2026‑27. Funding of $4 million is allocated beyond the Forward Estimates to complete this project.
Funding is allocated in 2022‑23 to continue the delivery of the second stage of Tasmania’s Affordable Housing Action Plan.
Funding of $3 million is provided in 2022‑23 to complete the $5.2 million investment in new youth housing and homelessness initiatives. The 2021 election commitment provided $4.3 million to deliver modular youth housing for 16 to 24 year‑olds transitioning to independence from a variety of contexts including exiting Ashley Youth Detention Centre, Out of Home Care or shelters. The initiative will provide 20 modular youth homes across four sites around the State. Funding will also be provided for new ‘Youth Coaches’ who will provide ‘readiness for independence’ support across key life domains including education, employment, health and wellbeing and community participation.
Funding of $1 million will provide a ‘Dispersed Youth Foyer’ initiative that will identify 10 Housing Tasmania properties suitable for conversion into three to four‑bedroom share housing properties for young people.

Notes:
1. The decrease in Appropriation revenue ‑ operating primarily reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives and fixed‑term funding.
2. The decrease in Grants in 2022‑23 primarily relates to the completion of 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.
3. The increase in Employee benefits in 2022‑23 primarily reflects funding for initiatives requiring additional staff costs, including Intensive Family Engagement Services, Continuation of Transition to Independence (T2i), Continuation of Investment into the Child Safety Service System, Youth Justice System Reform, and Women and Girls in Sport Strategy. The increase also includes a correction to the Department’s budget allocation between expense categories.
4. The increase in Supplies and consumables in 2022‑23 and decrease in 2023‑24 primarily reflects the additional funding for the Public Housing Initiatives ‑ Energy Efficiency program, which will be completed in 2022‑23.
5. The decrease in Grants and subsidies in 2023‑24 and across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
6. The decrease in Other expenses in 2022‑23 relates to a correction to the Department’s budget allocation between expense categories.

Notes:
1. The decrease in Sport and Recreation in 2022‑23 primarily reflects one‑off grant funding provided for 2021‑22 Budget initiatives, including the Local Community Facilities Fund and Improving the Playing Field. The decrease over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives and one‑off grants.
2. The increase in Aboriginal Affairs in 2022‑23 primarily reflects the additional funding for the Tasmanian Closing the Gap Implementation Plan initiative.
3. The decrease in Women’s Policy in 2022‑23 primarily reflects one‑off funding in 2021‑22 for the Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2018‑2021, partly offset by an increase for the Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2022‑27. The decrease across the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
4. The decrease in Veterans’ Affairs in 2022‑23 primarily reflects one‑off funding in 2021‑22 for the Local Community Facilities Fund. The decrease over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
5. The increase in Community Services in 2022‑23 primarily reflects funding for the 2021‑22 Budget initiative for Neighbourhood Houses Tasmania ‑ Capital Improvement Program. The decrease in 2023‑24 primarily reflects the completion of prior year Budget initiatives.
6. The decrease in Community Development in 2022‑23 primarily reflects additional funding in 2021‑22 for 2021‑22 Budget initiatives. The decrease over the Forward Estimates reflects the completion of 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
7. The increase in Housing Services in 2022‑23 primarily reflects new funding for the Continuation of COVID Housing Support Measures and funding for the 2021‑22 Budget Public Housing Initiatives ‑ Energy Efficiency program.
8. The increase in Children Services in 2022‑23 primarily reflects additional funding for the Response to the Many Colours One Direction Program Review, Continuation of Investment into the Child Safety Service System, Intensive Family Engagement Services and the Transition to Independence (T2i) program. The decrease in Children Services over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the profile of funding for Out of Home Care provided in the 2020‑21 Budget. This is partly offset by funding provided for 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
9. The increase in Office of the Commissioner for Children and Young People in 2022‑3 primarily reflects additional funding for staff to support the Commission of Inquiry and the Ashley Youth Detention Centre transition.

Notes:
1. The decrease in Cash and deposits in 2023 and across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects revised estimates based on 30 June 2021 actuals and updated estimates to reflect increased expenditure in 2022 on major items including the capital program.
2. The variation in this item in 2023 and across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects revised estimates based on 30 June 2021 actuals.
3. The increase in Equity investments primarily reflects the 2021 State of the State commitment for HomeShare ‑ Additional Contribution expenditure over the 2022‑23 Budget and Forward Estimates.
4. The increase in Property, plant and equipment in 2023 and across the Forward Estimates primarily reflects additional capital expenditure related to Housing construction programs, and includes the value of Service Concession Assets. This differs from the presentation in the General Government Sector Balance Sheet, where Service Concession Assets are included in Other non‑financial assets.
5. The variation in Intangibles in 2023 and over the Forward Estimates primarily reflects the timing of expenditure related to the Integrated Client Information Program, funded from the Digital Transformation Priority Expenditure Program and amortisation.
