2 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 1 executive summary Chapter 1 Secretary’s review

seCretary’s messageThis has been a year of significant change for FaHCSIA. Australia’s fifth change of government in 58 years has brought with it new ministers, new functions and new approaches.

Machinery of government changes brought additions to the portfolio of Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program, Disability Support Pension, Indigenous Business Australia and the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency. The key responsibilities and functions relating to early childhood policy, child care policy and programs, and the majority of youth programs and policy functions moved to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

I would like to thank and praise FaHCSIA staff for their professionalism in managing this year of change. A caretaker period always presents a challenge for departments to maintain business whilst preparing for the range of possible outcomes that an election may bring. Throughout the pre and post election environments, which placed high demand on the Department, we excelled in providing high quality support for the incoming Government.

The Government brought a range of important election commitments that have directly impacted on the work of this Department and we have given a high priority to implementing these commitments without delay, at the same time ensuring that we do this work to a very high standard.

During this year we undertook a major planning exercise to help us improve the way we do our business. This led to the development of a new Strategic Framework in which we have revised our purpose, objectives, priorities and values.

Significant efforts have also been made in improving our financial management. We have addressed the majority of our outstanding Australian National Audit Office findings, and the Department has no Category ‘B’ findings, as at 30 June 2008.

yThe Department received awards for our continued commitment to performance reporting, including the Institute of Public Administration Australia’s Gold and Online Awards and a Bronze Award from the Australasian Reporting Awards.

During the last 12 months, significant IT projects were delivered to support the work of the Department, including the development and implementation of the new Electronic Register of Indigenous Corporations for the CATSI Act. We continued to operate and support the Child Care Management System on behalf of DEEWR, which commenced live payments on 4 February 2008 and had transitioned over 1,200 child care services by the end of June 2008.

Evidence is fundamental to our work, and the Government has reinforced the importance of evidence-based policy in the work that it does. As a key source of advice on social policy issues to the Australian Government, FaHCSIA continues to invest in building our evidence base with strategic investments in research, evaluation and data.

In May 2008, I was given the task of leading the comprehensive review of Australia’s pension system, a significant part of the Government’s broader review of Australia’s Future Tax System. This is an opportunity to review the financial security of seniors, carers, and people with disability. With responsibility for the Disability Support Pension joining the Department, we are able to more comprehensively address the system-wide issues facing pensioners. Following the Federal Election, the Department implemented a number of enhancements to a range of payments, further helping people who are disadvantaged due to circumstances beyond their control.

There are a number of other review activities that are taking place across the Government that will influence the Department’s agenda. These reviews include: Program by Program, the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER), CDEP and Discretionary Grants.

Improving outcomes for Indigenous Australians is a high priority for the Government and FaHCSIA has a key role in coordinating and delivering Indigenous-related programs. The implementation of the NTER has further increased our responsibilities in this area and significant progress has been made in securing the safety of children and the future of families in the Northern Territory. The Department is currently moving into the review phase of this process, which will enable us to understand the impact of the NTER and the lessons we can take to future activities.

The 2008–09 Budget introduced a number of measures addressing the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) targets for Closing the Gap in Indigenous disadvantage. These targets have set the framework for significant development across all jurisdictions in Indigenous health, education and employment. With the Department now responsible for the CDEP program, we are able to have a real impact on how Indigenous employment programs can be configured to support the efforts of our other Indigenous programs.

The past year has also seen renewed efforts to combat homelessness and improve housing affordability. In May 2008, we released the Green Paper Which Way Home? A New Approach to Homelessness. This preliminary paper coincided with a series of community consultations from which the Government will establish a national plan of action to 2020, set for release in September 2008. This emphasis on housing is underpinned by recent movements towards a National Affordable Housing Agreement with states and territories.

Indeed, Commonwealth–state relations are a feature of our activities in housing, Indigenous affairs and disability. The Government’s agenda of reform will see new ways of doing business in these areas. The reforms are expected to result in increased flexibility for the use of resources, improved collaborative working arrangements and increased accountability. FaHCSIA has been working intensively to develop these reforms.

The new Government is firmly committed to social inclusion and aspires to create a fair and inclusive society where all Australians have the opportunity to access services, find meaningful employment, connect with others, have their voices heard, and have the capacity to deal effectively with adverse circumstances as they occur throughout their lives. The commitment to social inclusion presents us with opportunities to address entrenched disadvantage and it is informing our activities across a wide range of policy areas.

FaHCSIA’s responsibility for people with disability and carers has driven a number of significant activities, including a review of the effectiveness of Carer Payment (child) in providing a safety net for families of children with profound disability or severe medical condition.

In recent years, child support reform has been a key aspect of the Department’s work. This year, FaHCSIA has been working towards implementing the third phase in the Child Support Scheme reforms to commence on 1 July 2008, building on family law reform to encourage shared parenting and reduction of conflict.

FaHCSIA is also leading the Government’s work in addressing issues around children at risk from child abuse and neglect. We released a discussion paper Australia’s children: safe and well—a national framework for protecting Australia’s children in May that was used as a basis for consultation to develop the National Child Protection Framework. The framework will be presented to COAG at the end of 2008.

The Government’s agenda for reform will continue to demand a high degree of responsiveness from across the public sector. FaHCSIA’s capacity to respond quickly and effectively to major change is underpinned by the quality of our leadership and staff and our genuine commitment to improving the lives of Australians.

Outcome 1—Greater self‑reliance and economic, social and community engagement for Indigenous AustraliansThe delivery of a National Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples by the Prime Minister on 13 February 2008 highlighted the Government’s commitment to reconciliation. Many of FaHCSIA’s responsibilities in Indigenous affairs support this commitment.

The Department’s work in Indigenous affairs is guided by the COAG Closing the Gap targets for reducing Indigenous disadvantage, agreed on in December 2007 and March 2008. The COAG commitments provide the basis for agreement on a strategic direction across jurisdictions, covering areas including health, education, employment and housing.

The Australian Government and state and territory governments are also working together to develop a national framework for reporting expenditure on services to Indigenous Australians.

Within the Government, a number of whole-of-government arrangements and structures have remained in place. At the national level, the Secretaries’ Group on Indigenous Affairs continues its role of leading the whole-of-government work across Commonwealth agencies in the development of policy advice and implementation of programs.

A new model of cooperation between governments has been developed to allow for more effective working arrangements. COAG has established a number of working groups, each chaired by an Australian Government Minister, with senior departmental officials from the states and territories acting as deputies.

Four of these working groups are key to the work on Indigenous affairs:

Indigenous reform ◗

health and ageing ◗

the productivity agenda—including education, skills, training and early childhood ◗

housing. ◗

Closing the GapThe Closing the Gap targets address life expectancy, literacy and numeracy, child mortality, employment, access to early childhood education and high school attainment amongst Indigenous Australians.

In April 2008, the Prime Minister made a commitment to report to Parliament on the first sitting day of each year on progress towards closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Northern Territory Emergency ResponseThe Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER) has made significant progress in 2007–08. Early signs of benefits are being seen in areas such as community safety, income management, child health, education and housing.

The 12 month review of the NTER will help to build on the positive steps of the first year and ensure that it continues to deliver benefits for Indigenous children, families and communities.

Community Development Employment ProjectsFollowing the change of government, the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program became the responsibility of this portfolio. In May 2008, a discussion paper titled Increasing Indigenous Economic Opportunities was released. This was followed by nearly 40 public consultation sessions in urban and regional centres and 18 remote community visits. Consultations were also held with employers, industry and unemployed Indigenous people around the country. The paper outlined the principles of reform for the CDEP program.

Indigenous housing and infrastructureThe review of the Community Housing and Infrastructure Program (CHIP) provided a basis for much needed reform in Indigenous housing throughout 2007–08. In 2008–09, CHIP is being replaced by the Australian Remote Indigenous Accommodation (ARIA) program.

The ARIA program is being used to provide construction, repair and maintenance of housing stock in remote locations across Australia where Indigenous housing need is greatest.

yOutcome 2—Seniors, people with disabilities, carers, youth and women are supported, recognised and encouraged to participate in the communitySeniorsIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA implemented a number of Budget measures to assist senior Australians.

Bonus payments of $500 were made to seniors. The Utilities Allowance was increased to $500 a year (for singles or eligible couples combined) and was extended to recipients of Disability Support Pension, Carer Payment and a range of other payments.

The Seniors Concession Allowance was increased to $500, while the Telephone Allowance was also increased to $132 a year (for singles or eligible couples combined) for seniors, carers and people with disability receiving income support who have a home internet connection.

FaHCSIA implemented the halving of the pension assets test taper, as part of the Better Superannuation reforms, and a number of other changes to help seniors, including enhancements to the Pension Bonus Scheme.

People with disabilityIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA undertook a range of activities to assist people with disability and their carers. These activities aimed to enhance support options, as well as provide opportunities for people with disability to find employment and increase their participation in society.

Activities included providing capital funding for supported accommodation, establishing the Disability Investment Group, increasing employment opportunities, hosting the National Disability Awards, and assisting in developing the National Mental Health and Disability Employment Strategy.

FaHCSIA also successfully negotiated for state and territory governments to provide $901 million in additional funding for disability services on top of the Government’s $901 million in funding under the Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement for accommodation, respite and in-home care. In total, the $1.8 billion in funding will deliver over 24,800 new places in disability services.

FaHCSIA is enabling increased access to appropriate services for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families. From July 2008, FaHCSIA will implement a number of initiatives under the Helping Children with Autism package across the nation. These will relate to education and support for families and carers and increased access to early intervention programs for children aged zero to six.

CarersIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA implemented the Government’s income support changes to further assist carers.

On 7 February 2008, the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin, released the Carer Payment (child) Review Taskforce’s report titled Carer Payment (child): A New Approach. This report examined the effectiveness of support to carers of children with a severe disability or medical condition.

Lump-sum bonus payments were provided to eligible carers who receive Carer Payment or Carer Allowance, a Health Care Card to ex-Carer Allowance (child) students aged 16–25 years, and an annual Child Disability Assistance Payment of $1,000 to recipients of Carer Allowance who are caring for a child with disability under the age of 16.

Mental healthFaHCSIA’s mental health initiatives, under the COAG National Action Plan on Mental Health 2006–11, include the Personal Helpers and Mentors Program, the Mental Health Respite Program and the Mental Health Community Based Program. In 2007–08, the first phases of these initiatives were successfully implemented by the Department.

Considerable progress has been made with other portfolios and jurisdictions in the improved integration of services, treatment and community support programs. The programs enhance family and community resilience, increase the level of social inclusion for individuals, and link people with the range of assistance they require, including housing and drug and alcohol services.

WomenFaHCSIA continues to coordinate the Government’s responsibilities on issues affecting women. A National Council was established to oversee the development of a National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children. A draft plan will be delivered in December 2008.

In February 2008, the Government asked the Productivity Commission to examine models to improve support for parents with new born children. A key focus of the inquiry is on examining the provision of paid maternity, paternity and parental leave. The Productivity Commission’s final report, due in February next year, will address the cost effectiveness of options and impacts on families and business and interactions with the social security and tax systems.

During 2007–08, the Department contributed to addressing the issues faced by women through a number of activities. These included preparing Australia’s report on the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all forms of

yDiscrimination Against Women, representing Australia at the APEC Women Leaders’ Network and Gender Focal Point Network meetings in May 2008, and leading the Australian Government’s delegation to the annual meeting of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Outcome 3—Families and children have choices and opportunitiesFamilies and childrenIn May 2008, the Minister launched the discussion paper, Australia’s children: safe and well—a national framework for protecting Australia’s children, signalling the Government’s commitment to addressing the circumstances that put children at risk. Through COAG, the National Child Protection Framework is being developed. This is an ongoing endeavour for the Department, drawing on expertise across jurisdictions and in the non-government sector.

During 2007–08, funding was provided in the Budget for a range of measures to ensure that payments such as Family Tax Benefit Part B and the Baby Bonus will be better targeted to the families who need them most. These payments will no longer be available to families who have annual incomes in excess of $150,000. Adoptive families will have greater access to the Baby Bonus and to the Maternity Immunisation Allowance, which will be paid in two instalments to encourage parents to immunise their children before they start school. Further efforts will be made to reduce Family Tax Benefit debts by adjusting payments through the year if families notify of increases in income, and by precluding families from receiving fortnightly instalments of Family Tax Benefit if they do not confirm their actual income within 18 months of the end of financial year. Administration of Family Tax Benefit will be streamlined by no longer delivering payments through the Australian Taxation Office.

Outcome 4—Strong and resilient communitiesHousingHousing affordability and homelessness were prominent issues impacting on the work of the Department over the past year. A number of significant activities commenced in 2007–08, aimed at resolving both short-term pressures and long-term supply and affordability issues.

In May 2008, FaHCSIA released the homelessness Green Paper, Which Way Home—A New Approach to Homelessness and commenced a series of community consultations with a view to producing a White Paper for release in September.

FaHCSIA has been fully engaged in the process established by COAG to develop a new model of cooperative Commonwealth–state arrangements. COAG established a Housing Working Group with key priorities to implement five important housing initiatives and develop a new National Affordable Housing Agreement. FaHCSIA has prime responsibility for managing the work of this group and driving the critical discussions with states and territories needed to progress the COAG reform agenda.

Community support and recoveryIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA helped strengthen disadvantaged communities by providing funding support projects that build community capacity and help families and communities to develop self-reliance. Assistance was also provided to community organisations through Volunteer Small Equipment Grants funding for the purchase of equipment to support their volunteers.

The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment is an essential part of the Government’s ability to respond to disasters and critical events and meet need where it is acutely felt. Over the past year, the payment has provided timely and essential assistance to more than 40,000 people adversely affected by storms and floods in NSW and Queensland. Significant wage supplements have also been paid to over 6,000 workers in the equine industry impacted by the outbreak of equine influenza.

yFinanCial perFormanCe overviewThis section provides a summary of the Department’s financial performance for 2007–08. Departmental and administered results are shown in the audited financial statements in Part 5 of this report. The resource summary of the price of outputs and administered programs can be found under each outcome in Part 2 of this report.

The Department made excellent progress during the year in addressing outstanding recommendations from the ANAO. The Department has addressed the majority of these recommendations and is committed to addressing the remaining recommendations in a timely manner. It is particularly noteworthy that the Department has zero B findings as at 30 June 2008, following ANAO’s audit of the financial statements.

Changes in administrative arrangementsUnder the Administrative Arrangements Order (AAO) of 3 December 2007, the Department assumed responsibility for the Community Development Employment Projects Program and Disability Support Pension from the former Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. Indigenous Business Australia also transferred to the portfolio.

Under the revised AAO of 25 January 2008, the Department relinquished responsibility for child care and youth engagement programs which transferred to the new Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

In addition, responsibility for Family Impact Statements moved to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

These changes have resulted in movements of both departmental and administered assets and liabilities between departments. These movements are disclosed in the financial statements.

Operating resultsDepartmentalFaHCSIA had an operating deficit of $9.8 million in 2007–08 ($5.4m deficit in 2006–07). This deficit reflects a reduction in the departmental appropriation relating to the Northern Territory Emergency Response; the outcome of machinery of government changes and changes to measures following the change in government.

Figure 1.3 Departmental assets and liabilities

Total assetsTotal assets at 30 June 2008 were $338.2 million (2007: $298.3 million). Non-financial assets increased by $55.5 million, due to acquisition of new office space for the Department together with staff accommodation and other infrastructure relating to the NTER.

Total liabilitiesTotal liabilities at 30 June 2008 were $142.4 million (2007: $127.0 million). The increase in liabilities of $15.4 million is primarily associated with increased payables to suppliers, reflecting the particularly intensive nature of implementing the NTER.

AdministeredTotal assets at 30 June 2008 were $4,105.9 million (2007: $3,175.9 million). This increase of $930.0 million is due to the recognition of a new administered investment in Indigenous Business Australia as part of the AAO changes, together with an increase in personal benefits receivables.

Total liabilities at 30 June 2008 were $4,255.0 million (2007: $4,190.7 million). This increase of $64.3 million reflects the increase in the provision for personal benefits payments, offset by a reduction in the payables for programs that transferred from FaHCSIA under the AAO.

19Chapter 2 Operating environment Part 1 executive summary FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

introduCtionFaHCSIA’s operating environment is complex and is influenced by a range of factors, including social and economic trends, family formation and stability, and population growth. Alongside its social policy advising role, FaHCSIA seeks to improve client outcomes through three principal activities—payments to individuals, funding and provision of services, and transfers to state and territory governments for the delivery of services.

There has been significant structural change in the economy over recent years and while there are higher real incomes and strong employment growth, much of this growth has been in part-time and casual employment. Earnings inequality has increased, reflecting the increased demand for an educated and skilled labour force at the expense of low-skilled occupations.

There have also been significant changes in the demographic characteristics of the Australian population. Family formation is occurring later, with mothers now giving birth to a first child at the historically high median age of 30.8 years. Household sizes continue to decrease, while the proportion of lone-parent families has stabilised at around 21 per cent following increases over recent decades.

indigenous australiansSignificant structural and systemic problems have given rise to a large gap in living standards, life expectancy, education attainment, health outcomes and employment opportunities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Operating environment

20 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 1 executive summary Chapter 2 Operating environment

Around three quarters of Indigenous Australians live in urban and regional areas, but for this proportion a number of the indicators of Indigenous wellbeing such as poverty, employment rates and health disadvantage are not significantly different compared with those in remote Australia.

Remote areas have low levels of literacy and numeracy and preventable diseases are common. Alcohol and other substance abuse, violence and anti-social behaviour are common in many communities in northern and central Australia.

To be able to meet the diverse range of needs of Indigenous Australians, both targeted and universally available programs, payments and services are necessary. The economic and cultural environment presents challenges to the effective delivery of government services. Both targeted actions and the use of mainstream and universally available services, including payments and service delivery, across all government portfolios must therefore be brought to bear.

Indigenous individuals and communities in regional and remote areas also face the same challenges which confront the wider community in areas such as climate change, drought and economic decline.

seniorsFaHCSIA’s primary assistance to senior Australians is through the Age Pension, which is the single largest outlay by the Department. FaHCSIA also provides significant assistance to seniors who do not receive the Age Pension.

The Australian population is ageing and the number of people accessing the Age Pension is growing. The age pension population has grown by around 20 per cent in the last decade. This growth has also been driven by policy changes. For example, the halving of the assets test taper from September 2007 has contributed to increased diversity amongst age pensioners, including in the range of their private income and assets. The average income and assets of recent age pension entrants is substantially higher than those of the age pension group as a whole. This in part results from the increasing maturity of the superannuation system.

The Senate committee report on the cost of living pressures on older Australians identified groups who may be facing particular challenges, including single pensioners who rent, and people who were unable to significantly benefit from superannuation. The focus on adequacy, combined with the growing and increasingly diverse age pension population, poses challenges for policy design.

yAs part of its inquiry into Australia’s Future Tax System, the Government has committed to an investigation into measures which will strengthen the financial security of seniors, carers and people with disability. These measures include a review of the Age Pension, Carer Payment and Disability Support Pension.

The Pension Review, due for completion by the end of February 2009, will investigate the appropriate levels of income support and allowances, the frequency of payments and the structure and payment of concessions or other entitlements. The report on the review, to be concluded by the end of 2009, will inform the broader inquiry into Australia’s Future Tax System.

disability and CarersThe Department devotes significant effort to meeting the needs of people with disability and their carers. With the changes to the machinery of government during 2007–08, FaHCSIA gained responsibility for the Disability Support Pension. Expenditure on that measure was $9.37 billion for 2007–08. The Department also provides funding to community organisations and to the state and territory governments, for the provision of services that meet the wide range of needs of clients in this area.

There are a number of overarching issues that will contribute to the way the Department is able to deliver its payments and programs into the future for people with disability and carers. The impact of an ageing population, leading to an increased proportion of people with disability, has implications for both the provision of disability services and the adequate supply of carers.

Another challenge is to ensure that the design of disability services responds to changes affecting people with disability, such as onset and transition in care needs, to ensure that client outcomes can be optimised.

The Government’s $293.6 million 2008–09 Budget package for carers of children with disability responds to the Carer Payment (child): A New Approach report released on 7 February 2008.

The report highlighted inadequacies in access to Carer Payment (child) and revealed a number of challenges arising from the wider operating environment that impact on carers:

interactions between the health profession, community services and income ◗

support systems

the impact of the caring role on carers and their families ◗

the level of care required, being well beyond that of a usual parenting role ◗

and assistance

different care arrangements, such as shared care, short-term and episodic care, and ◗

multiple caring responsibilities

the financial costs of disability and the costs of caring ◗

difficulty in combining caring and workforce participation. ◗

mental healthThe COAG National Action Plan on Mental Health 2006–11 has set the framework in which FaHCSIA is designing and progressing its mental health policies and programs.

Mental health is an issue that crosses jurisdictional and portfolio boundaries, and activities have historically been in the clinical and health-related sphere. More can be done through integration of services, treatment and community support programs across both the health and community services sector and across jurisdictional boundaries.

Challenges still remain around how best to manage the linkages between mental health and other social policy areas, including drug and alcohol services and the provision of education, skills development and employment services. Also of importance is stable and appropriate housing, with support services that allow greater participation and stabilisation and enhanced community acceptance, as a long-term means to ensuring better outcomes for clients.

ChildrenFaHCSIA’s child focus changed during 2007–08 with the transfer of the child care function to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. The Department has retained responsibility for assisting children at risk, and has renewed this policy focus to recognise the cost to society of child neglect, abuse, and general disadvantage.

Following the launch of the discussion paper, Australia’s children: safe and well—a national framework for protecting Australia’s children, FaHCSIA is working with states and territories to establish the National Child Protection Framework. The Department is also working with states and territories to explore opportunities that could improve information sharing about children at risk.

yFamiliesStrong families play a vital role in the development and protection of children and in creating and sustaining the human capital needed for a strong economy. FaHCSIA provides a variety of payments, programs and policies to support families in balancing their work and caring responsibilities and in promoting healthy family relationships. A child-centred approach to policy aims to ensure that programs promote the best interests of children and help to protect them from abuse and neglect.

A major priority for FaHCSIA is providing support for families that encourages workforce participation and social inclusion and helps families to meet their diverse caring responsibilities. It is also vital for parents to have support in caring for their children, particularly in the early years of development. This will help children to have the best possible start to life.

FaHCSIA works to ensure family assistance is well targeted and cost effective in assisting families with the expenses of raising children. In 2007–08, FaHCSIA spent approximately $15 billion on payments to families, the majority of this being on Family Tax Benefit. This figure excludes Family Tax Benefit expenditure through the Australian Taxation Office.

In 2007–08, around 80 per cent of families with children under 16 received Family Tax Benefit and almost 30 per cent also received income support.

womenFaHCSIA works towards increasing opportunities for women to participate fully in the economic, social and cultural activities of Australian society.

Increasing the labour market participation of women is vital to the strength of the Australian economy. However, as at February 2008 the gender pay gap in average weekly wages among full-time employees was 15.7 per cent.

In May 2008, women’s labour force participation was 58.4 per cent compared with 72.4 per cent for men. Forty-five per cent of employed women are in part-time work and women comprise 70.9 per cent of all part-time employees.

Interrupted work patterns due to caring responsibilities, coupled with lower rates of pay, result in many women not achieving financial independence in retirement. Women’s superannuation balances are lower than men’s at most ages, and the gap begins to widen significantly around the age of 35.

Violence against women continues to be a challenge for society. Around one in three Australian women experience physical violence and almost one in five experience sexual violence during their lifetime. Indigenous women are more likely to be a victim of family violence than any other category of Australian women.

housingHousing affordability is a key social and economic challenge facing Australian society. The Government has identified the supply of affordable housing as a major challenge that influences the capacity for a significant segment of Australian society to be able to live securely in the longer-term. It is also recognised that resolving housing supply issues, and the resulting housing affordability problems, will rely on a range of interventions including those outside the FaHCSIA portfolio.

Over the last decade, the average cost of buying a home has nearly doubled and average rents for three-bedroom homes have risen by 82 per cent. Rental vacancy rates have halved since 2004. This shortage in housing supply has driven both home purchase and rental costs to levels that are unaffordable for many Australians. While Australian Government Rent Assistance payments go part of the way to helping disadvantaged tenants in meeting housing costs, the need to deal more comprehensively with supply-side issues is becoming paramount.

The establishment of the National Housing Supply Council will go some way towards understanding the complex nature of this problem and identifying possible solutions. FaHCSIA has a range of measures aimed at improving support services for people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, and for increasing the supply of affordable housing.

Around 100,000 people in Australia are homeless on any given night, with half of these under the age of 24. The causes and effects of homelessness are complex and can be exacerbated by a range of other issues, including low levels of education and employment, mental health and disability issues, drug and alcohol dependence, welfare dependence and criminalisation.

The effects of homelessness can be debilitating and unless the potentially multiple causes can be dealt with in a coordinated fashion, the problems can become unmanageable for the individual. As a consequence, the impact of homelessness on individuals, families and the community are invariably significant.

ysoCial justiCe and equity impaCt in the australian CommunityA key focus for FaHCSIA is the furthering of social justice and equity in the Australian community.

FaHCSIA’s programs and activities focus on improving the lives of Australians by building personal, family and community capacity and wellbeing. Across the areas of Indigenous Australians, seniors, disability and carers, mental health, children, families, women, and housing, the Department seeks to maximise economic and social participation, focuses on early intervention as a strategy to assist individuals, families and communities and assists those who are most disadvantaged. Coupled with a focus on social inclusion, these policies and programs serve to enhance social justice and equity in Australia.

The Department’s activities seek to: give children a good start in life; assist people with disability to achieve greater independence and self-reliance; and address entrenched Indigenous disadvantage. The Office for Women works to achieve more equitable outcomes for women.

FaHCSIA’s Reconciliation Action Plan was launched in May 2007. Its implementation and renewal throughout 2007–08 gave effect to a longstanding, growing and ongoing commitment to reconciliation by the Department. The plan goes hand-in-hand with the Department’s efforts to close the gap on Indigenous disadvantage.

Dr Jeff Harmer, SecretaryJeff Harmer was appointed Secretary of the Department of Family and Community Services in October 2004. Following the election in November 2007 and subsequent to machinery of government changes, the Department was renamed the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). He was previously Secretary of the Department of Education, Science and Training, and before that Managing Director of the Health Insurance Commission

(now Medicare Australia). He has held a range of high-level policy advising positions in the Australian Government.

As Secretary, Jeff is responsible for the administration and the corporate and strategic directions of the Department and portfolio. He provides senior policy counsel on major and sensitive policy issues to the portfolio Ministers and Parliamentary Secretary.

Jeff represents the Department in a variety of government, industry and business sector forums. Through these, he develops and maintains high-level relationships with the

Executive Management Group

Department’s key stakeholders. Jeff sits on the boards of the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth, and the Melbourne Institute Advisory Board. He is also a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management and the Institute of Public Administration Australia.

Jeff Harmer’s review of 2007–08 can be found on page 2 of this report.

Glenys Beauchamp, Deputy SecretaryGlenys Beauchamp was appointed Deputy Secretary in FaHCSIA in January 2006. In addition to assisting the Secretary with the directions and outcomes for the Department, she has responsibility for outcomes covering families, including child support reforms and welfare payments reform; women; early childhood; disability and carer issues; mental health and community programs.

Glenys commenced in FaHCSIA at the end of 2002, after holding a number of Senior Executive positions in the ACT Public Service. Since that time, she has oversighted a number of functions in the Department. She is also a member of the Australian Institute of Family Studies Advisory Board and the Australian Statistics Advisory Committee.

‘The 2007–08 financial year was a time of substantial change and reform for the Department. The year began with the Department taking the lead on the Northern Territory Emergency Response and with most areas in the Department providing input into implementing the response. After the Federal Election in November 2007, the change of government required us to move quickly to implement the Government’s key election commitments, and focus on major areas of reform, such as Commonwealth–state relations, the social inclusion agenda and a range of other key policy themes.

‘There has not been much time for reflection for many of us over the past 12 months, but the Department can be very proud of its achievements and this is a great complement to all staff who have risen to the challenge.’

Geoff Leeper, Deputy SecretaryGeoff Leeper joined the Department as Deputy Secretary in January 2007. Prior to that time, he was Deputy Secretary in the Department of Human Services (2005–07), and Deputy Chief Executive Officer in Medicare Australia (2001–05).

Geoff assists the Secretary in managing the Department, with special focus on Housing, the Indigenous Remote Services Delivery, and Legal

and Compliance Groups. He is the Chair of the Risk Assessment and Audit Committee and is the Commonwealth Director on the Board of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute.

y‘A key focus for the Department in 2007–08 was working with the incoming Government to ensure that the Department positioned itself quickly to provide the support needed for its two new Ministers. This required significant briefing and coordination across the Department and has also presented some challenges, such as keeping up with the significant increases in the levels of ministerial correspondence.

‘The Department has also worked hard to support the arrangements set out by COAG. Both the Housing Group and the Indigenous Remote Services Delivery Group have been heavily involved in the first six months of 2008 through the COAG Housing Working Group to implement the new Government’s election commitments and to develop a new National Affordable Housing Agreement.

‘In the risk and audit area our Audit Committee has continued its excellent work in providing assurance to the Secretary around financial management and compliance controls and during the course of the financial year further significant and welcome progress was made in remediating Category B and Category C findings from the Australian National Audit Office.

‘The Department’s staff at all levels have responded magnificently to the challenges and pressures that arose during the financial year and I am very grateful to the staff in my groups for their committed, dedicated and professional service throughout the financial year.’

Bernie Yates, Deputy SecretaryBernie Yates has been Deputy Secretary in the Department since January 2006 following the integration of the Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination into FaHCSIA. Bernie assists the Secretary with managing whole-of-government policy development in Indigenous affairs, and also carries responsibility for the Department’s network of over 30 offices around urban, regional and remote Australia.

‘This year has been incredibly significant for Indigenous affairs. The Northern Territory Emergency Response was a major focus from mid-2007 and has involved a very different way of working across agencies and with Indigenous communities, including having Government Business Managers living in communities. An independent review at the 12-month point is now underway.

‘The transition to the new Government in late 2007 saw some significant shifts in policy focus. The Department took a lead role in arranging the first ever Welcome to Country at the opening of the new Parliament, and provided support for events surrounding the historic motion of Apology led by the Prime Minister and passed by the Parliament in February. The Closing the Gap on Indigenous disadvantage strategy has been a key policy focus, extended by the support provided by COAG in December 2007 and the establishment of a COAG Working Group on Indigenous Reform chaired by Minister Macklin.

‘The Department has played a major role in assisting the development of the Closing the Gap strategy and a range of reform proposals through the working group for consideration by COAG during 2008, including on: Indigenous early childhood development; remote service delivery; economic participation; and community safety. These are aimed at progressing the six targets agreed as critical to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage, including closing the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a generation.’

Robyn McKay, Acting Deputy SecretaryRobyn McKay joined the Department of Family and Community Services in early 1999 as Group Manager, Families and Children. From 2002–05, she was Minister-Counsellor, Social Policy, at the Australian Delegation to the OECD in Paris. She also led the Social Policy Group in FaHCSIA in 2006, prior to taking up her current role.

Robyn has had a long career in social policy, spanning employment programs, industrial relations and wages policy, higher education policy and program administration, health, families and income support policy and programs, and commercialisation and privatisation policy. Prior to joining FaHCSIA, she worked in senior executive positions in the Departments of Employment, Education and Training (1989–95) and Finance and Administration (1995–98), where she also led the Accrual Budgeting Project.

Robyn assists the Secretary in managing the Department and has particular responsibility for strategic policy, the Age Pension, social security relationships and compliance, research and international engagement, as well as the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, the Pensions Review Taskforce and the Community Programs Taskforce. She is chair of the Research and Evaluation Committee and jointly chairs the Budget Policy Committee with Bruce Hunter. She chaired the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Committee in 2007–08 and is the FaHCSIA representative on the Board of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

‘The last year has been one of major change, with a new focus on cross-cutting policy development, reflected in considerable review activity. We have been able to draw on our strong research base and investment in longitudinal data to make major contributions to work on social inclusion and income support.’

‘As CFO, I am proud of FaHCSIA’s significant improvements in financial management. With my additional responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer, I am looking at ways to better integrate our corporate, finance and IT areas to ensure FaHCSIA is well positioned to meet future challenges.’

introduCtion—FahCsia’s ongoing Commitment to perFormanCe reportingIn FaHCSIA’s 2006–07 Annual Report, the Department outlined its commitment to continuous improvement in annual reporting.

We have continued to focus on reporting against the indicators that are stated at output level in the Department’s Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS). This level of reporting allows for increased transparency and allows clear links between the performance targets set in the PBS and the Department’s performance outcomes and achievements.

FaHCSIA was recognised for its improvement and strong commitment to transparent reporting by the Institute of Public Administration Australia, who awarded the Department with the FMA Agency Gold Award for the FaCSIA 2006–07 Annual Report and the Online Annual Report Award. The Department also received a Bronze Award from the Australasian Reporting Awards—in the General Award category for the same report.

To further formalise our commitment to performance reporting, in January 2008 the Department aligned the business areas responsible for delivering the Portfolio Budget Statements and the Annual Report into one team. This realignment has ensured a consistent approach for both Budget and reporting documents and processes.

The Portfolio Budget Statements quality assurance processes were strengthened for 2008–09. With this new structure in place, closer alignment should be evident in FaHCSIA’s 2008–09 Annual Report.

outCome and output struCtureOnly minor changes were made to FaHCSIA’s outcome and output structure during this financial year (in May 2008) in order to reflect the Administrative Arrangements Order changes detailed on page 11.

The former Output Group 2.4 ‘Support for youth’ has been changed to ‘Addressing youth homelessness’, which reflects the movement of the Youth Bureau to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and FaHCSIA’s continued role in addressing youth homelessness. The former Output Group 3.3 ‘Child care support’ has also moved to DEEWR, into the new Office of Early Childhood Education and Child Care.

perFormanCe indiCators measuring our departmental perFormanCeIn May 2008, FaHCSIA commenced a process to review a number of our departmental performance indicators to ensure that they give an accurate and transparent cross-section of the Department’s performance.

Our review found that our existing suite of departmental indicators required further development to reflect our performance adequately.

From the 2008–09 financial year onwards, we will be developing new indicators that measure the impact of what we deliver. In future years, we will also be looking at ways to more effectively measure longer term trends and at developing our evidence base. This improved reporting will further increase transparency and better enable us to address qualitative aspects of our performance.

This work will be done in the context of the Government’s broader Operation Sunlight agenda being progressed with the Department of Finance and Deregulation.

As a result of this work, complete data is no longer captured for some indicators against output funding for policy services and program management and for service delivery.

casE study—tHE national aPology to tHE stolEn gEnErations

On 13 February 2008, the Prime Minister, the Hon. Kevin Rudd, MP, introduced the historic Motion of Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples. The National Apology was a major step forward in Australia’s journey of reconciliation. The motion of Apology by the Parliament apologises for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments, which forcibly separated Indigenous children from their families and communities.

FaHCSIA was instrumental in organising transport and accommodation for 130 members of the Stolen Generations, 24 carers and 10 counsellors to Canberra for the Apology. Over 300 members of the Stolen Generations and other VIPs witnessed this historic occasion from the galleries of the Parliament.

In the remote NT Community of Ngukurr, over 200 community members gathered to view the Apology. Chandra Sharma, FaHCSIA’s Government Business Manager for Ngukurr, assisted the Principal of the Community Education Centre, Ric Eade, to hold the event at the centre.

FaHCSIA staff took part in commemorating the National Apology, with over 200 National Office staff attending the viewing of the live broadcast at Centraplaza in Canberra. Staff in state offices and Indigenous Coordination Centres also attended viewings of the Apology.

outCome 1 perFormanCe reportPlacing Indigenous policy and services under Outcome 1 reflects the priority and commitment of the Department to addressing Indigenous disadvantage.

The Department contributes to Outcome 1 through working at the whole-of-government leadership and participant levels and through Indigenous-specific and mainstream policy development, programs and services.

The major achievements contributing to Outcome 1 are summarised below.

Major achievements for 2007–08Reconciliation—Welcome to Country—ApologyThe Department took a lead role in organising and implementing the successful Welcome to Country at the opening of the 42nd Parliament, on 12 February 2008. In a first for Federal Parliament, Aboriginal elder Matilda House gave the Welcome to Country, extending an invitation for the Parliament to hold its sessions on the land of the Ngunnawal and Walgalu peoples.

The Department also had a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the proceedings and celebrations around the historic Motion of Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples, which was introduced by the Prime Minister, the Hon. Kevin Rudd, MP, on 13 February 2008 and supported unanimously by the House of Representatives.

Closing the GapIn 2007–08, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) committed to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage by agreeing to the following targets:

closing the gap in life expectancy within a generation ◗

halving the gap in reading, writing and numeracy within a decade ◗

halving the gap in child mortality of Indigenous children under five within a decade ◗

halving the gap in employment outcomes within a decade ◗

all four-year-olds in remote communities having access to early childhood education ◗

within five years

halving the gap in Indigenous attainment of Year 12 education (or equivalent level) ◗

by 2020.

Together with a number of other government departments and state and territory governments, FaHCSIA is progressing work on a policy framework for achieving the COAG targets.

Chapter 5 Outcome 1 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

As part of its commitment to halving the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade, the Government announced that it would reform the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program.

The CDEP program aims to assist unemployed Indigenous Australians to develop skills and improve their work readiness to help them move into employment outside of the CDEP program and to meet community needs. The overall aim is to support Indigenous Australians to achieve economic independence.

The Government released a discussion paper entitled Increasing Indigenous Economic Opportunity in May 2008 that outlined principles for reform and sought feedback and ideas for program reforms. Almost 70 public and targeted consultation sessions were held following the release of the paper and more than 120 submissions were received.

Northern Territory Emergency ResponseOn 21 June 2007, the former Australian Government announced the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER). The NTER is a whole-of-government initiative involving a range of Australian Government and Northern Territory agencies. FaHCSIA coordinates the NTER as the lead Australian Government agency for Indigenous affairs.

The NTER will be comprehended as part of the Government’s wider strategy to close the gap in life expectancy, education, health and employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

The measures introduced in the Northern Territory aim to protect Indigenous children from abuse and build the foundation for stronger communities and families. They represent a major commitment of government resources and on-the-ground effort to address the chronic problems that have led to poor outcomes for people living in the communities and town camps of the Northern Territory.

In the first year of the NTER, there are signs of changes in communities and positive benefits for children and families as follows:

With an increased police presence and night patrols in communities, people are reporting ◗

greater community safety.

The introduction of a school nutrition program is improving child concentration and ◗

engagement in education.

Licensed community stores are reporting increased sales of food, including fresh food, ◗

which should support better community health in the medium/long term.

Over 11,000 child health checks have been carried out. Follow-up medical care is being ◗

provided in Darwin, Alice Springs and Katherine.

Over 1,300 CDEP program positions occupied by Aboriginal people have been formally ◗

recognised as government service delivery jobs for the first time.

Chapter 5 Outcome 1 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

nortHErn tErritory EmErgEncy rEsPonsE at a glancE—kEy mEasurEs

There are seven key measures under the NTER:

coordination ◗

welfare reform and employment ◗

promoting law and order ◗

supporting families ◗

housing and land reform ◗

enhancing education ◗

improving child and family health. ◗

FaHCSIA is the lead agency for the NTER and is responsible for the NTER Operations Centre, which was established to coordinate and implement NTER measures. FaHCSIA also has an overarching role in the coordination of policy development, the implementation of five of the seven key measures, and ensuring timely reporting on the NTER across all government agencies.

The two key measures not managed within the FaHCSIA portfolio are enhancing education and improving child and family health. These are primarily the responsibility of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the Department of Health and Ageing respectively.

NTER ReviewOn 6 June 2008, the Government commissioned an independent review of the NTER. The review will assess which aspects of the NTER are working, whether the measures are effective, their impact to date on individuals and communities, and what may need to be changed.

The NTER Review Board has been established to conduct an independent and transparent review of the NTER. An independent expert group will support the review board. The group is comprised of experts drawn from public policy, health, child welfare, legal and economic development fields. The board will consult widely and seek public submissions. They will provide the final report to the Government on 30 September 2008.

Community engagementThe Indigenous Leadership and Engagement Group delivered a community engagement approach as part of the NTER, resulting in engagement and support for development, with 300 Indigenous people from 73 identified communities. This involved the delivery of engagement workshops to leaders drawn from each of the communities targeted under the NTER. Workshops were designed to provide participants with the opportunity to consider and workshop each of the NTER measures, as well as receive leadership development training to support their leadership roles in their communities.

The first phase (July–December 2007) targeted past and present participants from FaHCSIA’s Indigenous Leadership Program and included regional workshops with the chairpersons and/or members of local community councils, as well as key leaders in the targeted communities. The second phase focused on established and emerging leaders from clusters of communities within each of the proposed new Northern Territory Local Government Shires and included an additional focus on personal and community leadership.

Community stores licensingAs part of the NTER, the licensing of community stores was introduced to coincide with the decision to manage certain Centrelink income support payments to residents of prescribed communities. To ensure that income management funds could be used to encourage families to adopt a healthier lifestyle, there was a need to assess the operation of stores and license those stores which met appropriate quality standards.

The licensing initiative has evolved and grown considerably. Income Management Officers were introduced to help stores with the implementation of new processes and procedures required to administer and account for income managed funds. System upgrades were provided in many stores to allow income management funds to be reliably and more easily administered.

The overall impact of income management has been positive. Many stores have reported an increase in turnover, which has enabled them to provide customers with fresher produce and a wider range of goods. Customers are purchasing more food, including healthy food, and more money is being spent on the needs of children.

Community safetyWith an increased police presence and night patrols in communities, people are reporting greater community safety. Since the NTER was announced in June 2007, 51 additional police have been deployed to communities. As at June 2008, there are 33 Australian Federal Police and interstate police and 18 Northern Territory police. There is a new police presence in 18 remote Indigenous communities.

community dEvEloPmEnt EmPloymEnt ProjEcts—scotdEsco farm

The Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program provides funding for Indigenous community organisations to deliver participation opportunities for unemployed Indigenous people. Each project is tailored to the local community’s needs and provides activities for unemployed Indigenous people to develop their skills and improve their work readiness.

On a remote farm called Scotdesco, 100 kilometres west of Ceduna, three Indigenous women are undertaking leadership roles in their community, supported by the Ceduna Indigenous Coordination Centre and funded through the CDEP program. The women are leading projects that will build life skills in their community and increase their community’s available resources.

One team’s work involves cooking twice a week for the community, establishing a community lunch program and purchasing suitable equipment for the kitchen. The team are obtaining quotes on gardening tools and are looking into the harvesting of bush foods to complement horticultural activities.

One of the women is working with Indigenous youth to organise activities such as kayaking for young people with disability. She has also been closely involved with preparations for National Youth Week.

Family-based activities are also in place and the women will be taking children and young people on school holiday camps, as well as providing after-school activities incorporating fitness and health.

PermitsAs part of the original NTER package of legislation, changes were made to the permit system to allow the public to enter major communities on Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory without a permit.

In the 2007 election campaign, the Government announced that it would restore the permit system for communities. On 21 February 2008, the Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Other Legislation Amendment (Emergency Response Consolidation) Bill 2008 was introduced to Parliament. The Bill includes provisions to restore the permit system. The access granted under the revised permit system to government employees is being retained. A ministerial authorisation will ensure access for journalists to communities.

Strategic interventionsOn 10 October 2007, the Government signed a performance-based funding agreement with the Western Australian Government. The agreement focuses on increasing home ownership opportunities, by increasing and enhancing infrastructure in the areas of housing management and land tenure.

The agreement incorporates funding for 10 site-based projects in remote Western Australia, with a particular focus on the East Kimberley region. FaHCSIA will administer a total of $51.4 million in funding over the life of the agreement.

Collaborative efforts by the Australian Government to address petrol sniffing, in partnership with the Northern Territory, South Australian and Western Australian Governments, are achieving positive results. Youth diversion programs and increased policing by the Substance Abuse Intelligence Desk are providing positive alternatives for young people and reducing the availability of volatile or illicit substances in Central Australia.

A survey by the Nganampa Health Council showed the prevalence of petrol sniffing across the Anangu Pitjantjatjarra Yunkatjatarra Lands has declined by more than 80 per cent since 2004. To further support these efforts, a second Substance Abuse Intelligence Desk has now been opened in Katherine.

Strengthening leadership and improving community governanceThe Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act) came into effect on 1 July 2007, delivering modern corporate governance standards to some 2,600 Indigenous corporations around Australia. The Registrar administers the CATSI Act and is supported by the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC).

A major achievement for ORIC was the successful implementation and completion of a new electronic document processing system—the Electronic Register of Indigenous Corporations under the CATSI Act (ERICCA). ERICCA has been under development

since 2003 and will deliver more efficient registration services for clients and reduced compliance costs. A supplementary part of the database is a new online forms lodgement function. This secure web-based lodgement system will significantly reduce the need for Indigenous corporations to lodge paper forms with ORIC.

Shared Responsibility Agreements and Regional Partnership AgreementsFlexible funding supports the development and implementation of agreements with Indigenous communities. There are now 362 Shared Responsibility Agreements in place (28 of which were signed this financial year), along with 12 Regional Partnership Agreements (seven of which were signed this year).

Under the Closing the Gap agenda, the negotiation of agreements with communities now includes consideration of the COAG targets. Agreements have also drawn on Strategic Areas for Action and headline indicators identified in the Review of Government Services, Productivity Commission Report, Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage.

These Strategic Areas for Action inform the processes of negotiating agreements with Indigenous communities. This format allows for greater evidence-based assessment of the outcomes of these agreements.

The FaHCSIA Flexible Funding Pool is part of a wider cross-agency initiative introduced in 2006–07 to support the development and implementation of agreements in Indigenous communities.

The MCA established a strategic partnership with the Government through the signing of a five-year MOU that establishes a platform for government and industry to work together with Indigenous people. The aim of the partnership is to build sustainable and prosperous communities in which Indigenous people can create and take up employment and business opportunities in mining regions.

The RPA encompasses the geographic area covered by the town of Port Hedland, with partners including the Australian Government, Western Australian Government, Town of Port Hedland, BHP Billiton Iron Ore, and Indigenous Mining Services.

Achievements since the RPA signing include the following:

120 Indigenous people have commenced employment. ◗

$4 million has been contributed through the Western Australian Strategic ◗

Intervention Package for accommodation and training facilities in three sites across the Pilbara to support RPAs.

Improved cooperation between employers and providers of government ◗

employment services has resulted in increased employment opportunities for Indigenous people.

There has been ongoing industry support for the provision and continuation of ◗

driver training through the Bloodwood Tree Association for both car and heavy vehicle licences. To date, 47 people have gained their licences and 10 pre-driver education workshops have been delivered.

The Australian and Western Australian Governments have funded the ◗

establishment of the Pilbara Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Program, focusing on support for Indigenous people moving into and retaining employment.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is ◗

supporting enterprise development staff in Indigenous organisations, focusing on the building and construction industry.

Indigenous businesses and consortiums have entered into substantial contracts ◗

with BHP Billiton Iron Ore and Woodside Energy Ltd. The contracts will provide education, training and long-term employment and business opportunities for Indigenous people.

Improving Indigenous housing and infrastructureIn the 2007–08 Budget, the former Government announced a major reform strategy to the delivery of Indigenous housing and infrastructure arrangements, aimed at addressing the housing problems experienced by Indigenous people in remote Australia. The funding for the reform strategy is $1.6 billion over the next four years, including an additional $293.6 million provided in the 2007–08 Budget.

In recognition that poor housing is a strong contributor to Indigenous disadvantage, the Government is committed to implementing enhanced arrangements to increase, improve and properly maintain Indigenous housing stock in remote Australia through the Australian Remote Indigenous Accommodation (ARIA) program. A $793 million MOU was signed between the Australian and Northern Territory Governments for Indigenous housing, accommodation and related services. Implementation of ARIA in other jurisdictions is expected to commence from 1 January 2009.

High-level reforms to arrangements between the Australian and state and territory governments are being addressed through the COAG Housing Working Group, which incorporates Indigenous housing reforms.

Funding arrangements through Bilateral Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Agreements with state and territory governments were due to cease on 30 June 2008, but have been extended to 31 December 2008. This will enable them to better link with reform processes being developed through COAG and also to correspond with the extension of the Commonwealth State Housing Agreement.

In June 2008, the Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Program commenced in Kalumburu, Western Australia. This funding, provided under the Community Housing and Infrastructure Program, enabled a range of works, including: construction of a community toilet block; repair and upgrade of the community barge landing and community airstrip; and the construction of a new health clinic, funded by the Western Australian Department of Health.

Land tenure reformSecure land tenure arrangements underpin improvements in housing and infrastructure and help facilitate economic opportunities in remote communities. There have been important developments in Indigenous land tenure reform during 2007–08.

The Indigenous Affairs Legislation Amendment Bill 2008 was passed by Parliament on 23 June 2008. The Bill makes changes to the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 to provide for greater flexibility in leasing Indigenous land, including allowing the term of township leases to be between 40 and 99 years, and expanding the functions of the Executive Director of Township Leasing.

The Executive Director of Township Leasing commenced operation on 1 July 2007 and holds and administers township leases granted under section 19A of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 on behalf of the Australian Government.

The first whole-of-township lease was granted over the township of Nguiu in the Tiwi Islands on 30 August 2007.

On 20 May 2008, the traditional owners of the Groote Eylandt region agreed to enter into a lease over the townships of Angurugu, Umbakumba and Milyakburra for an initial period of 40 years, with an option to renew for an additional 40 years.

Indigenous leadership developmentRegional and national Indigenous Leadership Program workshops attracted 668 participants—over 10 per cent more than the previous year. The Department saw a further 135 people participate in advanced leadership opportunities. In addition, as part of the Reconciliation Action Plan, a two-day workshop was held in May 2008 for 51 mainstream Australian Public Service staff likely to be dealing with Indigenous clients.

RepatriationOpportunities for direct government-to-government negotiations, supported by effective community cultural representations and interventions, led to increased interest in repatriation from overseas governments and institutions. This resulted in positive discussions and agreements with, and return of remains from, several overseas institutions, particularly in Europe.

Challenges in 2007–08Community Housing Management ArrangementsImplementation of new community housing management arrangements in the 73 NTER communities will present many challenges. The Australian Government will engage the Northern Territory Government to act as its property manager and work with the Northern Territory Government as it adapts its mainstream public housing model to deliver housing within the new Remote Public Housing Management Framework.

Northern Territory Emergency ResponseThe remoteness of many communities, as well as limited access during the wet season, presented significant challenges to the rollout of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER).

Under the former Government, the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program was to be phased out in the Northern Territory as part of the NTER. In December 2007, the Government announced a moratorium on this process.

By this time, 16 CDEP program providers and over 2,000 participants had transitioned off the CDEP program. In April 2008, the Government announced that the CDEP program would be made available from 1 July 2008 in those locations where it has been phased out prior to the moratorium. This was announced as an interim measure pending reforms to the CDEP program.

An ongoing challenge associated with the NTER is assisting community stores to meet the management and food quality standards required to receive licensing. In 2007–08, the licensing arrangements were implemented successfully in many stores, which are now reporting an increase in turnover as a result of the new income management processes.

Indigenous leadership developmentIn response to the increasing demand for leadership development, operational changes have been made to extend the program’s reach within available resources. Leadership development underpins many other initiatives to improve self-reliance and engagement and is critical to involving grassroots Indigenous people in policy development. In 2007–08, the role was extended through community engagement workshops that work in conjunction with the NTER.

RepatriationFollowing approaches to a number of overseas countries in the first six months of 2007–08, including face-to-face meetings, there has been a greater demand on resources due to increased interest in repatriation from overseas institutions.

ReconciliationThere has been an increased focus on reconciliation and the Stolen Generations since the National Apology on 13 February 2008. The Department developed and endorsed a FaHCSIA Reconciliation Action Plan for 2007–08 that placed on the public record our strong commitment and actions to progress reconciliation. It covered 29 items that highlighted key activities and initiatives across the Department in the areas of whole-of-government leadership; programs and services; managing client and stakeholder relationships; and internal organisational processes. In May 2008, the Department reported on progress on each of these items.

Contributions to achievement of Outcome 1 for 2007–08Leading and facilitating innovative whole‑of‑government policy across the Australian GovernmentThe Department provides secretariat support to the COAG Working Group on Indigenous Reform (WGIR), and plays a key role in whole-of-government coordination and collaboration in policy development and service delivery in Indigenous affairs. COAG has asked the WGIR to develop reform proposals on Indigenous early childhood development, safety from violence for Indigenous parents and children, remote service delivery and workforce planning, and economic participation and active welfare.

Providing high‑level strategic advice to the Secretaries’ Group and the Ministerial Taskforce on Indigenous AffairsFaHCSIA provided secretariat support to the Ministerial Taskforce on Indigenous Affairs, which set the national policy and priorities for Indigenous affairs prior to the announcement of the 2007 election.

The Department contributed to the Secretaries’ Group on Indigenous Affairs, which assisted the Ministerial Taskforce to implement its priorities until the announcement of the 2007 election. The Secretaries’ Group now supports the Indigenous Affairs Committee of Cabinet in its role in providing strategic direction and in coordinating the delivery of Indigenous programs.

FaHCSIA provided secretariat support to the National Indigenous Council (to the end of their term—30 December 2007), which was appointed to advise the Ministerial Taskforce on Indigenous Affairs. The SES Taskforce on Indigenous Affairs brings together senior executives with key Indigenous affairs responsibilities from across the Government, and advises the Secretaries’ Group on Indigenous Affairs. The Department provided secretariat support to the SES Taskforce in 2007–08.

Effectively engaging with Indigenous communities and collaboratively working with state and territory governments to develop and coordinate integrated Indigenous policy and service delivery arrangementsIn mid-2006, the Australian Government and the Western Australian Government signed a bilateral agreement on Indigenous affairs. The agreement provides for these governments to work collaboratively and increase effort through six key outcome areas: law and order and safe places for people; skills, jobs and opportunities; healthy and strong people; sustainable environmental health and infrastructure; land, sea and culture; and strong leadership and governance.

Chapter 5 Outcome 1 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

Partnering with government, communities, non‑government organisations and the private sector to develop and implement Shared Responsibility Agreements to meet local needsThe Australian Government network of 30 Indigenous Coordination Centres (ICCs) across Australia, managed by FaHCSIA, is a key mechanism to facilitate cooperative working arrangements with non-government organisations, the private sector, Indigenous communities, and for engaging other local, state, territory and Australian Government agencies.

Under the Indigenous Communities Strategic Investment (ICSI) program, ICC staff work with Indigenous communities to identify priorities and local issues, and to bring together stakeholders in the development of agreements with communities. ICC staff also contribute to other strategic initiatives and agreements, with the aim of improving service delivery to Indigenous Australians.

SRAs and RPAs are supported through funding under the ICSI program. Proposals are tailored solutions to meet Indigenous community needs and promote capacity strengthening, improved negotiation and agreement-making skills as well as leveraging government, corporate and philanthropic contributions.

The process of negotiating agreements, and jointly striving towards locally identified priorities, acts as a catalyst for Indigenous communities to identify further areas for improvement and work with the Government towards a shared goal.

Building functional and resilient Indigenous individuals, families and communitiesA number of FaHCSIA programs and initiatives help build functional and resilient Indigenous individuals, families, and communities.

The Indigenous Leadership Program assists Indigenous women, men and youth to gain the skills and confidence they need in order to take action on issues they, their families and communities face.

The Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program assists unemployed Indigenous Australians by providing subsidised employment to help improve their working skills, and aims to transition them into the workforce. Families and communities also benefit from this program through the completion of a number of different projects and economic activity stimulated through CDEP funding.

Developing Indigenous leadershipThe Indigenous Leadership Program strengthens and increases the leadership capacity of Indigenous men, women and youth, providing workshop participants with the skills to take stronger leadership roles in their families, organisations, workplaces and communities.

The community engagement approach promotes understanding of government plans and their implementation among Indigenous communities affected by the NTER.

To further strengthen Indigenous leadership outcomes, FaHCSIA has partnered with Courage Partners to develop a monitoring and evaluation strategy for the program. It will enable reporting of program outcomes that meet the Department of Finance and Deregulation and FaHCSIA’s reporting standards. It will also help to create an evidence base from which informed decisions can be made towards enhanced program planning and service delivery.

Assisting communities with sustainable housing and services, addressing family violence and child and family wellbeing and substance abuseIn 2008–09, the Department will continue to give high priority to having the necessary arrangements in place to commence the Australian Remote Indigenous Accommodation program from 1 January 2009.

The Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program aims to improve outcomes for Indigenous Australians through providing living conditions that will result in better health and safety for families and children.

The Petrol Sniffing Strategy continues to be implemented. The strategy aims to reduce the incidence of petrol sniffing in the four Petrol Sniffing Declared Zones—Central Australian Tri-State Zone, Central Australian Expanded Zone (Northern Territory) East Kimberley (Western Australian), and Mornington/Doomagee (Qld).

The NTER Youth Alcohol Diversion measure is being implemented to provide positive alternatives to alcohol and other substance use for young people in the Northern Territory. It includes the construction or upgrading of recreational infrastructure in over 40 communities; the running of over 30 recreation, sports, arts and culture youth events, including school holiday programs; and supporting community developed youth activities.

Improving Policing in Very Remote Areas is part of the July 2006 COAG Package to address violence and child abuse in Indigenous communities. Planning and/or construction has commenced on 13 new police facilities across Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. Two sniffer dog teams are in operation, one based in Darwin and the second at the Substance Abuse Intelligence Desk in Alice Springs.

Chapter 5 Outcome 1 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

Providing support to address the needs of vulnerable communitiesFaHCSIA has an ambitious reform agenda that governments are focusing on through the COAG Working Group process. The expectation is that state and territory governments will provide housing, infrastructure and municipal services for Indigenous people in urban and regional Australia. It is also proposed that the management of Indigenous housing will be delivered through a public housing model or an equivalent level of tenancy management.

Funding for research to support and develop evidence‑based policyWithin FaHCSIA, the Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination undertakes research that supports evidence-based policy on cross-cutting issues of significance from a whole-of-government perspective.

FaHCSIA is an industry partner to a whole-of-government Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Grant for a project led by the University of Canberra on evaluating frameworks for integrating policy development and the implementation and delivery of public services. This project analyses the Australian experience with whole-of-government initiatives to determine which forms of cross-boundary coordination work are most effective and in what circumstances. The findings will be used to develop a theoretical framework, as well as best practice guidelines to promote effective and efficient governance.

FaHCSIA is also an industry partner, with Rio Tinto and the University of Melbourne, to the ARC Linkage Grant for the Agreements, Treaties and Negotiated Settlements Project. This project researches Indigenous participation, entrepreneurship and economic engagement in the development of sustainable communities, with a particular focus on governance arrangements, taxation and the legal frameworks in which agreement-making and implementation takes place. FaHCSIA provides funding to the Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre to enhance the contribution of long-term scientific and technological research and innovation to Australia’s sustainable economic and social development.

Providing support to recognised representative and other native title bodies and to the statutory land councils, for the benefit of claimants and traditional ownersNative Title Representative Bodies are Indigenous organisations, recognised by the Minister, to perform statutory native title functions for native title holders and claimants. They are funded by FaHCSIA to perform these statutory functions which are set out in the Native Title Act 1993.

As at 1 July 2007, there were 13 Native Title Representative Bodies. Their initial recognition periods, under the system of limited recognition, which came into effect on that date, varied from one to six years. There were also four native title service providers funded by FaHCSIA to perform equivalent functions in areas where no Native Title

Page 78: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

Representative Body exists. Fixed term recognition periods were introduced for all Native Title Representative Bodies and multi-year funding was offered to seven Native Title Representative Bodies from 2007–08.

To promote the efficient performance of native title functions, three Native Title Representative Bodies in Queensland were given recognition periods of one year only, to 30 June 2008. This reduces the number of providers of native title services in Queensland from seven (out of 17 nationally) to five. The effectiveness of services provided in the affected regions should be considerably enhanced under the new arrangements.

In South Australia, the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement decided to relinquish its long-standing status as a Native Title Representative Body from 30 June 2008. South Australian Native Title Services will be funded by FaHCSIA as a native title service provider under s203FE of the Native Title Act 1993 from 1 July 2008 to act for claimants and native title holders.

Prescribed Bodies Corporate are organisations established where native title has been determined, to protect and manage native title in accordance with the wishes of the native title holders. In 2007–08, nine NativeTitle Prescribed Bodies Corporate received funding under the Native Title Program for the first time.

Supporting the repatriation of Indigenous remains from overseas institutionsHighlights in the area of International Repatriation for 2007–08 include: agreements and positive discussions with a number of overseas institutions, where there had previously been a reluctance to repatriate remains; improved collaboration with Indigenous communities, which has resulted in repatriated remains and scheduled repatriations from overseas institutions; and agreements and significant progress towards agreements with most institutions in the United Kingdom. During the year, 17 remains were returned to Australia from four institutions.

Supporting the delivery of incorporation, regulation and related services for Indigenous people in accordance with the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (the CATSI Act)The Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, Anthony Beven, announced several key priorities to strengthen corporations and assist in building stronger communities. An ongoing priority in 2007–08 was improving the overall reputation and credibility of Indigenous corporations by increasing their level of reporting compliance.

In May 2008, as part of its compliance project, the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC) ran a media campaign in regional newspapers listing corporations in each area that were in breach of their reporting obligations under the CATSI Act.

This compliance project was very successful and resulted in a 60 per cent compliance rate, exceeding the anticipated rate of 55 per cent and previous levels of compliance.

ORIC focuses on building the capacity of Indigenous corporations through training, education and assistance. ORIC directly delivered over 200 days of training to corporations, predominately in remote locations, as well as further training through partnership arrangements.

Sixty formal examinations of Indigenous corporations were undertaken by ORIC in 2007–08 to assess their governance. At varying times throughout the year, up to 20 corporations were under special administration managed by ORIC. ORIC also provided assistance with disputes and advice.

cdEP in focus—rEal ProgrEss in crEating jobs

Between 2007–08 and 2009–10, $198 million has been made available to support CDEP conversions to real jobs, in services delivered by the Attorney-General’s Department; the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations; the Department of Environment, Heritage, Water and the Arts; the Department of Health and Ageing; FaHCSIA; and the Northern Territory Government.

On 30 April 2008, the Government announced its timetable for Indigenous employment reforms. At that time, it was announced as an interim measure that the Government would restore CDEP from 1 July 2008 in the 25 prescribed Northern Territory communities and five town camp regions where CDEP was being phased out.

While CDEP is being restored, the process of converting CDEP positions into government service delivery jobs has been continuing. By 30 June 2008, 1312 jobs had been created—1,159 Australian Government funded positions and 153 jobs in territory and local government services.

A Better Future for Indigenous Australians—continuation of the Cape York Digital NetworkThe Cape York Digital Network (CYDN) is a service arm of Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation. CYDN is a technological service which establishes information and communication centres throughout Cape York Communities to promote economic, social and employment development. CYDN provides services including IT support, internet and telecommunications. Their objective is to provide support for users and build communications capacity in communities. Individuals and families can utilise services including computers, internet, and video conferencing, as well as supporting homework centres in some communities.

The project was reviewed in September 2007 as per the terms of the four-year funding agreement. FaHCSIA’s operational funding contribution includes salaries for community-based officers, repairs and maintenance, meetings and travel expenses. CYDN generates revenue through a commercial fee for service and the provision of telecommunications in six regional hubs throughout Cape York. Communities that have commercial arrangements with CYDN include Napranum, Hope Vale, Coen, Weipa, Umagico and Mapoon.

Chapter 5 Outcome 1 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

A Better Future for Indigenous Australians—enhancing opportunities for employment and participation in remote communitiesThe removal of Remote Area Exemptions (RAEs) improves the skills of job seekers by increasing their participation in work preparation activities in remote communities so that they are better equipped to apply for and win local jobs.

As at 30 June 2008, RAEs have been removed in 217 communities and 861 associated outstations across Australia. This includes 86 communities and 654 outstations in the Northern Territory and covers all prescribed communities and outstations that are part of the NTER.

The removal of RAEs led to collaboration between numerous stakeholders, including the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Centrelink, employment service providers (including Structured Training and Employment Project employment-related service providers) and affected communities and individuals. This coordinated approach is essential in bringing about generational change and creating sustainable participation outcomes. As a result, many job seekers are now engaged with employment services for the first time, enabling them to be better placed to apply for jobs in their local community.

A Better Future for Indigenous Australians—foundations for Indigenous welfare reformIn 2007–08, the Department worked on the development and implementation of income management as part of the NTER.

The NTER has introduced compulsory income management of income support and family payments for people in prescribed areas. Income management directs 50 per cent of certain welfare and family payments to agreed priority expenses such as food, utilities and clothing. Income management is intended to ensure that payments meant to benefit children are used for the benefit of children and are not directed towards harmful behaviours.

Income management is applied as a whole-of-community response and affects all community members receiving a relevant welfare payment. It is introduced on a community-by-community basis.

A Better Future for Indigenous Australians—Indigenous housing and infrastructure reformsThe Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program will have a strong focus on local Indigenous employment and training in the Northern Territory. There will be opportunities for Indigenous people to undertake accredited training, as well as employment on large construction projects. The program also includes significant

community consultation and supports innovation in design and construction. Each targeted community will be consulted throughout the project to identify their individual needs and develop solutions to provide appropriate housing and related services.

A Better Future for Indigenous Australians—Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children—continuationThis measure provided $12.1 million over four years to collect longitudinal data on the development of 2,200 Indigenous children in 11 selected urban, regional and rural locations. Using this targeted approach, the study will follow the development and health outcomes of babies and four to five year-olds by interviewing the children, where applicable, and their families and carers each year for the next four years.

A Better Future for Indigenous Australians—opportunities for educationThe construction of a 120-bed boarding facility in Weipa, northern Queensland, and the expansion of 30 places to the existing Wiltja residence in Adelaide, South Australia, have been agreed under the Indigenous Boarding Hostels Partnership initiative. These facilities will support Indigenous secondary students from remote communities who wish to access education in regional and urban areas. This measure applies to Outcomes 1 and 2.

Efficiencies in service delivery agenciesThe Government-announced savings will be achieved from efficiencies identified in Centrelink, as well as Medicare Australia and the Child Support Agency. Further details can be found in the FaHCSIA Portfolio Budget Statements 2008–09.

casE study—bowravillE sHarEd rEsPonsibility agrEEmEnt

Bowraville is a small country town on the mid-north coast of NSW that has the second largest Indigenous population in NSW. The town faces significant social issues, including high unemployment, family violence, crime and substance abuse. In response to these issues, and following a consultation process involving community meetings and surveys, the community developed a Community Strategic Plan.

As various levels of government have an important role to play in the plan’s implementation, Bowraville has entered into a comprehensive Shared Responsibility Agreement (SRA) with the Australian and NSW Governments. FaHCSIA, as an Australian Government partner in this process, will have a significant role in helping the community to access appropriate government resources.

The two key improvements the agreement seeks to achieve are a safer community and increased school attendance. The agreement has a steering committee that will assess feedback from the community facilitators on the progress made toward meeting these goals.

Developed during 2008, the SRA provides a framework that will coordinate Australian Government services and resources through the Coffs Harbour Indigenous Coordination Centre and NSW State Government. It will follow both the Council of Australian Governments’ endorsed principles for Indigenous service delivery and the NSW Government’s Two Ways Together Plan, which sets out how the state government plans to improve the lives of Aboriginal people and their communities through to 2012.

Portfolio Additional EstimatesAboriginal Employment Strategy—reconciliation and youth activitiesFaHCSIA entered into a $6 million three-year agreement with Aboriginal Employment Strategy, a not-for-profit organisation that leverages corporate and philanthropic support for placing and mentoring Aboriginal people into employment. The agreement comprises practical reconciliation activities, an Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurial Program and an Ambassador Program. These components focus on increasing awareness and changing attitudes through employment and training opportunities, increasing the number of Aboriginal people in non-traditional roles, introducing Aboriginal students to work experience and traineeships and reducing anti-social behaviour and crime and violence.

Northern Territory Emergency Response—employment and welfare ReformThrough Supplementary Estimates, the Department received $40.625 million to implement income management in the Northern Territory. Centrelink delivers income management services to people in prescribed areas of the Northern Territory and received $37.060 million from the total appropriation to perform this role. Centrelink conducts community information sessions, interviews people to establish regular payment deductions for priority needs and provides follow-up servicing to ensure people continue to access their income managed funds. Administered funding of $1,178 million was provided for community stores licensing assessment activities, to ensure community stores operating income management accounts met quality and administrative standards. Departmental funding of $2.388 million allowed for the coordination and implementation of income management and community stores licensing policy.

Yamatji—Native Title Representative Body—additional funding for resolution of native title claim issuesThese funds were provided for connection research on Native Title claims in the Pilbara region that cover areas in which Rio Tinto have a mining interest. Most of the funds were expended by the Yamatji Marlpa Barna Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation (Yamatji) this financial year, with the balance carried forward to 2008–09 for completion of the project. Without the additional funding provided to Yamatji for the connection research, it would have taken up to 10 years to complete the work from ongoing funding levels.

Reconciliation—Australia’s ongoing commitmentThe Department implemented the Government’s commitments to a National Apology and a national Indigenous representative body by undertaking consultations with Indigenous people, and through broader community activities designed to promote and advance reconciliation among all Australians.

The projects were funded through existing allocations—the Indigenous Communities Strategic Investment Fund and the Indigenous Leadership Program.

Welfare Reform—Cape York TrialThe Cape York Welfare Reform trials commenced on 1 July 2008. The trials are a partnership between the Australian and Queensland Governments, the Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership and the four communities of Aurukun, Hope Vale, Coen and Mossman Gorge.

During 2007–08, FaHCSIA took the lead role in ensuring that the Government’s contribution to the trials was ready for implementation from 1 July 2008. This has included legislative amendments, securing staff and financial resources, establishing governance arrangements and monitoring progress, stakeholder management, policy development and implementation planning.

Welfare reform in Cape York is a process of moving away from passive welfare dependence towards engagement in the real economy. The basic premise of the trials is that four things must occur: rebuilding of social norms, reform of incentives, normalisation of housing and a retreat of government from the domain of individual responsibility.

rEconciliation wEEk 2008: it’s all our story—join tHE convErsationNational Reconciliation Week is an important time. It allows Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to focus on the issue of reconciliation, reflect on the past, and embrace the future of a united nation. Events celebrating Reconciliation Week 2008 were held from 27 May until 3 June.

To mark the occasion, FaHCSIA National Office staff participated in an Indigenous reconciliation workshop. A dance troupe, which included FaHCSIA staff, performed a number of dances illustrating aspects of life in the Torres Strait. Louise Brown, a local Ngunnawal elder, opened the workshop with a Welcome to Country.

Staff then took part in discussions with the Indigenous Leadership and Engagement Group. They were asked to consider the importance of reconciliation, and to think about what they could do to strengthen reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Participants in the workshop took away a better understanding of reconciliation and what it means for them on a practical level.

in focus—launcH of ‘womEn artwork’ at rEconciliation PlacEOn 11 July 2007, the ‘Women Artwork’ was unveiled in Reconciliation Place.

The ‘Women Artwork’ celebrates the contribution of Lady Jessie Street, Dr Evelyn Scott, AO and Dr Faith Bandler AM to reconciliation.

The artwork serves to remind us of the determination of these women and their collective contribution to Reconciliation in Australia—in particular their roles in the 1967 Referendum.

‘Women Artwork’ Designers: Belinda Smith, Rob Tindal. Graphic Designer: Jennifer Marchant.

EvaluationsA research and evaluation plan for whole-of-government activities in Indigenous affairs for 2007–10 is available on the Department’s website at: www.fahcsia.gov.au.

It outlines research and evaluation activities to be undertaken by the Office of Indigenous Policy Coordination (OIPC) Group. The plan was prepared in consultation with Australian Government agencies, as represented in the Secretaries’ Group on Indigenous Affairs. Research and evaluation will inform whole-of-government Indigenous policy and its implementation.

Key evaluations progressed and/or completed in 2007–08 include the following:

Building a Better Future: Indigenous housing to 2010In May 2001, Australian and State and Territory Housing Ministers endorsed a 10-year statement of future directions for Indigenous housing, Building a Better Future: Indigenous Housing to 2010 (BBF). The BBF affirms the Housing Ministers’ commitment to improving housing and environmental health outcomes for Indigenous Australians. The BBF statement recognises that Indigenous housing is a major national issue requiring priority action.

A mid-term review of the BBF was undertaken in 2005–06. Following the completion of the review, the July 2007 meeting of the Housing Ministers’ Conference (HMC) supported the findings of the review and affirmed a revised BBF Statement. The HMC has reaffirmed the directions and strategic intent of the BBF Statement.

Implementation Review of Indigenous Coordination CentresThe 2007 Review of Indigenous Coordination Centres (ICCs) showed that the ICC model is effective in providing the community-level relationships and instruments for the delivery of many of the Government’s Indigenous programs. Continuous business improvement is implicit in the model, which focuses on developing flexible funding solutions through a range of strategic interventions and better information sharing between stakeholders.

Shared Responsibility AgreementsIn July 2007, Morgan Disney and Associates completed the Implementation Review of Shared Responsibility Agreements: Don’t let’s lose another good idea, available at: www.fahcsia.gov.au.

The review was based on an analysis of 80 individual SRA reviews and a sample of three ICCs implementing SRAs. It investigated ways in which the negotiation and development of SRAs could be improved.

Communities in CrisisIn early 2007, FaHCSIA commissioned SGS Economics and Planning Pty Ltd to evaluate the Communities in Crisis initiative. The evaluation covered a sample of communities where intensive work had already been undertaken, including Balgo, Beagle Bay, Kalumburu and Yalata. The evaluation looked at what was working well and what could be improved at each site and noted that interventions were tailored to individual community needs.

The evaluation found that, for communities experiencing crisis, a holistic response by government and other stakeholders is needed, as well as ongoing support after the community moves out of crisis.

Petrol Sniffing Strategy EvaluationAn evaluation approach for the Petrol Sniffing Strategy (PSS) was developed in late 2007. The first two components of this are underway. It includes an independent review of the first phase of the PSS. The review was concluded in early 2008 and examines the first 12 months of the PSS.

The second initiative under the evaluation approach is the development of the PSS Evaluation Framework. The framework will provide a structure for PSS evaluation activities within FaHCSIA and across agencies.

Baseline Community Profiles in priority communitiesBaseline Community Profiles (BCPs) are a critical part of the evaluation approach for whole-of-government initiatives in Indigenous communities. The Department is working in partnership with state and territory governments and local communities to establish BCPs in selected sites.

The BCPs give a comprehensive snapshot of a community at a point in time, using both quantitative and qualitative data. This forms a basis for subsequent monitoring and evaluation of interventions and programs provided in the community. The profiles are also a tool for Indigenous communities to use as part of their planning. There are BCPs for Beagle Bay, Balgo, Kalumburu, Yalata and Galiwin’ku. BCPs under development include Mornington Island, Nguiu, Palm Island, Oombulgurri, Wyndham, Ringers Soak (Kundat Djaru), Bililuna (Mindibungu), Warmun (Turkey Creek), Kununurra, Halls Creek and Mulan and Groote Eylandt.

casE study—australia 2020 summit

The Australia 2020 Summit was intended as a genuinely inclusive, national conversation to generate new and informed ideas about our long-term challenges.

FaHCSIA staff assisted with the administrative processes relating to participation in the options for the future of Indigenous Australians stream and the strengthening communities, supporting families and social inclusion stream of the summit.

Fifteen people volunteered to be scribes for the future of Indigenous Australia stream. Ten were employees of the Department (including the lead scribe at the SES Band 2 level). Three volunteers were officers of the Treasury, Centrelink and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet while the remaining two acted as facilitators.

The Indigenous stream received 705 submissions from the public. The most constant theme amongst the submissions was the need for greater understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. In particular, many submissions stated that more should be done to promote awareness and understanding of Indigenous culture and history within mainstream Australian society.

The importance of increasing and improving educational and employment opportunities was also extensively discussed. A large number of submissions also called for ‘real’ consultation with Indigenous Australians on the issues affecting their lives.

19 April 2008—Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Hon. Jenny Macklin, MP, speaking at the Options for the Future of Indigenous Australia Stream at the Australia 2020 Summit, held in Parliament House in Canberra.

footPrints in timE—longitudinal study of indigEnous cHildrEn

A landmark study, Footprints in Time—Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, will track the long-term development of 2,200 Indigenous children from communities across Australia. Beginning in April 2008 and led by Professor Mick Dodson, the study will give researchers the capacity to look in depth at the early childhood experiences of Indigenous children and how these experiences influence their future.

The study will provide policy-makers with a completely new evidence base to improve the design and delivery of program and policy interventions for Indigenous children in the early years. Collecting data from 2,200 children, starting with two age groups (6–18 months and three and a half to four and a half years), the study will trace how their circumstances change over at least four years. The study will include children living in diverse locations across Australia, including both rural and metropolitan towns.

It will cover such things as the structure of households and who lives there, child health and nutrition, major life events, how family members interact with children, and the social conditions in which they live.

Designed in consultation with Indigenous stakeholders, including individuals and communities, academics, health professionals and community service providers, the study is a key part of the Australian Government’s Indigenous Early Childhood package to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

ARIA’s purpose is to reform Indigenous housing and infrastructure delivery arrangements through bilateral agreements with state and territory governments.

This will be achieved through: the construction and purchase of additional housing; repair and upgrades of community owned and managed rental housing; repairs and upgrades of existing housing stock and housing-related infrastructure; major capital projects (power, water and sewerage); and funding to state, territory and local governments to ensure that Indigenous people have access to essential services that meet their needs.

Ranger PaymentThe Ranger Agreement, completed under the former Section 44 of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, was made between the Government and the Northern Land Council in November 1978. The agreement provides for various payments in respect of mining on the Ranger Project Area, which is on Aboriginal land. Under this agreement, the Government agreed to pay $0.2 million annually to the Northern Land Council as a form of rental.

Public AwarenessThe Public Awareness Program has two elements:

Public Awareness, which funds selected activities capable of reaching a significant ◗

audience of non-Indigenous people

the National Aborigines’ and Islanders’ Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC), which ◗

funds the annual Indigenous community celebrations during NAIDOC Week (first full week in July).

The objective of the Public Awareness Program is to:

encourage in the wider community an understanding of, and respect for, Aboriginal and ◗

Torres Strait Islander cultures

develop positive attitudes towards Indigenous Australians ◗

inform the wider community about contemporary issues that affect Aboriginal and ◗

Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities.

from July 2008, a number of initiatives in the Helping Children with Autism package will ◗

be implemented nationally by FaHCSIA, the Department of Health and Ageing and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. The FaHCSIA initiatives, with funding totalling $146 million, are grouped under two key areas—education and support for families and carers of children with ASDs, and increased access to early intervention programs for children aged zero to six with ASDs.

Mental healthFaHCSIA supports people with mental illness and their carers by providing: flexible respite and support for carers and families; community-based support for carers and families, young people and children; and recovery support for individuals with a severe functional limitation as a result of a severe mental illness.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA’s key achievements for supporting people with mental illness were:

the successful implementation of the first stages of mental health initiatives under the ◗

COAG National Action Plan on Mental Health 2006–11. Initiatives include the Personal Helpers and Mentors Program (48 new services), Mental Health Respite Program (120 new and/or expanded services) and Mental Health Community-Based Program (38 new services)

significant progress was made across other Government portfolios and with state and ◗

territory governments towards greater coordination and integration of clinical state government services, treatment provided by general practitioners and other private providers, and community support programs for people with severe and enduring mental illness.

Supporting carersFaHCSIA supports carers by: funding respite and information services for young carers; funding respite for older carers; providing payments to people who provide daily care at home to a person with disability, severe medical condition, or who are frail aged; and providing income support to people whose caring responsibilities prevent them from substantial workforce participation.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA’s key achievements for supporting carers were:

implementing lump-sum bonus payments to eligible carers who receive the Carer ◗

Payment or Carer Allowance

implementing Health Care Cards to ex-Carer Allowance (child) students aged 16–25 years ◗

implementing the Child Disability Assistance Payment of $1,000 to recipients of the ◗

Supporting women and youthFaHCSIA supports women by increasing their opportunities to live free of discrimination and violence and to participate fully in the economic, social and cultural sectors of Australian society. FaHCSIA assists youth by addressing youth homelessness through the Reconnect program.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA’s key achievements for supporting women and youth included:

Funding of $2.1 million was provided to 22 national women’s organisations to increase ◗

women’s leadership and advocacy capabilities.

The White Ribbon Foundation will receive $1 million over four years for White Ribbon ◗

Day education activities in rural and regional areas. The White Ribbon Day campaign aims to engage a wide cross-section of men and boys in order to prevent violence against women.

The Women’s Services Network (WESNET) was allocated $625,000 to build the capacity ◗

of organisations supporting victims of domestic or family violence through prevention and early intervention activities. WESNET will administer the funding by providing grants to community and non-government organisations, and will actively support the capacity development of successful grant recipients.

The National Council to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children was ◗

established to oversee the development of a National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children. A key priority for the council is to achieve cultural and attitudinal change in relation to violence against women. The inaugural meeting of the council was opened by the Prime Minister on 4 June 2008. A draft plan will be delivered in December 2008.

The Office for Women led the Government’s delegation to the annual meeting of the ◗

UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), the highest forum on women’s issues within the UN. In the lead-up to, and following CSW, the Office for Women engaged with Australian women through the National Women’s Secretariats on the key themes of the meeting.

The National Women’s Secretariats, comprising 71 non-government women’s ◗

organisations, were funded through the Office for Women.

In 2007–08, the Reconnect program provided early intervention and support services to ◗

casE study—Production stEPPEd uP on ‘flood’ biscuits

Through funding from FaHCSIA, the House with No Steps is able to provide supported employment in a number of locations in NSW.

Aussie Biscuits is a business run by their Forbes service that employs 31 people with disability.

Following the severe flooding in Mackay, Queensland, from 14–15 February 2008, the House with No Steps Queensland donated more than 16,000 biscuits as part of the recovery effort. The biscuits were freshly made at the Forbes factory and transported to Mackay to assist flood victims.

Forbes factory staff went to great effort to produce the biscuits and their work made a welcome contribution to extensive community recovery efforts within the Mackay community.

Challenges in 2007–08Challenges to supporting the agedActive community engagement in issues about levels of support for seniors involved FaHCSIA in a number of ways. For example, FaHCSIA managed the drafting of responses to a large number of representations to Minister Macklin and provided information and advice to Minister Macklin on seniors’ issues.

As in 2006–07, FaHCSIA continues to respond to those seniors affected by the volatility in financial markets. FaHCSIA continually monitors companies that are experiencing difficulties. When pensioner and carer incomes are adversely affected by their holdings in companies that fail, steps are taken to assist these groups in regard to their assessments.

For example, deeming rates are used to assess income from financial investments for social security pension and allowance purposes. The deeming rules are a simple and fair way of assessing income from financial investments as they treat all financial investments in the same way and reflect returns available to pensioners in the market from a range of financial investments. However, there are provisions to assist those pensioners with investments that have failed due to the volatility in the markets.

In addition, once it is established that a financial investment no longer exists, deemed income ceases to be assessed and the value of the asset is recalculated in line with advice from company administrators.

Challenges to supporting people with disabilityThe Government is currently developing a National Disability Strategy in partnership with the state and territory governments. It aims to address the needs of people with disability by setting a consistent national direction for the enhancement of disability legislation, policy and standards that is inclusive. The strategy will align with the tenets of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

To ensure that the strategy incorporates the identified needs of the disability sector, a comprehensive consultation process will be undertaken. This consultation process will provide the opportunity for people with disability, carers, families and other stakeholders to contribute their knowledge to the development of the National Disability Strategy. Input will be sought on the differing needs across urban, regional and remote centres, from a range of demographic groups within Australia. These views will be used in developing the strategy and policy direction, with the intent of delivering a whole-of-government, whole-of-life-cycle strategy.

FaHCSIA is also currently working with disability business services to build their own capacity to maintain a sustainable and viable sector. A major element of this work is addressing the challenges that an ageing workforce will bring, and the need to attract workers into disability business services by improving school-to-work transitions to the sector.

FaHCSIA has worked hard to develop strong working relationships with the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) sector and state and territory governments. To implement the Helping Children with Autism package, the Department has undertaken ongoing consultations with state and territory governments through the COAG state-based mental health working groups and the Disability Policy and Research Working Group. In developing the FaHCSIA components of the package, a wide range of key stakeholders have been consulted, including key autism peak bodies in the states and territories, ASD experts, relevant professional bodies and advocacy groups representing children with an ASD.

EvEnt insigHt—national autism awarEnEss montH brEakfast

On 27 May 2008, the first national breakfast meeting for autism was held at Parliament House to mark National Autism Awareness Month. The event was jointly hosted by Adrian Ford, Chairperson of the Australian Advisory Board on Autism Spectrum Disorders and Bob Buckley, National Coordinator of Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia.

The guest speakers at the breakfast were: the Hon. Bill Shorten, MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children’s Services; Ms Katharine Annear, an adult with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); and John Doyle, (the Patron of Autism Spectrum Australia and better known as Roy Slaven from Roy and HG), who has a sister with an ASD. Their stories highlighted the everyday challenges faced by people with ASDs, their families and carers.

The breakfast raised awareness of ASDs and informed key autism stakeholders of the Government’s $190 million Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) package.

Parliamentary Secretary Bill Shorten addressed the breakfast and explained how the HCWA package aims to have a positive impact on the long-term life outcomes of children with ASDs. ‘It will enable families and carers to better support their children with an ASD post-diagnosis and undertake early intervention that will benefit their child. And I really hope it will assist families and carers with the pressures they face in raising their children.’

The package will be progressively implemented from July 2008 by FaHCSIA, the Department of Health and Ageing, and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

FaHCSIA, as the lead implementation agency for the package, has responsibility for the early intervention programs and support components.

The COAG meeting on 26 March 2008 agreed to a new framework for Commonwealth–state financial relations which will result in a significant rationalisation of Specific Purpose Payments. The reform will see a reduction from the current 92 Specific Purpose Payments to five or six new national agreements, one of them being for the delivery of disability services.

The new agreements will focus on agreed outputs and outcomes, providing greater flexibility for jurisdictions to allocate resources to areas where they will produce the best outcomes for the community. For all new arrangements, a new performance and

Page 124: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

assessment framework will be developed to support public reporting against performance measures and milestones.

The Government is working with state and territory governments on a new National Disability Agreement under the COAG reforms that will replace the current Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement from 1 January 2009.

Challenges to supporting people with mental illnessFaHCSIA has been working with state and territory governments and the COAG mental health working groups in each jurisdiction towards greater integration and coordination of mental health services.

In collaboration with the mental health community-based sector, FaHCSIA is implementing strategies to increase the capacity of existing and recently established mental health services to foster new and innovative family support and respite options.

The delivery of culturally-appropriate services in remote areas, through the Personal Helpers and Mentors and Mental Health Respite Programs, is a priority. Through engagement with Australian Government, state government and community stakeholders, new services which complement other programs have been created to best meet the needs of people in remote areas.

Challenges to supporting carersUnderstanding the critical role that carers play in Australia and how the Government can best support them is an important challenge for the Department.

The Carer Payment (child) Review Taskforce, with assistance from FaHCSIA, consulted widely across Australia in examining the eligibility criteria for Carer Payment (child) and the effectiveness of the payment in providing a safety net for carers of children with profound disability or severe medical conditions.

The taskforce received around 4,000 submissions from a wide range of individuals and organisations sharing their challenges and experiences of caring for a child with disability. The submissions highlighted the broad range of tasks carers perform and the ways in which the caring load affects carers, families and relationships.

The taskforce’s report, Carer Payment (child): A New Approach, released in February 2008, found that the eligibility criteria for Carer Payment (child) were too restrictive, and that the assessment processes were overly rigid and produced inequitable outcomes.

FaHCSIA is now developing a simpler, fairer eligibility and assessment process for Carer Payment (child), based on care load, which will significantly improve the level of assistance for carers of children with disability or severe medical conditions.

Other key challenges have been:

implementing the Child Disability Assistance Payment in a short timeframe, including ◗

preparing legislation and designing payment arrangements

continuing the implementation of measures to assist parents in planning for the future ◗

care needs of their family member with disability

building a stronger research and data evidence base to develop future carer policies. ◗

Challenges to supporting womenIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA addressed the continuing challenge of violence against women through activities to promote and improve women’s safety. The Department will support the council developing the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children.

Contributions to achievement of Outcome 2 for 2007–08Helping to support the aged through the provision of income support targeted to those in need, while providing incentives for productive use of savings and investments—Australia’s Future Tax System reviewFaHCSIA is leading an investigation into the financial security of seniors, carers and people with disability, including a review of the Age Pension, Carer Payment and Disability Support Pension, as part of the Government’s broader inquiry into Australia’s Future Tax System. The Pension Review will investigate the appropriate levels of income support and allowances, the frequency of payments, and the structure and payment of concessions or other entitlements.

Helping to support the aged through access to concessions and related allowancesFaHCSIA has implemented the Government’s commitment to increase and extend Utilities Allowance and to increase Seniors Concession Allowance. The election commitment to increase Telephone Allowance for seniors, carers and people with disability who have a home internet connection was also implemented. The first quarterly payments commenced in March 2008.

The one-off bonus payments to senior Australians, announced in the 2008–09 Budget, were provided in June 2008 to income support recipients of Age Pension, Wife Pension and Widow B Pension, and to Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holders.

To make it easier and cheaper for seniors who travel interstate, the Government has committed to negotiating with state and territory governments to achieve reciprocal concessions for state Seniors Card holders who access public transport services outside their home state. Fifty million dollars has been provided over four years to implement this plan from 1 January 2009.

Encouraging Australians to become financially stronger through providing financial information servicesFaHCSIA provides a suite of high-quality publications and information services to ensure that clients, potential clients and others planning their retirement have sufficient general information to help them access government entitlements and to make effective use of their private resources.

The challenge in providing this information is to help clients make informed decisions about when and how to retire, but in particular how to increase their skills to become financially prepared for retirement.

Increasing the level of social support and community‑based care for people with a mental illness or intellectual disability and their families and carersThe Mental Health Community Based Program aims to support families, carers, children and young people (16–24 years) affected by mental illness through a diverse range of community programs. In 2007–08, 38 new projects were funded in all states and territories to build on family strengths and improve resilience and family functioning, particularly for Indigenous families and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The Mental Health Respite Program supports carers of people with severe mental illness or intellectual disability by increasing the number who can take a break from their usual caring role. In 2007–08, the mental health and intellectual disability respite services have continued to expand, with 120 new services funded to support carers.

The Personal Helpers and Mentors Program assists people with severe functional limitation as a result of a severe mental illness to better manage their daily activities, access appropriate services and live independently in the community. A further 48 sites were implemented nationally during 2007–08 to increase social support for people with mental illness, including support for engagement with their community, families and carers.

Chapter 6 Outcome 2 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

Promoting independence and self‑reliance through provision of employment assistance services and other services for people with disabilityThere has been significant reform of the business services sector over recent years, designed to enhance employment opportunities for people with disability and boost the commercial viability of business services. The key elements of these reforms are a legislated quality assurance system and the introduction of case-based funding.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA has continued to build on and consolidate gains made with the reforms to the business service sector. A marketing and promotions strategy was identified as a way to build upon the significant investment made in business services over previous years to improve their business viability. The strategy is a way to connect potential purchasers of products and services with the businesses themselves. It is expected that additional business generated for the sector through the strategy will deliver greater sustainability in employment for business service employees with disability.

The Government has commenced a process to develop a National Mental Health and Disability Employment Strategy. The development is a key part of the Government’s response to increasing employment opportunities for people with disability and/or mental illness who wish to work.

Assisting carers to continue in their caring role and to prepare for life after caring responsibilities through information and support, including respite and peer supportThe Government is committed to improving the support available to older carers. Australian State and Territory Disability Ministers have agreed to deliver $1.9 billion in funding to deliver more than 24,800 additional disability places, including:

around 2,300 in-home support services ◗

2,400 supported accommodation places ◗

10,100 individual support packages ◗

10,000 much-needed respite places in a range of forms across Australia. ◗

Funding of $51 million over the three years to 2009–10 is being transferred to states and territories to develop additional respite capacity for older carers.

The Young Carers Respite and Information Services program targets young carers at risk of leaving school prematurely and not completing their education. The program also assists young carers with support, respite, information and advice.

A national program of peer support for parents of young children with disability called MyTime, aims to reduce isolation for parents and provide access to information and networks.

Helping parents or immediate family members to make private financial provisions for the current and future care and accommodation needs of a person with severe disabilitySpecial Disability Trusts attract social security means test concessions and make it easier for families to provide financially for the current and future care and accommodation needs of immediate family members with severe disability. However, take-up has been low to date and these trusts are the subject of a Senate inquiry to examine why more families of dependants with disability are not making use of the current provisions.

The outcomes of consultations to identify the needs of carers planning for the future care and accommodation of a family member with disability were released in Succession Planning for Carers: Summary Report on Consultations—July 2007. Research was also undertaken to examine if the promotional material met the information and useability needs of those planning for the future.

Ensuring that women are consulted on, and have input into, emerging policy that has a major impact on womenThe National Women’s Secretariats, through consultation with their member organisations, provide valuable input to assist the Government to formulate a policy that is beneficial to all Australian women.

The Government convened a National Rural Women’s Summit in June 2008, involving 80 delegates from across Australia. The Office for Women will examine the outcomes of the summit, including the option to establish a National Rural Women’s Network.

The Office for Women is preparing Australia’s combined sixth and seventh report on the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and worked with the Attorney-General’s Department to finalise the National Interest Analysis, a prerequisite to ratifying the Optional Protocol to CEDAW, which was tabled in Parliament on 26 August 2008.

Communicating with and providing information to womenThe Office for Women plays a key role in providing policy advice aimed at improving the status and position of Australian women. The Office for Women serves as the principal focus for consultation between the women’s sector and the Government and works closely with other Australian Government departments and agencies.

Helping vulnerable women, such as those experiencing domestic violence, through prevention, awareness raising, research and identifying best practice ways of supportIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA assisted vulnerable women through activities addressing the issue of violence against women and promoting women’s safety.

Funding was provided for the Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse, the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault and the Australian Institute of Criminology to undertake research on family and domestic violence and sexual assault. Funding was also provided for community level research and pilot projects throughout Australia to inform policy on domestic violence and sexual assault in Australia.

Training is provided for rural and remote practice nurses and Aboriginal health workers in providing referrals for victims of domestic violence. Under this initiative, eligible general practices will receive an incentive payment for nurses and Aboriginal Health Workers who complete the training. This program is funded in partnership with the Department of Health and Ageing through their Practice Incentive Program Scheme.

Increasing the number of women in leadership roles throughout society by providing capacity building, such as leadership programsThrough the AppointWomen monitoring system, the Office for Women provides a whole-of-government status report on the representation of women on Australian Government boards and bodies. Funding was provided to national non-government women’s groups to improve leadership opportunities for women.

Acknowledging and celebrating the many and diverse contributions that women make to AustraliaFaHCSIA acknowledges that women have differing needs across their lifespan and provides opportunity and choice for Australian women in the many and diverse roles they undertake.

The Office for Women supports and promotes the participation of women at international forums that focus on women’s issues, in particular the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and the Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation Women Leaders’ Network.

Above General Rate component of Disability Pension—increases to the Special and Intermediate RatesIncreases to the special and intermediate rates of Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Disability Pension payments, from 1 July 2007, resulted in increased assessable income for some social security pensioners. This led to a minor reduction in outlays on social security pension payments.

Assets test exemptions for exceptional circumstancesChanges were made to the means test assessment of proceeds from the sale of a principal home for income support recipients, who are unable to build or purchase their new home within 12 months due to factors beyond their control. The temporary absence rules were also changed to assist income support recipients, such as people affected by natural disasters. These two changes took effect from 1 July 2007.

Assurance of Support simplification packageAs part of the 2007–08 Budget, an additional $13.1 million over four years was provided to ensure effective, efficient and timely administration of the Assurance of Support (AoS) Program. A number of changes to the program were also implemented on 1 January 2008, including changes to the income test for assurers and the removal of the AoS requirements from skilled and carer visa categories.

Carer bonusIn 2008, the Government provided around $428.1 million for one-off lump sum carer bonus payments to recognise the important role and contribution of carers in our community. A payment of $1,000 was made to carers who receive the Carer Payment or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Carer Service Pension. Carer Allowance recipients who receive a Wife Pension or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Partner Service Pension also received

$1,000. Carer Allowance recipients were paid $600 for each eligible care receiver. Carer bonus payments are not subject to income tax, nor are they treated as income for social security purposes.

Carer ex‑gratia paymentThe interim one-off Carer Adjustment Payment ex-gratia scheme is available to families who are not eligible for Carer Payment (child), but who have significant caring requirements following a catastrophic event for a child zero to six years with severe disability or illness. Families need to present their case for consideration by an independent panel of experts. To be eligible, at least some part of the immediate adjustment period must fall on, after, or close to the start date of the scheme (1 January 2007).

Combating trafficking in persons—extension and expansionAs part of the whole-of-government strategy to combat trafficking in persons, the Government launched an Action Plan to Eradicate Trafficking in Persons, which commenced in 2004. The plan has a particular focus on the successful prosecution of perpetrators as the best defence against people trafficking.

One element of the plan is the Support for Victims of People Trafficking Program, which is coordinated by the Office for Women and delivered in partnership with the Attorney-General’s Department, the Australian Federal Police and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. The Government has provided funding of $4.1 million over four years from 2007–10 for the Support for Victims of People Trafficking Program.

The program is available to victims of people trafficking who are both willing and able to assist with the investigation or prosecution of a people trafficking offence. Eligibility for support is tied to certain types of visa under the People Trafficking Visa Framework. Support includes income assistance, access to accommodation, medical treatment, legal and migration advice, counselling, training and social support.

Commonwealth State and Territory Disability Agreement—negotiation of a new agreement with the states and territoriesState and Territory Disability Ministers have agreed to extend the current Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement to 31 December 2008. This will allow time for the Council of Australian Governments’ Specific Purpose Payment (SPP) reform process to be finalised. The SPP reform process will generate a new framework for government, state and territory financial relations. A new National Disability Agreement will be developed under this framework.

The DHS measures enhance the focus on identity fraud and ensuring customers receive their correct payment.

The DEEWR measure improves the accuracy of outlays through the verification of earnings.

Fraud and compliance—preventing Carer Payment debtThis measure introduces risk profiling to the selection of Carer Payment reviews. Risk profiling adopts a more targeted review framework that focuses on those who are at risk of receiving incorrect payment through undeclared income and assets or relinquished care.

The Health Care Card is valid for a 12-month period. Extending access to a Health Care Card helps students with disability or a medical condition to manage their ongoing medical costs and continue their education.

Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey (HILDA) extension of data collectionThe 2007–08 Budget provided the HILDA longitudinal survey with $20.9 million for Waves 9–12, which will cover the period 2008–09 to 2011–12. Funding for Waves 9–12 will enable HILDA to continue to supply researchers and social policy makers with valuable data on changes to families, employment and incomes in Australia. This measure applies to Outcomes 2, 3 and 4.

Humanitarian settlement initiatives—extending Crisis Payment to newly arrived humanitarian entrants on arrival in AustraliaFrom 1 January 2008, the Crisis Payment was extended to humanitarian entrants who enter Australia for the first time on a qualifying humanitarian visa. The additional financial support provided through the Crisis Payment helps reduce the significant financial burden faced by humanitarian entrants during their initial settlement period.

Most of these migrants are subject to a two-year waiting period for income support payments, and 10 years in the case of Age Pension. However, all migrants can receive family payments immediately upon arrival in Australia. This measure applies to Outcomes 2 and 3.

National Disability Advocacy Program—enhancementsChanges are being implemented to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the National Disability Advocacy Program.

An additional $12.2 million over four years was announced in the 2007–08 Federal Budget to fund improvements to the program and deliver extra services to people with disability who are most in need. This additional funding builds on the existing work already undertaken to enhance the National Disability Advocacy Program.

EvEnt insigHt—mytimE PEEr suPPort grouPsThe MyTime program of peer support groups is for parents and carers who are eligible for the Carer Allowance (child), and are caring for a child under school age with disability, developmental delay or a chronic medical condition.

FaHCSIA has contributed $9 million in funding to the MyTime groups, which were launched in April 2007. Specifically aimed at parents of young children with disability, it is the first nationally-funded program of its kind in the world.

On 19 February 2008, at the Noah’s Ark Resources Centre in Rivett (Australian Capital Territory), the Hon. Bill Shorten, MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children’s Services, launched the 100th MyTime Peer Support Group in Australia.

Almost 600 families have joined MyTime since its launch, with a third of families located in regional areas. The MyTime groups are facilitated by a play helper, who leads children in activities such as singing, drawing, and play—allowing the parents to meet and talk with other parents.

According to Christian Thompson, Director of Community Programs at the Parenting Research Centre, the coordinating body for the initiative, ‘Parents and carers are reporting that MyTime is a place where they feel completely accepted. They are surprised by how much difference it makes having a completely supportive space where they can share experiences and catch up with others who understand what they are going through, in a space where their child’s disability does not make them feel different.’

When Julie discovered her daughter Hayley had Autism, she was devastated and had difficulty maintaining friendships. Since finding out about MyTime through her playgroup, Julie has been able to form new friendships with parents in similar situations. ‘I had a real opportunity to share problems with people who understand what I’m going through.’

Julie has found her kids have also benefited from participating in the MyTime group. Julie says that Hayley is interacting with the other children in MyTime more than she ever used to with children at her playgroup.

‘It’s less overwhelming for Hayley and she can do her own thing. All sessions are great. It’s time for me,’ Julie said.

19 February 2008—Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children’s Services, the Hon. Bill Shorten, MP, at the launch of the MyTime Peer Support Group in Rivett, Australian Capital Territory. The Canberra group is the 100th MyTime group formed in Australia, as part of the $9 million nation-wide peer support program.

These changes included: the introduction of a new Pension Bonus Bereavement Payment, more flexible arrangements for scheme members taking leave from their employment, flexibility to accept claims that were lodged late because of circumstances beyond the person’s control, and top-ups to bonus payments in specified circumstances.

Reconnect—continuation of fundingIn April 2007, the Government announced an extension of funding through the forward estimates to the Reconnect program of $85 million over the next four years.

Respite Support for Carers of Young People with Severe and Profound Disabilities—continuation and expansion of funding

The Respite Support for Carers of Young People with Severe and Profound Disability Program will continue with additional funding of $1.5 million over four years, on top of existing program funding of almost $6 million per year. This increased the provision of immediate and short-term respite to carers of young people with severe or profound disability.

Seniors bonus paymentA one-off bonus payment of $500 was made to each senior Australian who received Utilities Allowance or Seniors Concession Allowance. The payment was made to more than two million senior Australians before the end of June 2007, at a cost of $1.3 billion.

Social Security Agreement between Australia and Germany—Supplementary AgreementAll Australian legislative requirements for the proposed Supplementary Agreement on Social Security between Australia and Germany were completed on 18 June 2008.

casE study—mEntal HEaltH community basEd Program

The Mental Health Community Based Program (MHCBP) aims to support families, carers, children and young people (16–24 years) affected by mental illness through a diverse range of community programs. The program seeks to build on family strengths and improve resilience. It is delivered by service providers in each state and territory.

As an example, the MHCBP was able to provide a young mother with practical support. The mother was experiencing high levels of stress as she was caring for two children under the age of five and supporting her husband, who experienced debilitating migraines and was frequently hospitalised for treatment of a mental illness. The maternal grandmother had also died recently and, as she had been a great support to the client, her loss was also a source of considerable stress.

Over several weekly meetings with the mother, the project workers explored the effects of stress on her and the family and assisted her management of the family affairs. Additional child care hours were organised, allowing the mother more time for herself and she was able to develop an understanding of the effects of this stress on herself and her family.

The mother has said that she has found the whole experience very helpful; that she doesn’t feel alone anymore and that her own mental health is improving.

Portfolio Additional EstimatesChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorders—support for families and carersThe Australian Government’s $190 million Helping Children with Autism package was implemented from July 2008. Prior to this, funding was provided to support the development of the key components of the measure and to consult with key stakeholders, including the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) sector, states and territories and relevant experts in ASDs.

Disability Assistance—support for people with disabilities, their families and carersIn May 2008, the Government in partnership with state and territory governments agreed to deliver a $1.9 billion funding boost to disability support services across Australia over four years.

State and territory governments agreed to deliver $901 million in funding, in addition to the $901 million from the Commonwealth. The Government also committed an additional $100 million in new capital funding for state and territory governments to establish new supported accommodation facilities, which will deliver 313 new supported accommodation places across Australia.

In total, the $1.9 billion in funding will deliver more than 24,800 additional disability places, including:

around 2,300 in-home support services ◗

2,400 supported accommodation places ◗

10,100 individual support packages ◗

10,000 much-needed respite places in a range of forms across Australia. ◗

The Government will continue to work with state and territory governments to rollout this significant investment. Together, all governments are committed to strengthening services for people with disability and their families.

Other initiatives implemented include the Child Disability Assistance Payment (a $1,000 annual payment to recipients of Carer Allowance who are caring for a child with disability under 16 years), vacation care and outside school hours services for children and teenagers with disability, and an examination of ways to increase private sector involvement and investment in the funding of disability services and related infrastructure.

Seniors Concession Allowance—increaseSeniors Concession Allowance is a payment for holders of the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC) to help with household costs. The allowance was increased from $218 to $500 a year for CSHC holders. The allowance is paid in quarterly instalments of $125 commencing 20 March 2008.

National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their ChildrenOn 26 May 2008, the Government announced the establishment of a National Council, responsible for developing a National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children. The plan will aim to reduce domestic violence and sexual assault, an objective that augments the Government’s election commitment to improve women’s safety in Australia. The council is working to provide the Government with their plan by December 2008.

casE study—PErsonal HElPErs and mEntors

The Personal Helpers and Mentors (PHaMs) program assists people aged 16 years and over whose ability to manage their daily activities and to live independently in the community is impacted by a severe functional limitation as a result of a severe mental illness. This is achieved through increasing opportunities for recovery.

The program is delivered by service providers in each state and territory. Personal helpers and mentors employed by each service provider support program participants in their recovery process. They help participants to access appropriate services, manage their daily activities, engage with their community, families and carers, and plan for their recovery.

A 51 year old male with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and anxiety disorder was referred to PHaMs by a specialised mental health care service. The participant occasionally left his home to go shopping, but due to severe anxiety, had not left his immediate neighbourhood for 20 years. He was also unable to clean his house. A PHaMs worker built rapport with the man through home visits and social outings.

Through an individual recovery plan, the participant identified his major goals as ‘gaining part time employment’ and ‘a cleaner house’. The PHaMs worker organised assistance and skill training in house cleaning and explored employment options with the participant. The participant successfully undertook an interview and skills assessment with a Disability Employment Service. This resulted in him gaining entry into the assembly and spare parts wing of an organisation where he is now working eight hours a week.

Chapter 6 Outcome 2 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

The evaluation identified that the Strengthening Families Program addressed needs that are not systemically and comprehensively addressed by other Australian Government and state and territory governments measures and programs. The evaluation reported that service delivery outcomes have collectively contributed to improvements in service capacity, service delivery models, policies and systems and the capacity of the workforce to deliver services to families. Under the Strengthening Families Program, resources have also been produced which have the potential for wider application in assisting families.

The review recommended that the program be expanded to enhance the capacity of the alcohol and other drugs and the family services sectors in responding to the needs of families.

dEtEcting incorrEct carEr PaymEnts

When people who are being cared for at home move into a nursing home or residential aged care facility, their carers cease to qualify for Carer Payment after 14 weeks and Carer Allowance on entry into the home. In the past, it was possible for carers to receive payments in error, due to lack of information available to Centrelink about their change in status.

On 1 July 2007, a new data matching system commenced that allows information from the Department of Health and Ageing to be matched with Centrelink data. FaHCSIA examines this database daily to match data on people going into care with data on whether their carers are on Carer Payment or Carer Allowance. This activity allows Centrelink to review these payments immediately, before a debt is accrued, significantly easing the financial burden for people whose eligibility for the payments has ceased.

The new system has made it much easier for changes in eligibility to be identified and actioned. In its first six months of operation, 2,907 payment reviews were actioned.

Age PensionAge Pension is an income support payment designed to ensure seniors have an adequate standard of living in retirement. The qualifying age is 65 years for men and 63.5 for women, increasing to 65 by 2014. While the Age Pension is means-tested, the design of the means test ensures that incentives are maintained for the productive use of private savings and investments and for participation.

The Pension Bonus Scheme is intended to encourage older Australians to continue working beyond age pension age, rather than retiring from the workforce and claiming the Age Pension.

The maximum basic rate and pension supplement for the Age Pension are indexed twice a year in line with increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). If, after CPI adjustment, the maximum single basic rate is less than 25 per cent of male total average weekly earnings, it is adjusted up to that benchmark, with proportional flow-on to the maximum partnered basic rate.

While indexation in line with CPI increases ensures payment rates reflect increases in prices, the male average weekly earnings benchmark ensures pensioners share in any increases in community living standards as measured by the growth in wages. The real value of pension payments has substantially increased over the last decade.

Figure 2.7 Increases to the single pension rate under actual and alternative scenarios, March 2003 to March 2008

Note: From July 2000, to compensate pensioners for the impact of the Goods and Services Tax, the maximum rate of pension increased by four per cent (half of which was a payment in advance of the normal March 2001 indexation increase). This increase is known as the Pension Supplement. It increases in line with CPI and is paid in addition to the base rate of pension that is set to at least 25 per cent of Male total average weekly earnings.

Figure 2.8 Proportion of age pensioners receiving a part-rate pension, June 1998 to June 2008

New entrants to Age Pension have significantly higher average private income and assets than those of the full Age Pension population. This means that the proportion of Age Pension entrants who receive a part-rate pension is much higher than the proportion of part-rate pensioners in the entire Age Pension population.

In the three months to 30 June 2008, 57 per cent of Age Pension entrants were granted at part-rate, while only 44 per cent of the full Age Pension population received a part-rate pension. Higher average levels of assessable income and assets of Age Pension entrants are partly due to higher average levels of superannuation benefits. The September 2007 relaxation of the assets test taper is also contributing to higher average levels of assessable income and assets.

Chapter 6 Outcome 2 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

There is increasing diversity in income and assets holdings of age pensioners. On the one hand, some pensioners have little private income or assets. They may have spent considerable parts of their working life out of the workforce, and/or much of their working life pre-dated Superannuation Guarantee arrangements.

These factors restrict capacity to accumulate savings. On the other hand, a growing proportion of age pensioners have substantial private resources. The September 2007 relaxation of the assets test taper is reinforcing diversity in the private resources of age pensioners. At 30 June 2008, homeowner pensioner couples had assessable assets in the range from $0 to $849,500 (in addition to the exempt home).

Figure 2.9 Take-up of Age Pension June 1998 – June 2008

There are more women than men in receipt of the Age Pension (57.5 per cent in June 2008), due to their longer life expectancy and lower qualifying age for Age Pension. More women than men receive the full rate of Age Pension—a total of 57.7 per cent of female age pensioners are paid at full rate, compared to 54.4 per cent of males. This reflects that on average women accumulate lower income and assets to provide for retirement.

Almost 43.2 per cent of age pensioners are single. Singles tend to be older than partnered pensioners and are more likely to receive a full rate pension than partnered pensioners (63.4 per cent compared with 50.8 per cent). As at June 2008, 39.5 per cent of age pensioners assisted by Centrelink were born overseas.

Number of Age Pensions paid under International Social Security AgreementsIn June 2008, there were 33,125 Age Pensions paid under agreements (excluding New Zealand and the United Kingdom), averaging $4,553 per year per person. An additional 9,115 Age Pensions were paid under the Agreement with New Zealand, at an average of $5,270 per year per person. Under the former Agreement with the United Kingdom, 236 Age Pensions were paid, averaging $7,157 per year per person.

Provision of financial informationFaHCSIA’s seniors publications promote independence and self-reliance to retirees and pre-retirees and provide information on planning, saving and preparing for retirement, investment options and the effective use of savings for self-support. Around 83,000 copies of these publications were distributed during 2007–08.

Centrelink’s Financial Information Service (FIS) is funded by FaHCSIA. FIS is a free information and education service available to all Australians. FIS aims to ensure people have sufficient information to help them make effective use of their financial resources for self-support, make informed decisions about retirement issues and have adequate financial preparation for a retirement that allows participation in their community.

At 30 June 2008, there were some 148 full-time equivalent FIS officers throughout Australia (137 full-time and 22 part-time). Between July 2007 and June 2008, officers made approximately 201,000 phone calls and conducted approximately 89,000 face-to-face interviews. Over the same period, 90,000 people attended seminars. The seminars have a strong focus on encouraging pre-retirees to plan for retirement. Thirty-nine per cent of attendees were under age 55.

Pension bonus schemeThe Pension Bonus Scheme is intended to encourage older Australians to defer Age Pension and continue working beyond age pension age. It provides a one-off tax-free lump sum to eligible people and is paid when a person registered in the scheme finally claims and receives Age Pension.

At June 2008, 11 per cent of people over Age Pension age were working. Of these, 27 per cent received Age Pension while they worked and another 21 per cent were registered in the Pension Bonus Scheme. As at 30 June 2008, 152,316 people had registered in the scheme since it commenced on 1 July 1998.

Extension of fringe benefitsIn 1993, eligibility for the Pensioner Concession Card was extended to all part-rate pensioners and certain older long-term allowance recipients. In response to concerns from the state and territory governments that an increase in the number of eligible card holders

COAG Helping Younger People with Disability in Residential Aged CareThe Australian Government is working with state and territory governments to reduce the number of younger people with disability living in residential aged care services. The program initially targets people under 50 years of age. The program has three objectives: moving younger people with disability currently accommodated in residential aged care into more age-appropriate supported disability accommodation; working to prevent future admissions of younger people with disability into residential aged care; and enhancing the delivery of specialist support services to those younger people with disability for whom residential aged care remains the only available supported accommodation option.

Commonwealth State Territory Disability AgreementThe Commonwealth State Territory Disability Agreement (CSTDA) provides the national framework for the provision of government support services for people with disability. Under the three agreements signed so far, the state and territory governments have responsibility for the planning, policy setting and management of accommodation support, community support, community access and respite care services. The Australian Government has similar responsibilities in relation to employment services for people with disability. The current CSTDA was due to expire on 30 June 2007, but has been extended pending negotiation of a new agreement. Development of a new agreement is underway and is part of the implementation of Specific Purpose Payment Reform.

Chapter 6 Outcome 2 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

Disability Support PensionDisability Support Pension (DSP) is a payment made to people with disability who are unable to work for at least 15 hours per week at or above the relevant minimum wage, or be re-skilled for any work, for more than two years because of their disability. People who were receiving DSP on 10 May 2005, were not affected by the welfare reform changes to the work test and are still subject to the 30 hours per week, unless they lose entitlement to the payment. The payment is income and assets-tested and paid at the same rate as other social security pensions. In March 2008 the $500 Utilities Allowance was extended to DSP recipients.

casE study—rEsPitE suPPort for carErs of young PEoPlE witH sEvErE or Profound disability

Commonwealth Carer Respite Centres and Carelink Centres provide information on community services and support to carers. Centres provide information on community aged care, disability and other support services available locally or anywhere within Australia.

After a severe fall, the mother of a Queensland child with cerebral palsy and an intellectual disability was admitted to hospital. The local Commonwealth Respite and Carelink was contacted as the child’s mother required spinal surgery that would entail four months of hospitalisation and recuperation.

As the child’s father worked until 6pm each day, he required assistance with collecting the child from the special school she attended and caring for her until he returned from work. In consultation with the child’s father, Commonwealth Respite and Carelink negotiated with the Cerebral Palsy League to arrange for a worker already familiar to the family to provide additional respite to the four hours per week they were already providing. With Commonwealth Respite and Carelink contributing a further 10 hours per week, adequate care was provided for the child. This extra assistance minimised financial hardship and enabled the father to continue in his paid employment.

The child’s mother said she was overwhelmed by the support provided to her family and looked forward to returning home and eventually being able to resume care for her daughter.

The Respite and Information Services for Young Carers Program provides respite and information services to young carers under the age of 25 years at risk of prematurely leaving school. Young carers can access up to five hours of home respite a week during the school or study term to complete secondary or vocational equivalent education. They can also access two-week blocks of respite to undertake activities such as studying for exams, training or recreation.

Chapter 7 Outcome 3 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

casE study—a nEw, morE balancEd way of working out cHild suPPort*

Melanie and Nguyen have three children, aged nine, seven and five. The children live mostly with Melanie, but Nguyen cares for them four nights a fortnight. Melanie has an adjusted taxable income of $30,000 and Nguyen of $50,000.

The new child support formula recognises the provision of care as a contribution to the costs of the children. Parents such as Nguyen, who provide between 14 and 34 per cent care, are taken to have met 24 per cent of the costs of the children and their child support payments are adjusted accordingly. This means the new formula better recognises the costs a parent incurs in providing care for their children.

The new child support formula also treats both parents’ incomes more equally in working out child support payments. Previously, a resident parent could earn about $45,505 before their income would be taken into account. The amount was much less for non-resident parents—$15,378. From 1 July 2008, under the new formula, any income either parent earns above $18,252 will be taken into account in working out payments.

Under the new child support formula, Nguyen will pay around $100 a week less child support to Melanie. Nguyen will pay less child support because he is meeting some of the costs associated with caring for the children through providing care for them between 14 and 34 per cent of the time. Melanie’s adjusted taxable income of $30,000 is also considered in the calculation of child support payments.

Importantly, under the changes to be introduced from 1 July 2008, Nguyen will no longer be entitled to share the child related component of FTB Part A for his children. Instead, Melanie will receive all the FTB Part A payment, which will work out to around an additional $140 a week directed to her household. In Melanie’s case, the additional FTB Part A will make up for the reduction in her child support payments.

* This case study is a scenario and is not based on actual persons, living or dead.

Major achievements for 2007–08FaHCSIA supports families and children by developing and implementing policies and programs affecting families, including: family payments, parenting support, child support, family relationship services and Indigenous family violence prevention.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA developed and implemented the following measures to assist families:

Family supportAs part of the Government’s election commitment to implement ‘Early Learning and ◗

Development Services—Parenting Support Services’ for Indigenous families, eight new sites were implemented for these services. These sites are located in Blacktown and Wellington (New South Wales), Central Melbourne (Victoria), South Brisbane (Queensland), Gungahlin (Australian Capital Territory), Launceston (Tasmania), Banksia Grove (Western Australia) and Port Adelaide (South Australia).

Several Budget measures were successfully developed to ensure the family payments ◗

system is made simpler and fairer. The Government’s election commitment to introduce an income limit on Family Tax Benefit Part B from 1 July 2008 was implemented. This measure limits eligibility to families where the primary earner has an annual income of $150,000 or less.

FaHCSIA amended legislation to reverse proposed changes to the treatment of fringe ◗

benefits for family and child care assistance purposes, in response to concerns from the charitable and not-for-profit sector. The proposed change would have disproportionately affected low and middle income working families in the sector.

Baby Bonus measures were implemented to improve payment outcomes for children. ◗

From 1 July 2007, parents have been required to register their child’s birth in order to be eligible for the Baby Bonus and parents under 18 have received their Baby Bonus in 13 fortnightly instalments. Early indications from the Australian Bureau of Statistics are that this requirement has resulted in more timely registration of births with state births, deaths and marriages registries.

From 1 January 2008, Family Assistance for families with triplets or larger multiple births ◗

was extended to allow Multiple Birth Allowance to be paid until children turn 16 years of age, or until the end of the year they turn 18 for eligible full-time students. Multiple Birth Allowance now benefits approximately 1,000 families.

Chapter 7 Outcome 3 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

Child protection and developmentThe Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, ◗

the Hon. Jenny Macklin, MP, released a discussion paper titled Australia’s children: safe and well—a national framework for protecting Australia’s children. The paper is aimed at guiding consultations on options for the development of a national child protection framework.

Consultations on the discussion paper were held across the Australian Government, ◗

with state and territory governments, expert advisory groups, and the community sector. COAG will consider the National Child Protection Framework in December 2008.

In 2008–09, the Government will work in partnership with the Western Australian ◗

Government on a trial that will introduce income management as a tool to help prevent child neglect and improve poor financial literacy skills. In cases where children are being neglected and the parents are receiving welfare payments, the Western Australian Department for Child Protection will be able to ask Centrelink to set up income management arrangements for the parents. The measure will initially be trialled in the Kimberley region and Cannington district of Perth.

The Government is also committed to improving educational outcomes for children ◗

by linking school enrolment and attendance to parents’ welfare payments. From January 2009, a trial will be introduced in six sites in the Northern Territory, the Cannington District in Perth and one other metropolitan site in another state. It will require parents receiving income support payments to tell Centrelink where their children are enrolled, and to take reasonable measures to ensure their children attend school regularly. Parents who fail to do this, or fail to take reasonable steps to ensure attendance, may have their income support payments suspended.

The Family Violence Partnership Program (FVPP), which was originally announced as ◗

a four-year lapsing program, is now ongoing. FaHCSIA funded 32 projects addressing Indigenous family violence under the program, in partnership with state and territory governments.

Achievements of FVPP funded projects in 2007–08 include: the establishment of an ◗

early intervention program for Aboriginal youth in western New South Wales, provision of family support resources in the Yolgnu language for families on Elcho Island in remote Northern Territory, the training of eight local facilitators for remote Northern Territory communities, set-up of ongoing night patrols in several Northern Territory communities, and the provision of kits to Northern Territory schools to raise awareness of family violence.

A scoping study for a major new project based in Kununurra is well advanced. This ◗

project will establish a service hub providing services to Indigenous families in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia.

There were 44 community-based projects that received funding under the Family ◗

Violence Regional Activities Program. Six projects achieved their final goals during 2007–08, including the establishment of safe houses and the delivery of training to community family violence workers.

Early childhoodAs part of the Stronger Families and Communities Strategy, 38 projects were extended to ◗

June 2009, providing early childhood projects and Child Care Links projects.

Communities for Children is a place-based early intervention and prevention approach ◗

to child protection and development. Non-government organisations, called Facilitating Partners, are funded to act as brokers in engaging smaller local organisations to deliver a range of activities in their communities. To align with the other Communities for Children sites, six round one Communities for Children sites were extended, resulting in all 45 sites being finalised in June 2008.

In 2007–08, implementation commenced on the Expansion of Playgroups for Indigenous ◗

Families initiative announced as part of the 2007–08 Budget. This included additional funding for nine existing Intensive Support Playgroups servicing Indigenous families, funding for six new Intensive Support Playgroups and 30 Locational Supported Playgroups (LSPs) to be implemented over four years to 2010–11.

The new LSP model was developed in 2007–08 through consultation with key ◗

stakeholders. Sites for four ISPs and 13 LSPs were identified and approved in 2007–08.

Family servicesIn 2007–08, the roll-out and expansion of the New Family Law System support services ◗

across Australia was completed in partnership with the Attorney-General’s Department. A total of 27 new early intervention services commenced operation this year, with a further 22 services selected during the year to start from 1 July 2008.

During 2007–08, ongoing funding was approved for the Family Relationship Services ◗

Program (FRSP) and National Illicit Drug Strategy (NIDS) Strengthening Families Program providers. As a consequence, many existing funding agreements have been renewed or extended, with a further round of renewals scheduled for 2008–09.

In April 2008, the Government announced a $3.101m extension of funding to current ◗

NIDS Strengthening Families providers for 2008–09.

The Social and Emotional Drought Counselling (Drought Counselling) program was ◗

concluded at the end of 2007–08. It has been replaced by the $10.3 million Family Support Drought Response Teams (FSDRT) initiative, which will deliver an expanded counselling and family support service to people in Exceptional Circumstances (EC) declared areas.

Twenty-four FSDRT providers were selected to provide a more comprehensive network of ◗

services and greater coverage of EC declared areas that will extend to outreach and crisis intervention services.

Chapter 7 Outcome 3 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

The industry representative body, Family Relationship Services Australia, was fully ◗

established in August 2007. This followed an extended consultation process between the Department and the family relationships sector, which worked closely to create a representative body that reflected the needs of the sector into the future.

Child support reformsIn collaboration with the Child Support Agency, Centrelink and the Department of Human ◗

Services, the Department implemented Stage 3 of the child support reforms. This final stage of the reforms, which commenced on 1 July 2008, followed Stages 1 and 2 implemented in July 2006 and January 2007 respectively.

Stage 3 of the child support reforms introduced the majority of reforms, including the ◗

new formula for calculating child support liabilities. The new formula is based on the costs of children and treats both parents’ incomes in the same way. It better recognises the costs of contact and shared care and treats children from first and second families more equally.

Other key measures in Stage 3 include: ◗

more flexible arrangements, with better protection for parents who want to make –agreements between themselves about the payment of child support

payment of minimum assessments per child support case, rather than being divided –between cases

deductions of child support arrears from Centrelink and other Government pensions –and payments

changes to the treatment of income from overtime and second jobs for three years –following separation to assist parents re-establish themselves financially

a $20 per child fixed payment for parents who report unreasonably low incomes but –do not claim income support.

The new child support formula is also accompanied by new eligibility rules for Family ◗

Tax Benefit (FTB) in cases of shared care. FTB is no longer split between parents where care is less than 35 per cent. This is because the costs of care below 35 per cent are now recognised in the child support formula and also because it is recognised that the resident parent has ongoing costs while the children are residing with the other parent.

The establishment of the Child Support National Stakeholder Engagement Group in ◗

November 2007 was also an important milestone, enabling FaHCSIA, the Child Support Agency and the Attorney-General’s Department to regularly engage key stakeholders on issues about child support and family law policy.

casE study—family rElationsHiP sErvicEs for carErs (frsc)

Where families caring for a family member with disability need support, the Government funds community-based organisations through the Family Relationship Services Program to assist them.

Under the FRSC initiative, delivered in Victoria by Eastern Access Community Health (EACH), assistance was provided to a family when a parent who had been caring for their adult disabled son was no longer able to carry on this caring role.

The elderly parent, with four adult children, was caring for their disabled son at home. The son has full cognition and is very aware of what is going on, but is confined to a wheelchair and needs support with lifting and transfers. The parent has been diagnosed with a progressive illness that will soon affect their caring ability.

Since diagnosis, the other siblings have realised that family arrangements would have to change. They felt they needed to find out information around planning for the future.

All the siblings met with an FRSC Coordinator who provided them with the resource Planning for the Future: People with Disability and discussed what was needed in the form of further referrals for legal and financial advice. All siblings reported that their disabled brother was feeling stressed about the situation with their parent and felt that he needed to speak with a counsellor about his concerns.

The FRSC Coordinator organised for a counsellor, experienced in working with disabled people, to be contracted under the FRSC brokerage to work with the son. The counsellor worked with the disabled son over several months. This counselling enabled the son to talk about concerns for his future and about his parent’s health.

The siblings now have a better understanding of how to support their brother and of the situation with their parent. They have also been able to make other arrangements for the future, including the writing of a will. With input from their brother, they have worked out the things that he needs for his future care.

family rElationsHiP sErvicEs Program—mEnslinE australia

The Family Relationship Services Program (FRSP) funds community organisations to deliver a range of services to assist children, young people and adults to develop and maintain positive family relationships.

FaHCSIA provides funding to Mensline Australia through the FRSP.

Mensline Australia is a national program that provides professional telephone counselling support, as well as information and referral to men with family and relationship issues. The telephone service is available at all hours for the cost of a local call.

Many callers to the service are dealing with feelings of grief and loss which may be associated with divorce or separation. A recent caller to the service provided the following feedback:

‘I rang the helpline and found the counsellor to be very helpful. He was a great listener, because I said a lot for him to take in and he had the right things to say at the right times and he was able to reassure me. He also told me the hard things that I didn’t want to believe but knew to be true. Mensline Australia has given me greater confidence in myself and what I am trying to achieve. It’s great that these services are available. At 47, I am proud that I have been able to put aside the attitudes that I was brought up with and use this service. Thank you.’

Challenges in 2007–08The implementation of the Child Support Scheme Reforms has presented many challenges for the Department. In the lead-up to implementation, extensive collaboration was required between relevant agencies to finalise policy details for regulations, operational guidelines and IT systems linkage between the Child Support Agency and Centrelink. To complete this work, inter-agency meetings were conducted to ensure consideration of all policy and related service delivery implications. Cross-agency working groups also reported monthly on activities to the central steering committee, to provide a coordinated approach to implementation.

Developing and implementing projects that address family violence and child abuse in Indigenous communities is a complex task. The logistical challenges of service delivery in remote communities—including staff recruitment and training, provision of premises and accommodation, transport, and climatic conditions—all need careful consideration

Page 202: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

when planning new services. These factors, combined with the time needed to engage communities in Family Violence Regional Activities Program (FVRAP) and Family Violence Partnership Program (FVPP) projects, can create lengthy lead times, which often result in project timeframes needing to be extended.

The Family Relationship Services Program (FRSP) online application is a secure, web-based application accessed through the internet. The application records service delivery and is the means by which service providers and the Department assess performance against client targets. The continued development and implementation of the application, and the associated reporting portal during 2007–08, has been a challenge. FaHCSIA continues to work with the family relationship services sector to ensure it has effective and timely data that respects the privacy of all parties.

During 2007–08, the Department, in conjunction with the Attorney-General’s Department and the sector, continued developing the FRSP performance framework to better measure the effectiveness of programs in addressing family matters. Identifying and measuring the direct, medium and longer-term benefits associated with early intervention services continues to be a challenge.

Challenges have been faced in the delivery of the Communities for Children program in rural and remote areas due to difficulties in contracting or retaining service providers in areas where there are few providers available. In these instances, methods and timeframes for delivery have been renegotiated, with some service delivery being completed by the local non-government organisation that is funded by the Department to manage Communities for Children in the area. In other cases, the retention of funds into subsequent financial years has been approved to allow activities to be completed once a local service provider has been identified.

Contributions to achievement of Outcome 3 for 2007–08Providing financial assistance to families to help with the costs of children, including newborns, in a way that recognises the needs and choices of both single and dual income families, and the particular circumstances of very young mothersIn 2007–08, payment of the Baby Bonus was introduced as 13 fortnightly instalments, for under 18 year olds and income managed families, to ensure that assistance for parents of newborns will help address the challenges they face in caring for very young children.

Further targeting of the Baby Bonus was announced in the 2008–09 Budget. Payment in 13 fortnightly instalments will be extended to all families from 1 January 2009, in conjunction with the introduction of an income test on family income in the six months

following the birth of a baby, or the adoption of a child under the age of 16 years. The income test will limit eligibility to families with an income of $75,000 or less in the six month period after the birth or adoption of a child (equivalent to $150,000 per year).

In May 2008, the Government announced an inquiry into Australia’s Future Tax System to review assistance to working families. The tax review will focus on improvements to the tax and transfer systems to ensure appropriate incentives for workforce participation and skill formation and will include an assessment of family payments.

In June 2008, FaHCSIA provided a detailed submission to assist the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into paid maternity leave. The Productivity Commission inquiry will identify paid maternity and parental leave models and assess their cost effectiveness and impact on families and business.

A measure was announced in the 2008–09 Budget to reduce Family Tax Benefit (FTB) debts caused by families not confirming their actual income for the financial year through the lodgement of their tax returns. Families who incur ‘non-lodger‘ debts will lose access to their fortnightly FTB payments until they lodge outstanding tax returns, or inform Centrelink that they are not required to do so.

It was also announced in the 2008–09 Budget that families’ tax refunds and FTB top-up payments will be used to offset any type of FTB debt. To ensure that these debts can be resolved as quickly as possible once tax returns are lodged, the length of time that the Australian Taxation Office is able to transfer income details to Centrelink will be extended.

Helping support and strengthen families through the provision of services to enhance family relationships, assist in problem solving, prevent family breakdown and resolve conflict around separation, provide support for families of drug users, and reduce family violence, particularly in Indigenous communitiesThe Family Relationship Services Program early intervention service supports and strengthens families by providing an integrated set of service activities, such as information and support, counselling, education and assessment to enhance family relationships, assist in problem solving, prevent family breakdown and resolve conflict around separation.

The National Illicit Drugs Strategy (NIDS) Strengthening Families Program takes an early intervention and family-focused approach to dealing with the impacts of substance abuse on families. Following an independent evaluation this year, the Department has been working towards better connecting the work of the NIDS Strengthening Families Program to the broader family relationship and mental health sector. Eighteen community organisations currently deliver 19 projects that provide access to services for families experiencing drug and alcohol related issues.

The Government funds two programs specifically aimed at preventing and addressing Indigenous family violence—the Family Violence Partnership Program (FVPP) and the Family Violence Regional Activities Program (FVRAP). Both programs are ongoing and continue to assist and support Indigenous families and communities to break the cycle of violence. Current FVRAP projects are now funded for three years to allow the service providers to continue to deliver these services to the communities.

Focusing on early childhood (0–5 years of age) through early intervention, prevention and capacity‑building initiatives to support and strengthen Australian families, and working with local communities to identify solutions to their local issuesThe Communities for Children program takes a place-based early intervention and prevention approach to child protection and development. The program supports and strengthens Australian families, and works with local communities to build their capacity to deliver services locally and solve local issues.

intEnsivE suPPort PlaygrouPs

Intensive Support Playgroups (ISPs) are initiated and facilitated by skilled family support and early childhood workers who deliver mobile playgroup services across a number of sites in urban, regional, and remote areas. These playgroups provide a safe environment in which to promote positive early childhood development methods, contributing to increased child safety and wellbeing.

The Family Support Workers provide extensive support to families by linking them with a wide range of community services and addressing issues that are adversely impacting on the caregiver’s capacity to parent effectively.

Several remote communities in northern Australia are working collaboratively with service providers to successfully operate ISPs.

One particular community has provided the playgroup with a classroom venue, which they then cleaned and decorated. Playgroup attendance is now regular and the community are proud of their achievements. At this particular playgroup, a carer who attends with a two-year-old family member is very happy as staff are encouraging the child to learn to read. The carer said that this was in turn encouraging the child’s mother to learn to read also.

Early Development and Learning Services—Parenting SupportIndigenous Parenting Support Services (IPSS) is a Government election commitment to implement new Early Learning and Development Services—Parenting Support for Indigenous families. This $16.6 million initiative will strengthen parenting skills and support the development, learning and wellbeing of Indigenous children. The services will be integrated into existing platforms such as child care centres, schools, Aboriginal health centres and other related services, to provide Indigenous families with access to enhanced parenting support.

IPSS will increase the number of Indigenous families and children that have access to parent-child services, with a particular focus on families with children aged zero to two years. Services will be offered to Indigenous families in safe and informal settings and will provide referrals to other services as required. The services will help Indigenous parents overcome barriers to good family relationships and support them through their children’s transition to child care, pre-school and primary school.

EvaluationsEvaluation of the new Family Law Reform packageUnder the auspice of the Attorney-General’s Department (AGD), the evaluation of the New Family Law System commenced during 2007–08. The evaluation is being undertaken by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS), and builds on pre-reform data to provide a clearer picture of the impact of the law reform package.

The evaluation was expanded during the year to examine the combined impacts of the family law and child support reforms on Australian families. AIFS is due to provide interim reports to AGD and FaHCSIA on the evaluation and research activities by the end of 2009. The survey data will be supplemented by an analysis of administrative data that has been collected to measure and report on key components of the reforms.

Child Support Reforms EvaluationThe reforms to the child support system included resources to conduct research and improve knowledge about child support in Australia and to monitor the reforms. These activities are being combined to generate administrative and survey data that can form the basis of evaluative analyses of the reforms in the future.

A major survey of around 5,000 child support parents was conducted in 2007–08, by the Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute within the Australian National University. The survey collected information about the circumstances of child support customers and their children before the new formula commenced on 1 July 2008, as well as broader information about the circumstances and attitudes of parents in the child support system.

casE study—raising cHildrEn nEtwork

FaHCSIA funds the national parenting website, Raising Children Network (www.raisingchildren.net.au) under the parenting appropriation—Output Group 3.2. It is provided by a non-profit consortium of the Parenting Research Centre, the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute’s Centre for Community Child Health, and the Smart Population Foundation.

Since its launch in May 2006, the website has attracted 8 million visits, with an average of 380,000 visits per month. The website is for parents, caregivers and professionals seeking comprehensive, quality-assured and user-friendly information about raising children from birth to eight years of age.

The Raising Children DVD, a companion to the website, is provided to all new parents in the Government’s New Parent Pack. Together, the DVD and website offer inclusive and engaging information about parenting during the crucial early years of child development.

Professionals who work with families, or who plan, manage and provide service delivery, can access materials on ‘Working with Parents’—including practice resources, seminar papers, research articles and links to services and other professionals.

‘The Raising Children website is marked as one of my favourite websites so that I can quickly and easily refer to it, and encourage parents to refer to it, during consultations. I routinely promote the Raising Children Network website to parents at their child’s four-week Key Age and Stage visit, so that they are aware the website provides current and accurate information for parents of young children. The topics I often access myself include: introduction to solids, recipes and meal ideas, appropriate use of child car restraints and travelling with babies and young children. The illustrations are great: bright and informative.’

IPSS will increase the number of Indigenous families and children that have access to parent-child services, with particular focus on families with children aged zero to two years. These services will be offered to Indigenous families in safe and informal settings, and referrals to other services will be provided as required. They will help Indigenous parents overcome barriers to good family relationships and support them through their children’s transitions to child care, pre-school and primary school.

Expansion of Playgroups for Indigenous Families Initiative

The 2007–08 Budget included Expansion of Playgroups for Indigenous Families (EPIF) funding of an additional $13.8 million over four years to the Playgroup Program. This measure includes expansion of the current Intensive Support Playgroup (ISP) model, which delivers mobile facilitated playgroup services across a number of sites.

The expansion provided $4.264 million of administered funds for six additional ISPs in regional Australia and $1.415 million of administered funds to increase funding to nine current ISP sites which service Indigenous communities.

In addition, $5.783 million of administered funds were provided for the introduction of the Locational Supported Playgroup (LSP) model, which will extend the flexibility of the Playgroup Program. This model will provide longer-term support in order to build the capacity and effectiveness of parents and caregivers in vulnerable communities. A total of 30 LSPs will be implemented over the next four years for Indigenous families in regional Australia.

Baby BonusBaby Bonus is a flat-rate payment made to families following the birth of a baby or adoption of a child up to two years old. The payment recognises the extra costs associated with the birth or adoption of a child and is not income tested. Although usually paid as a lump sum, in cases where family assistance is income managed or where claimants are under 18 years of age, the payment can only be paid in instalments. Parents must apply to register the baby’s birth to be eligible for the Baby Bonus.

On 1 July 2008, the Baby Bonus increased from $4,258 to $5,000. From 1 January 2009, it will be income tested and paid in 13 fortnightly instalments. The payment will also be available for adopted children up to the age of 16 years.

Chapter 8 Outcome 4 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

casE study—family incomE managEmEnt Program

Educating families to better manage their money plays a key role in establishing a better financial foundation for the future of their children and their communities. Family Income Management (FIM) enables Indigenous people to develop fundamental capabilities that will position them to better manage their circumstance, and prepare them to participate economically in their community.

A family from Aurukun (Northern Territory), who signed with the FIM program in May 2007, achieved their goal of purchasing a boat in January 2008. Through working together, the family achieved this goal in record time. The two brothers and three sisters agreed on the amount they would each contribute on a weekly basis and established their own rules about the management of the account. It was agreed that it would be overseen by the brothers. This was a great achievement for the family and provides a positive example for other families in the community.

The family regularly checked their balance and were thrilled with how quickly their savings increased. By January 2008, the family had managed to save $5,000. The boat they wanted to purchase was $6,500 but, given the deposit they had, the shop allowed them to have it and arranged for the family to make part-payments for the remainder of the balance.

After purchasing the boat the family said, ‘The kids are really happy to have this boat. You should have seen them when it arrived. They went crazy for the boat and want to go out all the time in it. The kids want to go out so they can go swimming off the sand banks, while the men want to go chasing Barramundi and crabs! We would really like to thank FIM and will definitely be starting up a new savings plan for new flooring in the boat and some extra safety gear.’

FaHCSIA has an active role in facilitating the Commonwealth Land Audit, which demonstrates the Government’s commitment to releasing surplus Commonwealth land for new housing, job creation and community development.

As part of this commitment, a revamped land release policy will require all government agencies to show why surplus land should not be released for the benefit of local communities. The Government is currently considering what land is available and the best way to achieve more housing, community amenities and jobs.

Additionally, the Department has developed and implemented other measures to address housing and homelessness issues, through:

the establishment of the Housing Group within the Department, comprising the Office of ◗

Housing, to coordinate housing policy and programs; the Affordable Housing Branch, to implement major Housing programs aimed at increasing housing affordability, and the Homelessness Taskforce to address homelessness issues

the release of the Green Paper on Homelessness, ◗ Which Way Home? A New Approach to Homelessness in May 2008 and undertaking national consultations to inform the development of a White Paper on homelessness

Austudy recipients.

Support for communitiesFaHCSIA supports the development of strong and resilient communities by supporting financial management and volunteers, working with communities and individuals in crisis—including as a result of natural or man-made disasters—and promoting community partnerships.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA’s key achievements for supporting communities were:

responding quickly to community need by providing $10.4 million through the Australian ◗

Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP) to more than 9,100 people adversely affected by major flooding in Queensland in January and February 2008

providing $37.7 million in recovery assistance to more than 31,500 people following the ◗

June 2007 Hunter and Central Coast (NSW) storms and floods—the largest outlay for a single disaster since the AGDRP was introduced

at a glancE—a PlacE to call HomE

Over the next five years, the Australian Government has committed $150 million to assist more homeless families and individuals to move into housing. Through the A Place to Call Home measure, approximately 600 new homes will be built and added to the public housing pool.

This measure means that many families and individuals can move straight into housing, instead of seeking accommodation at a refuge or other emergency accommodation.

Tenancy and other forms of support will be provided for the first 12 months and tenants will not have to leave at the end of the support period. It is hoped that this funding, along with other government and non-government strategies, will help to ensure homeless individuals and families get the support they need to permanently break the cycle of homelessness.

Challenges in 2007–08Implementing the Australian Government’s housing and homelessness agendasThe affordability and availability of housing is a key social and economic challenge facing Australian society. FaHCSIA has responsibility for implementing a range of measures to address housing affordability, rental affordability and homelessness.

Through the Council of Australian Governments, FaHCSIA is working with state and territory governments to define the scope of the new National Affordable Housing Agreement.

Historically, low rental vacancy rates, coupled with significant rent increases, have affected affordability in the private rental sector across much of Australia. FaHCSIA is implementing the Government’s National Rental Affordability Scheme, which aims to encourage institutional investment in lower-cost rental accommodation.

FaHCSIA is working with the Department of Finance and Deregulation to revamp the Government policy for disposal of surplus land, requiring all government agencies to show why surplus land should not be released for the benefit of local communities.

Machinery of government changes required restructuring within the Department to implement the Government’s housing and homelessness agendas.

Working effectively with Australian Government agencies, state and local governments on community recoveryThe Australian Government Disaster Recovery Committee, which FaHCSIA chairs, is achieving active engagement with Australian Government agencies and state and local governments on community recovery. Strong working relationships are maintained with state and local governments through the FaHCSIA Regional Network and membership of state-level disaster recovery sub-committees.

Remaining responsive to community needs and government decisionsFaHCSIA ensures its payments, recovery policy and initiatives remain responsive to community needs. The Department achieves this by reviewing its payments and policy on an ongoing basis, seeking feedback from the community and government agencies and applying the results to new recovery projects.

The rollout of income management in the Northern Territory was supported by the provision of short-term money management, community education workshops, basic budgeting support and referral to financial counselling and emergency relief services.

casE study—building PartnErsHiPs witH tHE ngos

Established in 2007, the Not-For-Profit Advisory Group (NFPAG) plays an important role in assisting the Australian Government to build stronger, sustainable links with the community sector to manage disaster recovery. Its 15 members represent a range of organisations, including Anglicare, Lifeline Australia, Volunteering Australia and the Salvation Army.

The aim of the group is to harness expertise, facilitate exchange of information and improve understanding of the roles of the Government and not-for-profit sectors in building community capacity and supporting community recovery from critical events and disasters.

In 2007–08, the NFPAG contributed to FaHCSIA’s work in pandemic influenza preparedness policy and with the development of a statement of relevance of the National Principles for Disaster Recovery for the not-for-profit sector.

Effective disaster recovery requires all possible expertise to be harnessed. Through its involvement with the NFPAG, Anglicare indicates it is better able to contribute to strategic thinking and planning for disaster recovery services throughout the country.

Doug Philpott, Manager, Emergency Services, Anglicare, says that this was the case when reviewing the Australian Government Disaster Recovery services following the Hunter and Central Coast storms and floods in June 2007.

‘My role is primarily as a channel of information representing Anglicare. We have some voice with government thinking and planning for disaster recovery. It is always good to build and maintain relationships with community partners…it is equally good to maintain awareness of the broader issues of disaster recovery and the players involved.’

FaHCSIA is responsible for the policy aspects of the Commonwealth Rent Assistance program. During 2007–08, the Department provided a wide range of policy advice to Centrelink.

The Department is working with state and territory officials to define the scope of the new National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA), including more integrated models of service delivery that impact on housing affordability, into a single housing agreement from 1 January 2009.

Providing support services to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessnessThe Green Paper on Homelessness, Which Way Home? A New Approach to Homelessness, has been released to promote discussion about how to address the problem of homelessness. This will be followed by a White Paper that will include a comprehensive national action plan to reduce the number of homeless Australians.

22 May 2008—Following the launch of the Government’s Homelessness Green Paper—Which Way Home? A New Approach to Homelessness, Minister for Housing and Minister for the Status of Women, the Hon. Tanya Plibersek, MP, visited The Common Ground, Adelaide, which provides affordable accommodation for people with low incomes, in particular providing supported accommodation for people who are homeless.

Chapter 8 Outcome 4 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

The availability of transitional, supported accommodation and related support services through the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP), under a joint Commonwealth, state and territory agreement, aims to help people who are homeless to achieve self-reliance and independence.

In 2007–08, the program continued to focus on three strategic priorities. These are to:

increase involvement in early intervention and prevention strategies ◗

provide better assistance to people who have multiple support needs ◗

provide ongoing assistance to ensure stability for clients post-crisis. ◗

Contracts for service providers implementing the Household Organisational Management Expenses (HOME) Advice Program have been extended until 30 June 2009.

Supporting community agencies to assist people who are in financial crisis through the provision of emergency relief and financial counselling servicesIn 2007–08, the Emergency Relief Program provided funding for community and charitable organisations across Australia to deliver to people in financial crisis. This was achieved through the provision of financial and other emergency assistance, which included funding for the training and support of emergency relief workers, such as privacy training, development of Indigenous-specific training materials and Mental Health First Aid training.

The Emergency Relief Program also provided additional funding to emergency relief providers in exceptional circumstances within drought-declared areas to support their emergency relief activities.

In March 2008, the Department conducted a survey of Emergency Relief service providers to gain a better understanding of their data collection methods and the ways in which the Department could support the sector to enhance these methods.

Under the Commonwealth Financial Counselling program, community and local government organisations across Australia were funded to provide free financial counselling services for people experiencing personal financial difficulties. This included funding to organisations in Queensland and New South Wales for individuals and families in the sugar industry who were experiencing financial crises. Funding was also provided to resource support services for financial counsellors from Commonwealth Financial Counselling organisations.

Fostering the improved use and management of money through community‑based family income management projects and financial counselling servicesFinancial management services provide disadvantaged individuals, families and communities who are financially vulnerable, or at risk of becoming financially vulnerable, with the tools and resources to manage financial crisis and overcome hardship. The services aim for better financial management skills and knowledge that will reduce debt, increase net assets and increase financial self-reliance.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA funded service providers to deliver training that will increase financial management skills. The training will enable those with little or no budgeting skills to better manage their expenses and eventually move towards more sophisticated means of managing money, such as loans and investments.

Undertaking research to inform policies to reduce problem gambling, particularly those policies which advance the objectives of the National Framework on Problem Gambling 2004–2008Gambling Research Australia (GRA) is an initiative of the Ministerial Council on Gambling (MCG). It is funded and managed by the Australian and state and territory governments to undertake research on gambling related issues. In 2007–08, GRA undertook research on youth, children at risk, pre-commitment to spend strategies, predictors of relapse in problem gambling, the influence of venue characteristics on a player’s decision to attend a gambling venue, gambling and the impact of new and emerging technologies and associated products, and understanding gambling in indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Providing tailored disaster recovery assistance to individuals, families and communities in response to natural disasters and other critical incidents of national consequenceFaHCSIA provides tailored assistance to Australian individuals, families and communities adversely affected by disasters or critical incidents. The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment was introduced in December 2006 and has been activated nine times, injecting around $50 million into communities affected by floods, bushfires, and cyclones.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA also provided financial assistance to people involved in commercial horse-dependent industries whose income had been reduced due to the equine influenza outbreak. Some 6,202 claims for the Equine Workers Hardship Wage Supplement Payment were granted, totalling $6.1 million.

In 2007–08, ex-gratia assistance continued to be provided to support rehabilitation for those affected by the Bali Bombings.

Developing and coordinating policy advice, activities and a whole‑of‑government approach to community recovery from disasters and critical incidentsThe Government, working within the parameters of the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Arrangements, may support the states and territories through tailored assistance appropriate to the circumstances.

The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Committee, chaired by FaHCSIA, provides advice to enable the Government to effectively coordinate recovery assistance for both natural and man-made disasters. FaHCSIA also links into the community sector through its not-for-profit Advisory Group, which comprises 15 community organisations.

The National Emergency Call Centre capability was established in July 2007. It brings together Australian Government call centre staff from five agencies and is able to provide a single point of contact for enquiries from the public in the event of a disaster of national consequence.

FaHCSIA is taking a proactive approach to building community capacity and strengthening community resilience. This is being achieved through the development of practical assistance to better manage and recover from the social and economic impacts of a major disaster or critical incident. FaHCSIA will develop an all-hazards community resilience strategy in 2008–09.

Funding programs and activities and providing grants to develop community capacity to identify and resolve local issues, explore opportunities, and hold greater economic self‑reliance, strength and resilience in areas of greatest needLocal Answers helps to strengthen disadvantaged communities by funding local, small-scale projects that help communities develop parenting and relationship skills and enable families and communities to build self-reliance. The program also helps individuals to increase involvement in their community through volunteering, mentoring or training to build leadership skills. Projects funded through Local Answers are primarily selected based on the level of disadvantage in the community and how the project would assist these communities to develop self-reliance.

The Department received a high volume of applications for grants through Local Answers and the Volunteer Grants Program (VGP). With the increase in demand, the challenge for the Department was to determine and make the best use of departmental resources to deliver these programs efficiently. In 2007–08, both programs were delivered through the FaHCSIA Online Funding Management System, which streamlined the process considerably.

The VGP provided funding to not-for-profit community organisations for the purchase of small equipment items to support volunteers whose work contributes to developing stronger families and strengthening community participation.

Funding projects to encourage and facilitate social participation and inclusion in communitiesSince 2004, Local Answers has funded over 600 community-based projects through an open selection process. These projects have fostered and encouraged social participation and inclusion through the use of local ideas and knowledge to develop effective, practical solutions specific to individual communities and their needs.

Helping people to become involved in their community through supporting volunteering and providing training to build community leadership and initiativeThe Volunteer Management Program encourages community participation through Volunteer Resource Centres that connect individuals with volunteering opportunities, provide them with training and assist community organisations with the management of volunteers.

Funding for the VGP helps organisations purchase small equipment and sporting items to make the work of their volunteers safer, easier and more enjoyable. This encourages participation in sporting activities in the community and supports and encourages volunteering.

The Volunteer Grants Program (VGP), administered by FaHCSIA, provides funding to not-for-profit community groups to purchase equipment in support of their volunteers. It also provides funding for community sporting organisations, particularly groups that support and encourage the involvement of children. The Government recognises the hard work of volunteers and in 2007–08 increased the VGP appropriation to fund more organisations.

VGP funding for equipment allows communities to support their clubs and organisations in other ways, rather than just helping to pay for the equipment.

Portland Colts Cricket Club

The Portland Colts Cricket Club was founded over 130 years ago. The club teaches their members cricket skills, sportsmanship, teamwork, honesty and fair play. The club gives back to the community by supporting events such as the Relay for Life cancer walkathon.

Portland Colts Cricket Club received funding to purchase a computer and printer. This assists their volunteers by allowing all members, in particular the younger members, to be involved in the administration of the club. The administration has become more computer-oriented, with registration, results and the sports ladder all available online. The computer also allows the use of cricket scoring software.

Hamilton Base Hospital Opportunity Shop

Hamilton Base Hospital Opportunity Shop has raised funds for the hospital for 71 years and is staffed by volunteers. Each week, the volunteers prepare donated items and provide companionship and friendship for each other.

Hamilton Base Hospital Opportunity Shop received funding for an ironing press, front load washer and clothes dryer to assist volunteers in washing, drying and ironing donated clothes. The equipment will enable the volunteers to prepare the clothes for sale in the Opportunity Shop.

FaHCSIA has built the capacity of non-government organisations through disseminating pandemic business continuity kits and conducting a series of workshops in the first half of 2008. Forty-one workshops were run across Australia and NGOs commented on the usefulness of the workshops in assisting their business continuity preparations.

Volunteer Small Equipment Grants—expansionAn additional $12.8 million (administered) was provided under the Volunteer Small Equipment Grants Program, now known as the Volunteer Grants Program (VGP). VGP provides funding to not-for-profit community groups to purchase equipment in support of their volunteers, recognising their hard work in the community.

casE study—QuEEnsland virtually undEr watEr

In January 2008, the cumulative impact of significant rainfall throughout Northern Queensland led to major flooding throughout most of the state. Two-thirds of Queensland (1.2 million square kilometres) was affected by the flooding, with 43 local government areas declared as natural disaster zones at that time. Within days, this had increased to 55 disaster-declared local government authority areas.

Then in February, Mackay and its surrounding regions endured some of the most severe rainfall ever recorded in Australia, with over 600mm falling within six hours. Up to 4,000 homes in the town were affected by the worst floodwaters in 90 years.

The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP) was activated to assist more than 9,100 individuals in the affected communities to recover from the floods.

A Mackay family with young children suffered flood damage to their home and their washing machine was destroyed. This created a major problem due to the daily volume of nappies and clothing that required washing. Having resorted to using a commercial laundromat, their washing was costing them up to $20 per day. The family applied for and was granted the AGDRP, which enabled them to buy a new washing machine.

This AGDRP payment is one example of ways in which the Government provides practical disaster assistance to families who are undergoing traumatic and stressful events.

strengths and weaknesses. The evaluation developed a set of good practice principles to guide the development and implementation of future target group-specific, and time-limited, financial counselling programs.

MoneyBusinessAn evaluation of money management services operating in remote and regional Indigenous communities is planned for 2008–09.

Review of the Australian Government Disaster Recovery PaymentFaHCSIA conducted an internal review of the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment during 2007–08. The findings will inform future policy and operational refinements. Recommendations will be implemented in 2008–09.

Development of the disaster recovery evaluation frameworkAn evaluation framework was developed to measure the effectiveness of Australian Government disaster recovery assistance packages. Consultation with Australian Government Disaster Recovery Committee member agencies was undertaken in developing the framework.

The Tropical Cyclone Larry disaster recovery assistance package was used to trial the effectiveness of the framework. Findings from the trial supported the evaluation framework being an effective means to assess the whole-of-government decision-making arrangements and processes surrounding disaster recovery assistance. The framework will help improve future disaster recovery policy, payments, and delivery of services.

Household Organisational Management ExpensesThe final evaluation of Household Organisational Management Expense (HOME) Advice, completed in 2008, focused on three themes:

establishing the need for a response to family homelessness, due predominantly to a ◗

multitude of issues leading to financial crisis and the prospect of homelessness

the effectiveness of the HOME Advice Program in preventing at-risk families ◗

becoming homeless

the efficiency of the program to deliver these outcomes for families. ◗

The evaluation found that 92 per cent of families assisted by the HOME Advice Program remained in their homes, or were able to improve their housing. The program was found to be effective and efficient in preventing family homelessness. The evaluation recommended a national expansion of the program.

strongEr familiEs and communitiEs stratEgy—strong young mums in bourkE

An early intervention and family support service for young mothers and their children in Bourke, called the Strong Young Mums Program, has been made possible through Local Answers program funding. Local Answers helps strengthen disadvantaged communities by funding local, small scale, time-limited projects that help communities build parenting and relationship skills, and assist families and communities to become more self-reliant.

Run by Centacare, the Strong Young Mums Program is not designed specifically for Indigenous clients, but over 90 per cent of the participants are Indigenous. It targets mothers aged between 15 and 25 years and aims to provide community engagement, social and emotional support and accredited training.

The program teaches positive parenting techniques, provides a home visiting service for practical support, and establishes peer groups to help participants encourage one another.

Another key aim of the program is to assist all women to attain Year 10 or 12 equivalency certificates. TAFE runs a course which helps reintroduce them to a classroom environment, given that many have had broken or minimal prior education. Child care is available during the course, which serves to enhance social skills and early learning opportunities for the children.

Cooking, nutrition and clothing production courses are also run to help establish self-sufficiency and improved health outcomes. The Strong Young Mums Program fills an important need in the Bourke community, attracting strong referrals and achieving positive results. It has also been awarded the Norma Parker Award through Catholic Social Services for being their most innovative program.

The Government is committed to reducing economic and social disadvantage, and in supporting socially-inclusive communities.

The Young Women’s Christian Association of Adelaide Inc received Local Answers program funding to continue the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program in the Adelaide metropolitan area. The project assists at-risk young people aged 7–13 to develop social support networks and enhance their interpersonal skills by matching eligible young people with mentors.

The project increases the self-confidence and relationship skills of the young people through supportive adult mentoring and role modelling. It provides support to their parents to improve family interactions and reduce their isolation. It also builds the foundations for a stronger and more self-reliant community by fostering volunteer opportunities and increasing community awareness of mentoring.

Over the last four years, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program has worked with more than 40 young people. Parents have reported improved behaviour and academic performance. The Big Brothers, Big Sisters program won both the National and State National Australia Bank Volunteering Awards for 2007.

Homelessness and HousingHomelessness and Housing initiatives aim to reduce homelessness and improve housing affordability. These aims are pursued through housing policy, innovative approaches to reducing homelessness, and by helping families to maintain housing through early intervention, financial counselling and other support.

In 2008–09, new measures to reduce homelessness and improve housing affordability will be introduced. Measures include: the National Affordable Housing Agreement, a comprehensive agreement providing a more integrated approach to housing service delivery; the Housing Affordability Fund, which will provide funding for local government infrastructure to streamline regulatory processes; and the A Place to Call Home initiative, which will provide 600 new houses for homeless Australians. The National Rental Affordability Scheme will provide rental housing to low and moderate income families at 20 per cent below market rents.

National Homelessness Strategy

The National Homelessness Strategy provides funding for demonstration projects that show leadership in the development of best practice approaches to preventing, reducing or responding to homelessness. The strategy focuses on improved collaboration, linkages, better integrated service delivery and community capacity building; as well as communication activities that improve linkages, share knowledge, raise awareness and promote best practice in the homelessness sector.

The demonstration projects and communication activities are targeted at groups affected by homelessness such as families, youth, women, men and Indigenous people. The projects and activities are individually evaluated and final reports provide a wealth of information on the causes of, and best practice models for, alleviating homelessness.

Rent AssistanceRent Assistance is a non-taxable income supplement payable to individuals and families who receive income support payments or an amount of Family Tax Benefit Part A (FTB Part A) greater than the base rate, and who pay rent in the private rental market. Rent Assistance is paid to private renters, in recognition of the generally higher costs faced by people in private rental housing, who do not benefit from the longer-term financial benefits of home ownership or the income based rents and security of tenure enjoyed by public housing tenants.

Chapter 8 Outcome 4 Part 2 performance reporting FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008

casE study—national HomElEssnEss stratEgy—brigHt futurEs dEmonstration ProjEct

Australian Government funding, provided through FaHCSIA’s National Homelessness Strategy, assists agencies to develop effective and practical support programs that help children and others in society who are homeless.

As part of the strategy, demonstration projects have been funded which trial and assess new assistance processes, share knowledge, raise awareness and/or promote best practice models.

Merri Outreach Support Services (MOSS) has accessed this funding to develop a specialist case management service delivery model that addresses the needs of homeless children. MOSS’s Bright Futures Demonstration Project has had such results as improved social and interpersonal skills, attitudes and behaviours and noticeable improvements in school engagement.

When eleven-year-old Harry first came to the Bright Futures Program, he was anxious and suffering from the trauma associated with ongoing homelessness and from being assaulted. He was feeling very stressed at school and had been seeing a counsellor. There was a lot of uncertainty about whether Harry’s family would remain in the same house and whether he could stay at the same school.

Bright Futures’ case management staff worked with Harry outside the family home to address his anxiety and to develop strategies to cope. In speaking about his experience of the Bright Futures Case Management Program, it was evident that Harry had greatly appreciated the personal qualities of the staff and that participating in the program had provided him with many tangible benefits.

‘Jenny was a good role model—she helped me to work out issues like how to deal with all my homework—and she talked to my teachers about this. Being in Bright Futures helped me to get on better with other people. I took some of the group stuff back to my family and this was good. I don’t stress as much.’

casE study—australia day awards

In Canberra, FaHCSIA hosted the annual Australia Day Awards ceremony at Tuggeranong Office Park. The highlight was the awarding of five Australia Day Medallions to FaHCSIA staff, the highest award the Secretary can present.

Before an audience of friends and family who travelled from across Australia, over 50 staff were recognised for their dedication and contribution to the Department at a presentation hosted by the Secretary, Dr Jeff Harmer.

In his speech, Dr Harmer highlighted the extraordinary diversity of work undertaken by the winners, in areas including disability assistance, autism spectrum disorder assistance, social housing, welfare reform, and the Northern Territory Emergency Response.

He emphasised the key criteria for selecting the winners as respect for peers, a drive for results, professionalism, collaboration and innovation.

One of the Medallion winners, Anne Pulford of the Legal Drafting Team said, ‘I thought that the efforts of our manager in supporting this award indicated a high level of support for the branch and group, and appreciation of individual efforts. It’s great to be part of a branch and group with such an actively supportive executive. I consider that we are only doing our job, but found the nomination and ceremony improved my sense of FaHCSIA’s identity as a whole.’

Craig Wallace, from the Social Housing Supply Request for Information Team also received an Australia Day Medallion. He said, ‘It’s a very real honour for us all to have received recognition on Australia Day. This was very much a team effort, so I was pleased to see members of the team reunite at the ceremony and celebrate together. It is also important to recognise the contributions that families make to supporting staff that put in long hours on specific projects.’

Capability developmentFaHCSIA has an Integrated Capability Framework that identifies and addresses both organisational and individual needs for capability development. It consists of 16 core capabilities that FaHCSIA has identified as necessary for a high-performing organisation. The 16 core capabilities are underpinned by a set of behavioural descriptors that define the desired behaviour of individuals by job classification level.

individual perFormanCe managementDuring 2007–08, the Department implemented a new online performance management system to allow for an integrated process of identifying, assessing and reinforcing positive work performance.

The FaHCSIA Individual Performance Management System has established a direct link between high-level strategic aims and objectives, and the work of individual employees. Performance indicators measure how we do our work, as well as achieve key deliverables.

The principles underpinning the system are:

valuing regular communication and feedback between all parties when discussing ◗

individual performance

building relationships that encourage open and frank communication and trust ◗

maximising staff potential through the support of individual development, growth and ◗

work satisfaction.

Impact and features of the FaHCSIA Certified Agreement and Australian Workplace AgreementsIn December 2007, Australian Public Sector (APS) agencies were advised of the Government’s changes to arrangements for Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs) within the APS. To be able to continue to attract, retain and recognise high performing staff, FaHCSIA responded quickly to the changes and established suitable alternatives to AWAs. From January 2008, the Department ceased to negotiate or offer AWAs and commenced using alternative arrangements.

Senior Executive Service employees can negotiate conditions using Section 24(1) determinations under the Public Service Act 1999. Non-SES employees can negotiate additional conditions above the FaHCSIA Certified Agreement (CA) by using the flexibility clause contained in the CA.

Page 298: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

In June 2008, FaHCSIA staff participated in a survey to indicate their preference for a Union Collective Agreement or Employee Collective Agreement. The majority of staff expressed a preference for a Union Collective Agreement. Negotiations between FaHCSIA, the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) and Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) commenced in June 2008, with a view to finalising an agreement by November 2008 (when the current certified agreement will nominally expire). There will be a number of opportunities for staff to be involved and through FaHCSIA’s network of Workplace Consultative Forum representatives, staff will be able to express their views on the content of the Union Collective Agreement.

Further information relating to the current certified agreement and staff profile, including non salary features, can be found in Appendix 1 of this report, on page 338.

Online trainingE-learning is an online training system offered across FaHCSIA that provides staff with a flexible and accessible mode of learning. The system gives easy access to critical corporate training, particularly for FaHCSIA’s remote and regional employees. Some of FaHCSIA’s e-learning products include: induction, recruitment, ICT security, disability awareness, communications, occupational health and safety, protective security, APS Values and Code of Conduct and eliminating workplace discrimination and harassment.

staFF reCognitionFaHCSIA’s staff recognition programs are designed to recognise staff contributions and achievements, both informally and formally.

Informal recognition usually occurs through the interactions between managers and staff through individual performance management processes. It can also occur through the use of the Department’s Recognise and Appreciate People Scheme (RAPS) at group, branch or team level. This use of RAPS may include a commendation at a staff meeting, a workplace certificate of appreciation, or a team function to celebrate an achievement. This is a critical level of recognition and one that is promoted throughout FaHCSIA.

Significant contributions are recognised more formally through: external award schemes; whole-of-government awards, such as the Australia Day Awards; and departmental awards, such as the Secretary’s RAPS Awards.

Anyone can nominate a person or team for a Secretary’s RAPS Award. All nominations are considered by the RAPS Committee, who then make recommendations to the Secretary. In conferring RAPS Awards, the Secretary has used a range of options, such as certificates, letters of thanks, personal visits or an invitation to an informal gathering.

diversityFaHCSIA is committed to workplace diversity as teams achieve the best outcomes and results when staff draw upon their different views and backgrounds.

FaHCSIA aims to be the employer of choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and staff with disability. To this end, FaHCSIA has committed to maintaining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Coordinator and a Disability Access Coordinator.

aPs divErsity nEtwork—in focus

In its commitment to a whole-of-government approach to diversity, FaHCSIA coordinates the APS Diversity Network.

The network meets quarterly and aims to provide APS diversity staff with both a networking opportunity and a venue for sharing information and minimising duplication of effort across the Australian Public Service.

An achievement of the network over the last year has been the establishment of a working group to provide recommendations on a whole-of-government assistive technology approach. The working group produced a paper, Better Management for Users of Assistive Technology, which was considered by the network, the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO—Department of Finance and Deregulation) and Comcare.

The network, with the assistance and support of AGIMO and Comcare, has agreed on a course of action to ensure a whole-of-government approach is established to meet the assistive technology needs of staff with disability.

FaHCSIA’s Diversity Plan2009 will be the final year of the FaHCSIA three-year diversity plan, Valuing Diversity—Making it Real. In 2007–08, a review of the FaHCSIA Diversity Plan commenced and it is expected to be completed during 2008–09.

FaHCSIA will work towards establishing an improved Diversity Plan that supports a workplace that values and benefits from the diversity of its people. The new plan will continue to use a framework that defines organisational, manager and staff responsibilities for a range of specific actions, with timelines to promote and support workplace diversity.

Commitment to Indigenous staffFaHCSIA remains dedicated to its statement of commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and has implemented a number of strategies to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff. A program has been developed, providing mentors with culturally appropriate training to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff.

A network has also been established to provide a forum for staff to discuss issues of concern, foster goodwill and provide support for each other in a culturally appropriate way. FaHCSIA contributes to a number of forums that share information about Indigenous employment issues across the APS. The Department continues to partner with the Australian Public Service Commission and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations on entry-level programs, including the National Indigenous Cadetship Program, Indigenous Australian Contract Management Development Program and the Indigenous Graduate and Traineeship programs.

Support for staff with disabilityFaHCSIA has implemented seven of the eight recommendations made by the Management Advisory Committee (MAC) in its 2006 report Employment of People with Disability in the APS.

The eight recommendations are:

a culture that values diversity and actively promotes the employment of people ◗

with disability

flexible recruitment strategies that are accessible to applicants with disability ◗

accessible training, cadetship and mentoring opportunities for people with disability ◗

special employment measures to employ people with intellectual disability* ◗

accessible premises, workplaces and supportive work environments for people ◗

with disability

reduced complexity, cost and risk for managers employing people with disability ◗

consistent conceptual framework for defining disability ◗

continuous improvement in recruiting and retaining people with disability. ◗

* This recommendation has not yet been met, however, it is being actively pursued through the Employers Network on Disability and other APS member agencies.

FaHCSIA has appointed Deputy Secretary, Geoff Leeper, to act as a senior level advocate for employees with disability.

The Department continues to pursue strategies for employing people with intellectual disability by utilising special employment measures, such as providing work experience to a number of people with intellectual disability.

In accordance with the MAC report recommendations and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, FaHCSIA has a centralised fund that is utilised to provide staff with disability with reasonable adjustments to meet their needs in the workplace.

casE study—assistivE tEcHnology for staff witH disability

In line with FaHCSIA’s commitment to being an employer of choice for staff with disability, the Department has a Diversity and Disability Team to manage the assessment and acquisition of a variety of assistive technology. The assistive technology is acquired through FaHCSIA’s centralised funds and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relation’s JobAccess program.

During 2007–08, 22 staff were provided with equipment and support through the use of these centralised funds, while five obtained their equipment through JobAccess. The JobAccess equipment is generally owned by the staff member and so travels with them throughout their career. Feedback from staff has indicated an appreciation of these practical measures of support.

FaHCSIA continues to maintain the cross-agency network to pool and share information about assistive technology software, hardware and service providers. FaHCSIA is regarded as a leader in the APS in relation to its policy and approach to reasonable adjustments, such as assistive technology. In 2008–09, FaHCSIA will be finalising its assistive technology policy and guidelines. The policy and guidelines will define the level of service that staff can expect and will provide a quality assurance in the delivery of such services.

FaHCSIA has continued to be called upon to address conferences and provide its views and advice on issues of reasonable adjustment.

workForCe planningThe Department’s people strategies are informed by regular data collection and analysis. A human resources metrics report is developed by People Branch and provided to both the Executive Management Group and the People Committee on a quarterly basis. The report provides numerical and trend data, with analysis to support decision-making.

The information is also used by the human resources advisory team in People Branch to provide support to operational areas in:

understanding the factors affecting their workforce ◗

quantifying the staff supply and demand factors affecting the delivery of ◗

business outcomes

the development of attraction, retention and development strategies to meet ◗

workforce requirements.

Staff turnover and retentionThe Department’s voluntary separation rate for 2007–08 was 13.17 per cent, which is not a significant change from our 2006–07 position relative to the rest of the APS. This rate excludes all staff that separated from the Department due to the end of their contract or redundancy. The InfoHRM target benchmark for APS agencies in 2007 was 9.73 per cent and the median was 12.83 per cent.

Productivity gainsIn 2007–08, unscheduled leave was 11.21 days per full time equivalent (FTE) employee. This included an average of 8.61 days sick leave, 1.72 days carers’ leave and 0.88 days miscellaneous leave per FTE employee.

The InfoHRM target benchmark for APS agencies in 2007 was 8.86 days per FTE employee and the median was 11.35 days per FTE employee.

Figures 3.4 and 3.5 compare FaHCSIA’s levels of unscheduled absences per FTE employee for the period 2004–05 to 2007–08.

Managing depression in the workplaceIn 2007–08, FaHCSIA continued to deliver the ‘Managing Depression in the Workplace’ workshops across Australia. These workshops are designed to equip managers with the necessary skills to respond appropriately and confidently to issues of depression in the workplace.

‘Awareness to Action’ workshops also commenced across Australia in September 2007. Designed to educate staff on recognising signs and symptoms of depression, the workshops also aim to help equip staff with the necessary skills to intervene early and respond appropriately to help others to help themselves.

FaHCSIA is continuing to work with beyondblue to translate these face-to-face workshops into an online e-learning course.

Eliminating bullying and harassment in the workplaceFaHCSIA is committed to supporting a culture free from bullying and harassment.

The Department has in place a network of Harassment Contact Officers (HCOs), located in the National Office, state offices and Indigenous Coordination Centres. HCOs are trained in providing support and information to staff and management on harassment issues. In addition, FaHCSIA HCOs are often the first point of contact for staff or managers requiring assistance with workplace harassment and/or bullying issues.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA has recruited and trained 20 new HCOs and several existing HCOs have undertaken refresher training. Furthermore, in 2008 the Department launched a new e-learning course on eliminating bullying and harassment in the workplace.

Occupational health and safetyFaHCSIA acknowledges its employer responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991 (the OHS Act) and is committed to the health and safety of its employees. The Department recognises the importance of positive interventions aimed at improving employee health and safety.

Health and Safety Management ArrangementsIn December 2007, FaHCSIA implemented Health and Safety Management Arrangements (HSMA) that were developed in consultation with staff. The HSMA has led to several new OHS procedures being implemented throughout the Department, including:

the establishment of a National OHS Committee ◗

introduction of an OHS induction pack for all new staff and contractors commencing or ◗

transferring within FaHCSIA

the establishment of new Designated Work Groups for National Office, state and ◗

ICC offices

nominations to fill the new Health and Safety Representatives and Designated ◗

Health and Safety Representatives positions for all designated work groups across the Department

the establishment of a First Aid Policy. ◗

Other initiatives that were undertaken during 2007–08 to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of FaHCSIA employees and contractors were:

anti-influenza vaccine injections were offered to all FaHCSIA staff—739 staff were ◗

vaccinated—an increase of over 200 staff from 2006–07

workstation assessments—over 690 workstation assessments have been conducted ◗

since July 2007 throughout FaHCSIA’s National Office and state offices

the completion of an audit on all First Aid rooms ◗

a refresh of all First Aid kits. ◗

OHS formal reporting requirementsDuring the 2007–08 reporting year, there have been 100 accident and injury reports arising from undertakings by the Department or authority and requiring the giving of notice under section 68 of the OHS Act. FaHCSIA reported 10 incidents to Comcare, but none resulted in a Comcare investigation.

Two Comcare investigations, of which FaHCSIA was the subject, were conducted during 2007–08, including details of all notices given to the employer under sections 20, 46 or 47 of the OHS Act.

In September 2007, Comcare issued an Improvement Notice to the Department under section 47 of the OHS Act. The Improvement Notice requires the Department to address issues relating to meeting its obligations under the OHS Act. The Department has a prescribed number of days under the Improvement Notice to undertake the work necessary to meet the requirements. To date, the Department has made substantial progress

Page 306: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

against the requirements and continues to work cooperatively with Comcare to ensure the Department’s compliance with its obligations under the OHS Act. The Department anticipates meeting the requirements within the prescribed timeframe.

In February 2008, Comcare began a preliminary investigation under section 41 of the OHS Act. The investigation was in response to a risk assessment and letter from a staff member about conditions in an Australian Government staff container accommodation being used for the Northern Territory Emergency Response. This investigation is ongoing.

In April 2008, the Department was alerted to the presence of formaldehyde in the Northern Territory Emergency Response staff container accommodation. In response to the information, the Department removed all affected staff from the accommodation and arranged for independent testing of the containers to establish the levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (including formaldehyde) present in the accommodation. The Department is currently developing a remediation strategy that will enable staff to return to work in the departmental accommodation affected by the fumes as soon as it is safe to do so.

Compensation claims managementFaHCSIA recorded 25 injuries during 2007–08 that led to workers’ compensation claims being made to Comcare. This shows a reduction of 11 claims from the 36 that were made in 2006–07.

296 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 3 corporate governance Chapter 11 Our operational profile

business monitoringWe monitor our business by measuring our performance, reporting on the status of our projects and conducting internal audits.

Program simplificationThe Program Performance Group (formerly Program Operations Group) supports and guides FaHCSIA managers in reforming and improving the way FaHCSIA manages programs. The primary goals of these improvements are to: maximise opportunities for consistency, efficiency and effectiveness in relation to community services, Indigenous business, whole-of-government processes and program delivery; and to improve how we work within FaHCSIA as one entity.

The Department is participating in external cross-government reviews, which commenced in 2007–08. The outcomes of the following reviews will provide the framework for future program improvements:

Outcomes review (‘Operation Sunlight’)—to improve the transparency and ◗

accountability of programs and funding. This will include redesigning agency Portfolio Budget Statements to provide a more strategic focus and an increased emphasis on agency performance.

Program by program review—to align policy priorities of Government, improve the quality ◗

of expenditure and achieve efficiencies.

Discretionary Grants review—a strategic review of the management and administration ◗

of Discretionary Grants to improve efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability.

Performance frameworkFaHCSIA has begun the implementation of a standardised performance framework that will develop critical linkages between key corporate governance processes, utilising the Portfolio Budget Statements and the Annual Report as the key reporting tools. The new framework will assist FaHCSIA to report consistently, transparently and accurately across the Department’s outputs and outcomes for community grants.

Project managementOver the year, approximately 60 projects were reported each month through the Project Management Integration Office (PMIO) to the Executive Management Group. A number of major projects are reportable quarterly to the Cabinet Implementation Unit in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. These projects are generally those that address major or complex issues, involve the introduction of new technology or

service delivery arrangements, include extensive cross-portfolio or cross-jurisdictional coordination, or are particularly sensitive or require urgent implementation. FaHCSIA works closely with the Cabinet Implementation Unit to make sure that the Department provides timely, accurate and relevant information to Government.

The PMIO and branches within the Information Management and Technology (IMT) Group are working closely together on a series of Post Implementation Reviews for IMT projects.

During the year, PMIO was aligned within the People Branch in the Corporate Support Group. This move builds on the strong reporting and monitoring approach already in place by strengthening links with internal capability development.

Strategic risk managementFaHCSIA’s risk management policy, guidelines and tools are based on the current Australian/New Zealand Standard on Risk Management (AS/NZS 4360:2004).

In 2007–08, the Executive reviewed and identified strategic risks that have the potential to impact on the Department. Strategies and controls have been set in place to manage risks and have been assigned to key Executive members for management oversight.

FaHCSIA has a Crisis Response Team (CRT) to manage the Department’s response to a crisis or major business disruption. The CRT is made up of senior management representatives from critical business areas. For further details about the Department’s crisis planning and management, see FaHCSIA’s business continuity planning and management section below.

FaHCSIA’s Risk Tracker tool has been further developed to better facilitate ongoing monitoring of project and program risks, and ensure that they remain visible and under control. The Risk Management Guidelines are available online to all staff and additional assistance is made available through a helpdesk, tailored training and workshops.

FaHCSIA’s business continuity planning and managementPublic sector business continuity planning is defined as management and planning for the continued availability of government services, including all the functions and resources associated with the provision of these services.

In the event of an emergency or significant disruption, FaHCSIA has a plan to ensure critical services associated with departmental outcomes, including services that support the government, are continued.

FaHCSIA has a commitment to ensure that in the event of an emergency or significant disruption, advice to our Ministers continues and services provided to the community,

environmental management

How FaHCSIA’s outcomes contribute to Ecologically Sustainable DevelopmentIn accordance with Section 516A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act), FaHCSIA’s outcomes support the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) through responsibility for the implementation of social policies and social support.

FaHCSIA’s Strategic Policy Branch has responsibility for contributing to the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and the development of climate change and energy efficiency policies, particularly in respect to the impacts on low-income households. In 2007–08, the branch provided early feedback on issues that feature in the Green Paper on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. Strategic Policy will consult with relevant areas of the Department as these policies develop.

FaHCSIA’s commitment to ESDDuring 2007–08, FaHCSIA has remained committed to the principles of ESD as outlined in the EPBC Act.

FaHCSIA integrates ESD into our daily operations by using the triple bottom line approach of environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

Sustainability Report

FaHCSIA will publish its sixth Sustainability Report later this year. The 2007–08 Sustainability Report will only be published on the FaHCSIA website to reduce our carbon footprint.

The Sustainability Report sets social, environmental and economic commitments for FaHCSIA, and details progress made toward these commitments in the previous reporting period. This assists the Department in monitoring its performance and evaluating new opportunities for future improvements and provides transparency about our wider economic, social and environmental impacts.

FaHCSIA was recently named winner of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Australia New Zealand’s 2007 Best Public Sector Report for the 2006–07 Sustainability Report.

Environmental Management System

FaHCSIA is committed to the ongoing development of the Environmental Management System (EMS). This year, the Department achieved re-certification of the EMS, expansion of the scope of the EMS to include Centraplaza and an upgrade of the EMS certification to the new ISO 14001 standard.

The Department has commenced the development of an Environmental Strategic Plan, which aims to identify where the most significant gains in environmental performance can be made with the least cost. The plan will also identify long term measures where more significant expenditure will deliver significant and measurable improvements.

Other priorities for the EMS are:

improved collection and monitoring of data on energy use, water consumption and waste ◗

management in all National Office buildings

assessment of the effectiveness of current green procurement processes for purchasing ◗

of paper, furniture, information technology, energy and vehicles.

Fraud ControlFaHCSIA has a Fraud Control Plan (FCP) in place for the period 2007–09 that complies with the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines.

The Audit and Fraud Branch is responsible for providing fraud awareness training and advice on policy, guidelines and procedures to FaHCSIA staff. Audit and Fraud also monitor FaHCSIA’s FCP and report on fraud-related matters for the Department. The branch is responsible for receiving and investigating allegations of criminal activity involving FaHCSIA staff and external fraud, excluding Indigenous programs.

Fraud investigators are trained at the required level, as set out by the Australian Government Investigation Standards and the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines 2002. FaHCSIA investigators maintain vigilance on existing fraud trends and anomalies across the whole of government.

The Indigenous Programs Investigation Branch is responsible for the external investigation of those matters relating to Indigenous programs.

Fraud control reviewDuring 2007–08, the Department addressed its fraud control responsibilities through the Audit and Fraud Branch, the Indigenous Programs Investigation Branch and the Child Care Compliance Branch. The Child Care and Compliance Branch moved from FaHCSIA to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations on 14 March 2008.

Over this period, FaHCSIA gave greater emphasis to its fraud control program and to awareness-raising and reporting issues. This was due to additional responsibilities in program areas and was in keeping with the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines.

The Audit and Fraud Branch implemented a Fraud Control Review as an addendum to the Fraud Control Plan 2007–09, addressing the following points:

assessment of the fraud risks in relation to Northern Territory Emergency Response from ◗

these perspectives:

fraud risks associated with program delivery and management –

impacts on existing fraud risk profile and control framework as identified within the –current Fraud Control Plan 2007–09.

consideration of the impact of machinery of government changes and the examination of ◗

any implications of programs leaving or joining the Department.

This addendum has been developed in accordance with the requirements outlined within the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) and the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines. More information on these guidelines can be found at: www.ag.gov.au.

The Fraud Control Plan 2007–09 Addendum Report was delivered to the Risk Assessment and Audit Committee in June 2008.

FaHCSIA works closely with areas in other Australian Government agencies responsible for fraud prevention and investigation by sharing information and developing knowledge of identified fraud risks, fraud intelligence and trends impacting on the Department’s program areas.

Certification of the departmental fraud control arrangements follows.

Protective securityThe Department produces, collects and holds a considerable amount of security classified information. It is therefore vital for the Department to provide an appropriate security environment that protects employees, information, assets and capabilities.

In 2007–08, FaHCSIA issued, transferred or reviewed 274 clearances and has approximately 217 clearances in progress. Additionally, over 15 protective security risk reviews have been completed on FaHCSIA tenancies and 18 building security fit out briefs have been delivered as part of the broader accommodation fit out process.

FaHCSIA continues to commit resources to strengthen and maintain the Department’s Protective Security Framework. The FaHCSIA Security Action Plan contributes to achieving greater compliance with the Australian Government’s Protective Security Manual (PSM). A focus on increased staff awareness has been maintained—including staff training and a range of other awareness-raising initiatives. Training sessions in National Office are regularly offered and in total 13 sites in the FaHCSIA Network have received specific protective security awareness training.

The Protective Security Section continues to help ensure staff safety, particularly in remote areas. The Government Business Managers and a number of Indigenous Coordination Centre (ICC) staff have received specialised behavioural indicators analysis training aimed to reduce the potential for conflict. The use of video conferencing has enabled the Protective Security Section to deliver training to staff in many ICCs.

The Department is moving towards a uniform and networked access control system. This will simplify and improve security at the Department’s various locations. For additional information on privacy, see page 327.

building an evidenCe baseIn keeping with the Government’s emphasis on developing a strong evidence base, FaHCSIA’s research, evaluation and related data activities focus on underpinning effective evidence-informed policy and program development. Appropriate and timely investment in data acquisition and enrichment is fundamental to FaHCSIA’s ongoing role as a key source of advice on social policy issues to the Government.

Research, evaluation and dataThrough 2007–08, research, evaluation and related data efforts across all outcomes supported and informed policy and program development by:

delivering research programs closely aligned with policy priorities ◗

contributing to the use of social policy evidence in policy and program development ◗

through research dissemination activities

developing data holdings to support research ◗

enabling a better understanding of the social and economic environment. ◗

Several strategic planning processes, including the development of the 2007–08 Research and Evaluation Plan, were continued to increase returns on investments in research, evaluation and data, and strengthen FaHCSIA’s capacity to delivery quality policy advice. These activities involved branches across the Department and were overseen by the Research and Evaluation Committee (REC), a sub-committee of the Executive Management Group. The Research and Evaluation Plan improved the ability of REC to direct resources to priorities and provided an overview of the full investment in research, evaluation and data across FaHCSIA outcomes.

An extensive program of social policy research (with funding of $1.6 million) was managed under the Social Policy Research Services (SPRS) agreements. The SPRS agreements provide a research partnership between FaHCSIA and research centres at The Australian National University and the University of New South Wales. The annual research program for these centres is developed through collaboration between FaHCSIA policy areas and the research providers.

The Social Policy Research and Evaluation Panel 2007–11 was established to improve the quality and efficiency of research and evaluation commissioned by FaHCSIA. The panel currently comprises 62 members, who are able to provide research and evaluation services across a range of disciplines relevant to FaHCSIA’s business needs.

FaHCSIA’s research publication series continued its contribution to the social policy evidence base and provided a record of findings from research and evaluation projects. During 2007–08, six Social Policy Research Papers, three Occasional Papers and one Australian Social Policy Journal were published. FaHCSIA research has also been published in Australian and internationally-recognised academic journals.

The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey continued to provide data necessary to assess the effects of policy and other changes on families and household formation, labour market and education participation and retirement. The provision of HILDA’s high-quality social policy research data to government agencies and academic institutions enables a better understanding of Australia’s unique social and economic environment.

Page 318: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

To date, over 900 researchers have registered to use HILDA data and a growing amount of research is being utilised for social and economic policy development across all areas of government. HILDA’s developing reputation, both internationally and within Australia, is reflected in the overall number of users applying for access to data and respondents’ cooperation in participating in the survey.

Growing Up in Australia, the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC), continued to address a range of key questions about children’s development and wellbeing. Information is collected on the children’s physical health and social, cognitive and emotional development, as well as their experiences in key environments, such as the family, community, child care, pre-school and school settings.

Wave 2 data was released in September 2007. As this was the third data release, it allowed longitudinal analysis of LSAC data for the first time. Wave 2.5 data was released in May 2008 and interviewers commenced visiting families to collect Wave 3 data in April 2008. There are now over 200 registered data users.

The inaugural LSAC conference was held in Melbourne in December 2007, with 32 papers presented by researchers from around Australia and overseas using LSAC data. The study continued its involvement in the ABC Life television series, contributing to the production of the Life at 3 documentary, to be screened late in 2008.

The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) commenced its ‘live study’ phase in April 2008 in 11 sites nationally. LSIC began the collection of quantitative and qualitative information about Indigenous children, their families, carers and communities in urban, regional and remote locations to develop evidence on Indigenous children. Using a computer-assisted data management system, the 2,200 Indigenous children identified in 2008 will be interviewed annually over the next four years to record their progress.

Information management and technologyDuring the last 12 months, the Information Management and Technology (IMT) Group delivered a significant amount of key information and application projects and services to support the work of the Department, individuals and community organisations.

ICT sourcing strategyFollowing a review of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) service delivery in September 2007, the IMT Group developed an ICT Sourcing Strategy that defines future ICT service delivery options. After extensive analysis, the Executive Management Group agreed that ICT Infrastructure Services Branch would deliver the following ICT services directly (in-house) from 1 July 2008:

data network between offices, other agencies and access to the internet ◗

electronic file storage ◗

print services ◗

desktop personal computers (PCs) including management, development and deployment ◗

of the software under the Standard Operating Environment (SOE)

infrastructure supporting the ICT systems and applications ◗

monitoring and reporting against performance of the services provided ◗

email services ◗

remote access to the FaHCSIA network ◗

data storage systems and maintaining a backup system to support the Department’s ◗

policy on data retrieval

project management. ◗

Infrastructure improvementDuring 2007–08, ICT Infrastructure Services Branch commissioned a series of independent reviews of key components of the ICT infrastructure. These included efficiency reviews of the File Server fleet, the Citrix remote access system, the Microsoft Exchange (email) system, and the data networks Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Following these reviews, a program of improvement was undertaken to address identified faults or areas of improvements. While continuous improvement will continue through 2008–09, the scope of this particular program of work is completed with significant improvements in ICT system stability, performance and redundancy.

Redevelopment of business systemsDuring 2007–08, FaHCSIA implemented a number of new systems using Microsoft (MS) SharePoint 2007 and the .Net framework. These new systems have been developed to

Page 320: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

assist in the efficient delivery of FaHCSIA’s business and address both internal and external processes. After the successful launch of the new intranet, work has commenced on the redevelopment of FaHCSIA’s internet sites on Microsoft SharePoint 2007.

New systems developed using the .Net frameworks include:

Family Relationship Services Program (FRSP) online version two ◗

Electronic Register of Indigenous Corporations for the CATSI Act (ERICCA) ◗

data collection portal for FaHCSIA programs ◗

a number of Lotus Notes applications have been reviewed and either decommissioned ◗

or replaced with new applications including the Ministerial and Parliamentary System, the Individual Performance Management System and the Project Gateway/Charging Repository.

Child Care Management SystemThe Child Care Management System (CCMS) commenced live payments on 4 February 2008. As at the end of June 2008, over 1,200 child care services had transitioned to the CCMS system, with over 10,000 to transition by the end of December 2008. The system supports the government reforms in child care relating to the payment of Child Care Benefit and will improve access to information on child care usage and supply. The system involves data transfers from third party software used by child care centres and Centrelink to ensure minimal impact on business and timely payment of appropriate benefits.

As a result of the 2007 machinery of government changes, responsibility for child care programs moved to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), however FaHCSIA will continue to operate and support the CCMS on behalf of DEEWR until 1 July 2009.

Data warehousingFaHCSIA has continued to invest in its data warehousing infrastructure and architecture, particularly in the continued development and maintenance of the Longitudinal Data Warehouse and the subsequent production of the Longitudinal Data Set 1% Sample. The sample is a valuable resource for the internal FaHCSIA researchers and outsourced research projects.

The Child Support Policy Branch was provided with management information support for legislative changes that came into effect on 1 July 2008, including the provision of integrated Child Support Agency and Centrelink data. This allowed the modelling of the child support population and improved reporting to the Minister regarding the various components of the legislative changes.

In the Indigenous area, the data from the last three Community Housing and Infrastructure Needs Surveys undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics were brought together to provide a longitudinal view of the survey data. In addition, a reporting capability was developed for the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations to support administration of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act).

Community profilesThe Department enhanced its ability to accurately report on services and funding on communities through the implementation of the Community Profiles geospatial information system, introduced in July 2007. Community Profiles has broad applicability across FaHCSIA, enabling staff to interrogate multiple data sources through one reporting portal, identify disadvantaged communities using social indicators and pinpoint disconnects between supply and demand (or need) for FaHCSIA services.

The Community Profiles system allows users to interactively explore the Community Profiles data through a series of reporting ‘dashboards’. These are simple to use and highly interactive, allowing users to zero in on particular data and choose whichever profile data comparisons make sense to them.

The generic dashboards can produce reports based on a Statistical Local Area (SLA), Local Government Area (LGA) or other boundary area. Links to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Quickstats for each boundary type are provided through the mapping component of each dashboard.

Reporting results can be immediately presented as on-screen tables or plotted on maps—both of which can be exported from the system in a variety of formats, such as PDF or Excel worksheets.

FaHCSIA is committed to supporting open communication and active engagement with its many stakeholders, including the Ministers, individuals, and community organisations.

stakeholder engagementFaHCSIA’s stakeholder engagement approach recognises the significant skills, expertise and experience that communities can contribute to the design and delivery of programs and services that seek to improve the lives of Australians.

FaHCSIA Service CharterThe FaHCSIA Service Charter sets out the standard of service that people who deal with the Department can expect and the ways they can help the Department improve service to customers, such as providing feedback. The charter also helps FaHCSIA staff to develop a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Further information on FaHCSIA’s Service Charter can be found at: www.fahcsia.gov.au.

Complaints Management SchemeWork has commenced on redeveloping FaHCSIA’s Complaints Management Scheme to ensure that all the concerns and issues being raised by external stakeholders are effectively handled and captured in the complaints recording database.

The Department is in the process of improving the current Complaints Management Scheme to make it a more effective and relevant part of the Department’s operations. It will examine alternative models used by other government agencies for receiving and responding to complaints.

During 2007–08, 26 complaints were registered on the Complaints Management Scheme. As at 30 June 2008, 20 of those complaints had been resolved and six complaints were still being actioned.

FaHCSIA Regional NetworkIn 2007–08, around 780 FaHCSIA staff, who comprised the FaHCSIA Regional Network (the Network), were located in seven state offices, four regional offices and 30 Indigenous Coordination Centres (ICCs). Additional staff were placed in the Northern Territory as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER). The staff were located in the Northern Territory Office, in the Operations Centre, and as Government Business Managers in remote communities. FaHCSIA had 54 Government Business Managers serving in 72 NTER communities as at 30 June 2008.

The Network’s core business is the identification of needs and the management of contracts for service delivery to meet those needs. This includes building effective relationships with stakeholders and monitoring and reporting on outcomes. It has a key role in gathering evidence for policy development, program design and implementation.

The Network also:

provides advice to the portfolio Ministers and the FaHCSIA Executive on operational ◗

matters and has input to policy deliberation

represents FaHCSIA at the state and local government level and consults with key ◗

stakeholders and service providers

provides information to the community about FaHCSIA services ◗

works collaboratively with other agencies, particularly in the delivery of ◗

whole-of-government initiatives.

In Indigenous communities, the ICCs remain a one-stop shop for the delivery of many of the Government’s programs assisting Indigenous peoples. This was accentuated during the NTER, when staff in the ICCs worked closely with the state offices of relevant departments, Operations Centre staff and Government Business Managers to support communities in the stabilisation phase of that work.

In addition, during 2007–08 the FaHCSIA Regional Network:

provided major input into the development of an Indigenous Early Childhood Framework ◗

tested new models of service delivery and rolled out welfare reforms in Indigenous ◗

communities in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory

managed a diverse range of family and community programs and implemented ◗

Budget initiatives

ensured a smooth transition of programs affected by machinery of government changes. ◗

Harm Prevention Charities RegisterThe Harm Prevention Charities Register was introduced on 1 July 2003 in response to the Inquiry into the Definition of Charities and Related Organisations. Charitable institutions whose principal activity is to promote the prevention or control of behaviour that is harmful or abusive to humans can apply for entry to the register. Entry on the register helps charities to attract public support, as donations and gifts to registered charities are tax deductible.

The Department assessed 17 applications for the register during 2007–08 against eligibility criteria. Eligible applications were then submitted to the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Minister for Revenue and Assistant Treasurer for their consideration. There are currently 32 institutions listed on the register.

Senate Select Committee on Housing Affordability in AustraliaThe committee was established on 14 February 2008 to inquire and report on the barriers to home ownership in Australia. The committee held public hearings throughout Australia between 1 April and 7 May 2008 and over 100 submissions were lodged.

The committee tabled its report on 16 June 2008. The report contains 32 recommendations targeted at all levels of government on a range of matters impacting upon housing affordability in Australia.

Officers from the Department appeared before the committee on 1 April 2008 and again on 7 May 2008.

The Department’s submission to the committee was lodged on 30 May 2008. The submission provided the committee with key statistics on the current level of housing affordability in Australia and outlined the range of Australian Government programs that address housing affordability issues. The submission also responded to the specific terms of reference for the committee.

Senate Standing Committee on Community AffairsInquiry into the Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Other Legislation Amendment (Emergency Response Consolidation) Bill 2008. The committee examined the provisions of the Bill, which included provisions in relation to the permit system for Aboriginal Land in the Northern Territory, R18+ Pay TV programming in prescribed areas, the transport of prohibited material through prescribed areas and the licensing of roadhouses as community stores.

Two FaHCSIA officers gave evidence to the inquiry at a public hearing on 30 April 2008. The committee’s report was tabled on 15 May 2008.

Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs—Inquiry into Mental Health Services in AustraliaOn 28 March 2007, on the motion of Senator Lyn Allison, the Senate referred the matter of mental health services in Australia to the Community Affairs Committee for inquiry and report by 30 June 2008. Following the commencement of the 42nd Parliament, the Senate readopted the inquiry on 14 February 2008.

The terms of reference required the committee to examine ongoing efforts towards improving mental health services in Australia, with reference to the National Action Plan on Mental Health agreed upon at the July 2006 meeting of the Council of Australian Governments. In particular, the committee examined the commitments and contributions of the different levels of government with regard to their respective roles and responsibilities.

Page 332: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

320 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 3 corporate governance Chapter 12 Our relationships

The committee, in considering this matter, also gave consideration to:

the extent to which the action plan assists in achieving the aims and objectives of the ◗

National Mental Health Strategy

the overall contribution of the action plan to the development of a coordinated ◗

infrastructure to support community-based care

progress towards implementing the recommendations of the Select Committee on ◗

Mental Health, as outlined in its report A national approach to mental health—from crisis to community

identifying any possible remaining gaps or shortfalls in funding and in the range of ◗

services available for people with a mental illness.

Officers from the Department appeared before the Senate Standing Committee in November 2007 and May 2008 with the Department of Health and Ageing and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

FaHCSIA contributed to a joint submission to the Inquiry.

Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs—Inquiry into Cost of living pressures on older AustraliansOn 14 June 2007, the Senate established this inquiry, which reported in March 2008.

FaHCSIA provided submissions to the inquiry and officers from the Department appeared before the committee on 20 September 2007.

The committee examined the financial circumstances of older Australians and found that there is a disparity in the distribution of wealth amongst older Australians. It found that cost of living pressures are placing some seniors in financial stress, particularly those in private rental accommodation.

The committee recommended measures to alleviate these pressures, including a review of certain pension rates and indexation arrangements and improved access to services. Superannuation and housing issues were also considered by the committee.

Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration—Inquiry into the Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Other Legislation Amendment (2008 Budget and Other Measures) Bill 2008The committee’s terms of reference focused on the impact of measures announced in the 2008–09 Budget, including changes to Family Tax Benefit Part B and the Baby Bonus. This included an examination of eligibility, financial impacts, administration and modelling underpinning the measures.

Page 333: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

The committee’s focus shifted to the treatment of fringe benefits in the calculation of family assistance entitlements following the emergence of unintended consequences for employees working in not-for-profit organisations.

A change to the definition of income for family assistance purposes—to assess the gross value of reportable fringe benefits, rather than the net value—was taken by the previous Government and included in the 2006–07 Budget. This was part of the Child Support Reforms and was to have applied from 1 July 2008.

Prior to the committee hearing, the Government announced that it would restore the use of net value of reportable fringe benefits in the definition of family assistance. This was designed to protect low-income earners in not-for-profit organisations from losing family assistance entitlements.

FaHCSIA appeared before the committee on 20 June 2008, but did not make a written submission due to a late shift in the terms of reference.

Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs—Stolen Generation Compensation Bill 2008On 12 March 2008, the Senate referred the Stolen Generation Compensation Bill 2008 (a private bill introduced by Senator Andrew Bartlett) to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee for inquiry and report.

The Bill proposed a compensation model for ex-gratia payments to be made to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons who are found to be eligible for such payments.

The committee examined the viability of the Bill’s proposed compensation model, considered existing domestic and international compensation models and reviewed any relevant unimplemented recommendations of the 1997 Bringing Them Home report.

On 16 April 2008, two FaHCSIA officers attended committee hearings at the request of the committee. Their role was to clarify and elaborate on the Government’s position with regard to compensation to members of the Stolen Generations.

external sCrutiny

Approaches to the OmbudsmanThe Commonwealth Ombudsman received 165 approaches about the Department in 2007–08, an increase on the 43 approaches received in 2006–07.

During 2007–08, 90 approaches were finalised. Of these, the Ombudsman investigated 38 and exercised his discretion not to investigate 52. None of the 38 approaches investigated by the Ombudsman led to a finding of defective administration by FaHCSIA.

The main contributing factor to the increase in the number of approaches has been the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER). FaHCSIA is the lead Australian Government agency for the NTER. Implementation of the NTER has led to a large number of approaches (101), raising issues associated with matters such as store cards, income management and the transfer of persons from CDEP to income support payments.

There has been no significant increase in approaches concerning any other aspects of FaHCSIA programs.

Act of grace paymentsGenerally, act of grace payments are a means of providing compensation to persons who may have been unfairly disadvantaged by the Australian Government, but who have no legal claim against it.

During the 2007–08 financial reporting year, the total amount of act of grace payments was $368,671.

Australian National Audit Office activityThe Auditor General tabled seven audit reports in Parliament relevant to departmental operations. One of these was the report of an agency audit where FaHCSIA was a key stakeholder, while six reports related to cross-agency audits. Relevant areas of the Department have been working on addressing the findings from this Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) activity. The substance of the audit reports is presented below.

No.7: The Senate Order for Departmental and Agency Contracts (Calendar Year 2006 Compliance) (tabled 27 September 2007)The audit objectives were to assess the appropriateness of the use of confidentiality provisions in Australian Government contracts and whether selected agencies had compiled Internet listings of contracts, as required by the Senate Order and agreed to by the Government.

Page 335: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

Key findings from this audit are identified below:

Audited agencies reported, on average, that 13 per cent of contracts had specific ◗

confidentiality provisions for 2006 Internet listings, compared to 17–18 per cent for the two previous years.

The many errors identified by the ANAO, relating to the identification and reporting of ◗

confidentiality in contracts and the completeness of Internet listings, suggest that there was a lack of effective staff training, quality control, and overall care in the compilation of all audited agencies’ 2006 internet listings.

The ANAO considered that reporting processes and quality controls could be strengthened in some agencies by reconciling the Senate Order internet listing with contract information contained in Financial Management Information Systems (FMIS) and reported in AusTender.

No.8: Proof of Identity for Accessing Centrelink Payments (tabled 3 October 2007)The objective of this FaHCSIA-specific audit was to determine whether the proof of identity information recorded by Centrelink accorded with relevant policy and thereby effectively supported informed decision-making regarding eligibility for the payment of various benefits to Centrelink customers.

Key findings from the audit are identified below:

Centrelink’s requirement for customers to provide satisfactory proof of identity (POI) is ◗

an essential element of the control framework for social security payments. This control relies on Centrelink administering the requirements of the current POI model effectively and efficiently, ensuring customers only receive payments (and/or services) if they have provided the required POI documentation.

The audit indicated a weakness in Centrelink’s control framework for social security ◗

payments and a risk to the integrity of outlays for customers with insufficient POI on their paper file. For these customers, there is an increased risk that Centrelink may be making payments to which they are not entitled. The report suggested that implementation of its recommendations would go a considerable way towards reducing that risk.

No.10: Whole‑of‑Government Indigenous Service Delivery Arrangements (tabled 17 October 2007)The objective of this cross-portfolio audit was to assess how four key departments: Education, Science and Training; Employment and Workplace Relations; Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs; and Health and Ageing are implementing the Government’s policy objective for Indigenous service delivery.

Page 336: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

324 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 3 corporate governance Chapter 12 Our relationships

Key findings from this audit are identified below:

Governance processes, including leadership, the identification and management ◗

of risks, appropriate budgeting and reporting arrangements, and implementation planning, are standard features of an accountability framework, including for whole-of-government programs.

Collaboration is an important ingredient in whole-of-government work. This includes ◗

high-level arrangements developed by the Council of Australian Governments, through to the day-to-day matters that affect the operation of departments and agencies in a whole-of-government context.

An important feature of the Indigenous affairs arrangements is the requirement that ◗

both Indigenous specific services and mainstream programs, through their policies and procedures, are able to respond flexibly to the identified needs of Indigenous clients.

No.18: Audits of the Financial Statements of Australian Government Entities for the Period Ended 30 June 2007 (tabled 20 December 2007)This cross-portfolio report complemented the interim phase report, Audit Report No.51 2006–07 Interim Phase of the Audit of Financial Statements of General Government Sector Entities for the year Ending 30 June 2007. The Report provided a summary of the final audit results of the audits of the financial statements of all Australian Government entities, including the consolidated financial statements for the Australian Government.

Key findings from this audit are identified below:

The ANAO is responsible for the audit of the financial statements of all the Australian ◗

Government entities. For the 2006–07 financial year, the ANAO issued 230 unmodified audit opinions (clear opinions); one qualified audit opinion; and one audit report containing ‘other legal and regulatory requirements’. This result is consistent with the trend over recent years that has seen an overall reduction in the number of audit opinions that have been qualified.

The report also discussed the ANAO’s assessment of entities’ financial statement ◗

preparation processes, noting that entity processes were generally effective, reflecting an improvement in recent years.

No.23: The Management of Cost Recovery by Selected Regulators (tabled 12 February 2008)The objective of this cross-portfolio audit was to assess whether selected regulatory agencies have cost recovery procedures and practices that comply with the Government’s

Page 337: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

guidelines. To address this objective, the audit assessed the management of cost recovery against the following criteria for regulatory agencies:

clear and consistent cost recovery procedures to identify their activities and costs, and ◗

set fees and levies

effectively implemented their cost recovery procedures ◗

regularly monitored and reviewed their cost recovery activities ◗

regularly reported on their cost recovery. ◗

Key findings from this audit are listed below:

The audited agencies employed methodologies for setting fees and levies that were ◗

consistent with the guidelines and implemented costing methodologies in accordance with internal procedures.

All of the audited agencies had internal cost recovery policies and procedures that, on ◗

the whole, complied with the Government’s guidelines. However, these were contained in a range of documents, such as standard operating procedures, minutes of meetings, consultancy reports, and cost recovery impact statements, which made them difficult for staff, customers and stakeholder to access. The ANAO recommended that, over time, agencies should consolidate their cost recovery policy and procedures into a single reference document.

Overall, the ANAO considered that all audited agencies used the reporting mechanisms ◗

available to them to report on their cost recovery activities to management and stakeholders.

No.31: Management of Recruitment in the Australian Public Service (tabled 29 April 2008)The objective of this cross-portfolio audit was to assess whether APS agencies had sound approaches to recruitment that assist in providing the workforce capability to deliver government programs effectively.

Key findings of this audit found that sound approaches to recruitment involve agencies:

establishing and implementing strategic approaches to recruitment to address current ◗

and future workforce priorities and goals

managing and supporting recruitment activities through the provision of expert advice ◗

and support, legislative and procedural guidance material, and training for staff involved in recruitment activities

conducting recruitment activities effectively and in compliance with legislative and ◗

administrative requirements

systematically monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of recruitment ◗

strategies, policies and activities.

No.37: Management of Credit Cards (tabled 3 June 2008)The objective of this cross-portfolio audit was to examine the administration of credit cards, including agency policies, controls over card issue, agency procedures and card holder obligations. With regard to agency policy, the audit examined issues such as documents governing the use of the card, descriptions of positions and work functions that would qualify for the card, payment methods and measures for dealing with improper use of the card.

Controls examined in the audit around the issue of a credit card included application for the card, utilisation of an assessment criteria against the application for the issue of a card, appointment of a delegated officer to approve the issue of the card, and the existence of a register of users. As part of the review of operational controls, this audit tested a sample of credit card transactions to assess compliance with policies and the probity and propriety of expenditure. Finally, the ANAO tested periodic reporting to the Executive (or delegated officer) on the credit card use within the agency.

Key findings from this audit are identified below:

Issuing credit cards to staff in a timely way supports efficient and effective purchasing. ◗

Cancelling a card immediately after an employee has no further operational requirements reduces the risk of the card being misused.

To minimise risks associated with credit card expenditures, agencies require an ◗

appropriate control framework covering a broad range of staff. A key element of the control framework is that agencies have policies and procedural documents with specific guidance as to the nature of reasonable credit card use, especially relating to sensitive items such as travel and hospitality.

Key controls over credit card expenditure include requiring approvals prior to credit card expenditure, setting expenditure limits, requiring appropriate supporting documentation and reviewing monthly reconciliation statements.

Judicial decisionsThere have been two judicial decisions of major significance to the Department in the 2007–08 financial year.

The decision by the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia in Secretary, Department of Family and Community Services v Waldron [2007] FCAFC 131 held, in the context of qualification for double orphan pension, that an adoptive parent is a person who has adopted a young person under the law of any place, whether in Australia or not, relating to the adoption of children.

In the context of qualification for Disability Support Pension, the Full Federal Court held in Secretary, Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs v

Jansen [2008] FCAFC 48 held that the decision concerning whether there is a medical or compelling reason for a person not undertaking further treatment is to be determined by the relevant medical officer in each case.

There is also one significant ongoing matter which may have an impact on the operations of the Department once decided. The matter of Wurridjal & Ors v The Commonwealth of Australia (M122/2007) concerns a challenge to whether certain provisions of the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007 and the Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Other Legislation Amendment (Northern Territory National Emergency Response and other Measures) Act 2007 have resulted in an acquisition of property, other than on just terms and are therefore constitutionally invalid. No decision has been made in relation to this matter as at 30 June 2008.

Social Security Appeals TribunalThe Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT) is a statutory body under the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 that conducts merit reviews of administrative decisions made under a number of enactments, in particular the social security law, family assistance law and child support law. SSAT’s primary objective is to provide a mechanism of review that is fair, just, economical, informal and quick. SSAT submits an Annual Report to the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs that is presented to the Parliament.

FaHCSIA provides advice to the Minister on SSAT related matters, and works with external stakeholders including the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, the Department of Human Services and Centrelink on matters relating to the SSAT.

Activities include:

facilitating the appointment and resignation processes for members ◗

coordinating cross-agency involvement on policy-related issues ◗

providing advice and assistance with the implementation of process improvements. ◗

A Memorandum of Understanding between FaHCSIA and the SSAT covers the administrative services support FaHCSIA provides to the SSAT. FaHCSIA financial and personnel management information systems are purchased by the SSAT to assist in performing its purchasing, accounts payment, budgeting and staff management functions.

PrivacyFaHCSIA has a strong framework of measures in place to protect the privacy of individuals. This framework includes secrecy legislation, privacy legislation, arrangements with the

Page 340: Annual Report 2007–2008resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/docs/AR0708.pdf · FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 v To help you find specific information, the report also includes:

328 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 3 corporate governance Chapter 12 Our relationships

service delivery agencies and a number of detailed measures, such as confidentiality deeds and declarations with providers and staff.

In addition to the obligations imposed by the Privacy Act 1988, legislation administered by FaHCSIA contains broad secrecy provisions that expressly prohibit the release of customer information, except in limited circumstances. Those provisions include criminal offences that may result in a term of imprisonment.

FaHCSIA’s business partnership agreements with its partner agencies include mechanisms that allow FaHCSIA to monitor and contribute to the protection of customer privacy and enables all parties to cooperate on handling matters related to privacy. See also protective security, on page 304.

Liaison with the Privacy CommissionerFaHCSIA liaises with the Privacy Commissioner on policy development related to privacy issues around social security, family assistance, Indigenous affairs and the handling of personal information.

FaHCSIA and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner participated in a joint project that produced privacy guidance materials. These consisted of information brochures, post cards and posters to assist Northern Territory liquor licensees and proprietors of remotely-located community stores to collect and use customers’ personal information in a safe and secure manner that is in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988.

Privacy CommissionerThe Privacy Commissioner received one complaint regarding FaHCSIA in the 2007–08 financial year. The complaint was resolved by the Department to the Privacy Commissioner’s satisfaction.

Privacy compliance and investigationsThe improper use and disclosure of personal information by staff, or the collection of personal information from staff, are matters treated seriously by the Department. FaHCSIA ensures that investigations are carried out in relation to any complaints or allegations of breaches of privacy or confidentiality.

Freedom of information requestsFaHCSIA handles all freedom of information (FOI) requests in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 1982. Supplementary materials, such as the FOI Guidelines, are used to inform the handling of FOI requests where necessary. These guidelines are available at: www.pmc.gov.au.

Procedures for gaining access to documentsThe FOI Coordinator in FaHCSIA provides advice on FOI matters to any interested parties and liaises with applicants.

Formal applications for access to documents under FOI must be made by letter or written request. It must be accompanied by a $30 application fee, though this may be waived in certain circumstances. The application should be submitted to the FOI Coordinator in National Office or with a State FOI Contact Officer from any of FaHCSIA’s state offices. Further details are provided at Appendix 6.

right payments to the right peopleThe Business Partnership Agreement 2006–2010 (BPA) governs the business relationship between FaHCSIA and Centrelink. The BPA sets out the performance measures and assurance mechanisms for payments and services delivered by Centrelink on behalf of FaHCSIA.

FaHCSIA ensures Centrelink has controls in place to minimise the incidence of incorrect payment and fraud. This in turn leads to a framework that maximises correct payment and the accuracy of program outlays. The success of this approach is measured through a set of performance indicators agreed to by FaHCSIA and Centrelink. For more information on fraud, see page 302.

Control of program and incorrect paymentThe FaHCSIA control framework focuses on prevention and detection of incorrect payment and fraud, and relies on a risk management approach to optimise compliance. FaHCSIA works with Centrelink to:

develop, implement and support systems and procedures to prevent, identify and ◗

investigate incorrect payments and fraud

undertake activities in debt prevention, reviews, analysis, identification, raising and ◗

recovery, as well as investigation and prosecution

monitor, analyse and report on performance ◗

inform of compliance issues, trends, projects and results. ◗

Controls are designed to be cost effective, while minimising customer impacts. Customers are promptly notified of determinations resulting from reviews that affect a rate of payment or result in a debt or action to recover a debt.

330 FaHCSIA Annual Report 2007–2008 Part 3 corporate governance Chapter 12 Our relationships

Maximising correctness of paymentsThe FaHCSIA control framework includes:

alerting customers to their obligations ◗

verifying relevant facts about customers, including their identity, personal and ◗

financial circumstances

requiring customers to provide their tax file numbers and, where appropriate, their ◗

partners’ tax file numbers as a condition for receipt of payment

requiring pensions and allowances to be paid directly into customers’ accounts to reduce ◗

the occurrence of cheque fraud

reviewing the circumstances of customers considered to be at risk of receiving ◗

incorrect payment

promptly seeking recovery of debts ◗

referring more serious cases of suspected fraud to the Commonwealth Director of ◗

Public Prosecutions.

Measuring the accuracy of outlaysThe Random Sample Survey Program provides an estimate of the accuracy and inaccuracies of program outlays and intelligence about emerging outlay risks. The surveys also provide useful information that assists the policy development process.

The Random Sample Survey also provides assurance information required under the BPA. Random samples are a point in time analysis of customers’ circumstances.

During 2007–08, on FaHCSIA’s behalf, Centrelink undertook Random Sample Surveys of:

5,000 Age Pension customers ◗

250 Carer Allowance customers ◗

1,500 Carer Payment customers ◗

2,250 Family Tax Benefit customers ◗

500 Special Benefit customers ◗

2,757 Disability Support Pension customers.* ◗

a. The rate of inaccuracy is the ratio of annualised inaccurate payment using the random sample survey results, to actual annual outlay (amounts being paid) to the same population. Because this rate is an estimate using sample data, it is subject to sampling error. The effect of the sampling error is reflected in the width of the confidence interval.

b. The random sample surveys are designed to measure inaccuracies as a result of negligence, circumstance or error. They do not capture payment errors due to deliberate fraud.

c. Estimates are 12-month moving aggregates to 31 March 2008, except for Special Benefit.d. The confidence level is 1.2 per cent to 2.6 per cent.e. Estimate based on raw figures from a sample of 250 (from a population of approximately 390,000) over 12 months

ending February 2008. Confidence interval not available.f. Data is from the March quarter 2006. The sample is too small to make a judgement on accuracy.g.

Debt raising and recoveryCentrelink raised 757,471 FaHCSIA debts (including Disability Support Pension debts and excluding child care debts) valued at $333.44 million. Of these, debts raised for recovery totalled $312.96 million with a further $20.48 million waived at determination. The recoveries amounted to $240.49 million.

Recoveries of FaHCSIA and Family Assistance Office debts by cash and withholdings amounted to $240.49 million. These figures include compensation debts. Further performance information can be found in Part 2, performance reporting, see page 41.

Total debt determined as a percentage of the undetermined debt base for the financial year was 78.3 per cent. Further performance information can be found in Part 2 performance reporting, see page 41.

Total value of debts under recovery, as a percentage of the debt base for the financial year was 70.0 per cent.

These figures exclude Family Tax Benefit reconciliation and tax return non-lodger debts.

CompensationThe compensation provisions in the Social Security Act 1991 are structured to encourage people to use private financial resources, such as compensation payments, before accessing the tax-payer funded social security system. The provisions also ensure that people who receive compensation for an injury or illness have those payments considered in the calculation of any social security benefits.

Compensation provisions provide for:

compelling people to claim for compensation where compensation may be payable ◗

recovery of past payments of social security from arrears payments of periodic ◗

compensation payments and lump-sum compensation payments

preclusion periods within which social security payments cannot be paid due to the ◗

receipt of lump-sum compensation payments

periodic payments, such as weekly workers’ compensation payments, to reduce directly ◗

dollar-for-dollar, the rate of social security payments otherwise payable—any excess is treated as income for partners of compensation recipients.

To ensure the community understands the effect of compensation on social security benefits, Centrelink provides an outreach and information service to compensation authorities and to legal, insurance, union and community representatives.

In 2007–08, application of the compensation provisions across all income support payments made under the Social Security Act 1991, administered by FaHCSIA and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, achieved estimated savings to outlays of $455.8 million.

ProsecutionsIn 2007–08, 1,016 cases of alleged social security fraud were referred to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP). The CDPP prosecuted 387 cases, resulting in 355 convictions (91.7 per cent conviction rate).

Identity fraudFaHCSIA and Centrelink work together on fraud prevention. FaHCSIA was involved in whole-of-government activities through participation in the Commonwealth Reference Group on Identity Security to combat fraud.

Budget measuresThe Budget measure, Fraud and Compliance—Age Pension—additional assessments of the value of real estate assets, and the associated education campaign announced in the 2007–08 Budget, was an extension of the 2006–07 real estate measure. The measure was implemented due to the identification of more Age Pension recipients who were likely to be affected. These age pension recipients, who hold real estate assets other than their own home, were contacted by a direct mail-out in early 2008.

The 2007–08 Budget measure, Fraud and Compliance—consistent assessment of Family Tax Benefit, provided further development of the technology-based interface between Centrelink and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). This is to ensure consistency in Family Tax Benefit (FTB) processing by the Family Assistance Office.

This measure has changed due to the 2008 Budget decision Responsible Economic Management—Better targeting and delivery of Family Tax Benefit—Streamlining administration, which removes the option for lump sum FTB payments being made by the ATO as of 1 July 2009. The measure will now target previous lump sum payments made by the ATO to ensure customers were qualified for payments.

The 2007–08 Budget measure, Fraud and Compliance—Age Pension—data exchange with the United Kingdom, provides for recipients of Age Pension who also receive a United Kingdom pension to have their Centrelink payments reviewed as a result of the implementation of a data exchange arrangement with The Pension Service (United Kingdom).

The 2007–08 Budget measure, Fraud and Compliance—transfer of death registration information, provides for the State and Territory Registrars of Birth Deaths and Marriages to provide death registration data on a daily basis to Centrelink and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

The 2007–08 Budget measure, Fraud and Compliance—preventing carer payment debt, provides for Carer Allowance and Carer Payment reviews to now focus on customers identified as being at higher risk of incorrect payment, through possible undeclared income and assets or relinquishment of care.

The tables include aggregated information on salary, performance pay and non-salary benefits to which staff were entitled under the collective agreement and individual remuneration instruments of the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) and the Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT).

The financial and staff resources summary tables that appear against each outcome and output group provide details of staffing years in terms of full-time equivalent numbers. Due to the impact of part-time employees and employees on leave without pay during the reporting period, the ‘staffing years (numbers)’ are lower than the staff numbers in the tables below, which reflect actual staff at level as recorded at 30 June 2008.

appendix 4: ConsultanCy ContraCt detailsFaHCSIA’s responsibility for both policy matters and the delivery of government services often requires the use of consultant expertise. Consultants are generally engaged when particular specialist expertise is necessary, sufficiently skilled expertise is not immediately available in-house, or independent advice on an issue is required.

The services provided by consultants include information gathering, research, data analysis, customer surveys, different types of financial activities and the provision of technical expertise.

The engagement of consultants is carried out in the same manner as the Department’s other procurement activities and is consistent with the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines and the Department’s Chief Executive Instructions. The priority is to obtain value for money. Competitive processes are, as far as possible, used for the selection of consultants, and the Chief Executive Instructions contain guidelines for the approval of expenditure.

Unless specifically exempt from reporting requirements, the Department must gazette, on AusTender, all new contracts valued at $10,000 or over. During 2007–08, FaHCSIA did not have any contracts exempt from the gazettal requirement.

Information on Australian Government consultancies and contracts can be found on the AusTender website: www.tenders.gov.au.

Categories of purposeBased on the categories currently used in AusTender (the government online contract reporting system), the main purposes (by value), for which new consultancies were let in 2007–08 were:

business administration services (approx 36 per cent) ◗

management and business professionals and administrative services ◗

(approx 35 per cent)

management advisory services (approx 4 per cent) ◗

community and social services (approx 5 per cent) ◗

legal services (approx 4 per cent) ◗

computer services (approx 4 per cent) ◗

human resources services (approx 3.5 per cent) ◗

other (approx 8.5 per cent). ◗

There are many reasons why families with high incomes can legitimately receive FTB Part A. These include:

Customers with large families. ◗

Customers who were entitled to an income support payment for part of the year. ◗

Customers whose personal circumstances have changed during the year. For example, ◗

customers who were partnered for part of the year, and had their FTB Part A entitlements cancelled for the period when they were partnered and had income above the threshold, but were entitled to FTB Part A for the period when they were not partnered.

Certain groups of customers are free of the FTB Part A income test. ◗

Child Disability Allowance (CDA) recipients are eligible for FTB Part A due to the ◗

CDA savings provisions originally introduced in 1993. CDA was not asset or income tested and CDA qualifications also entitled families to a minimum amount of Family Allowance free of any means test prior to January 1993.

Blind Disability Support Pensioners receive their income support payments and ◗

FTB Part A free of income testing in accordance with existing legislation.

Quantity indicator: Number of people cared by for clients receiving Carer Allowance. Actual Child and HCC number was not included. Text omitted: ‘Child 129,298’.

In the 2006–07 Annual Report, FaHCSIA reported 14,644 carers did not receive Carer Allowance (child) but received a Health Care Card. This figure was incorrect and should have been 19,030 carers did not receive Carer Allowance (child) but received a Health Care Card.

Family Tax Benefit (page 168)

The heading of the performance indicators (PI) at the top of the page is wrong. It is titled ‘Quality—assurance indicator: Percentage of FTB claims finalised within 21 days of lodgement’ but this title is duplicated from the table of page 166. The PI at the top of page 168 should read ‘Quantity indicator: FTB Part A with Multiple Birth Allowance; FTB Part A with Large Family Supplement’. Note that only the title is incorrect—the estimate, actual and variance information is correct.

Table 4.27 (page 362)

The table that goes over those two pages has one row missing (which should appear at the bottom of page 362 or the top of page 363) for Adjusted Taxable Income, 140,000 to less than 160,000. The totals at the bottom of page 363 include the figures from the missing row so the titles reflect what would be correct if that row was inserted in the table.

OverviewThe Aboriginals Benefit Account (ABA) is a Special Account (for the purposes of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997) established for the receipt of statutory royalty equivalent monies generated from mining on Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory (NT), and the distribution of these monies.

The ABA is administered by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) in accordance with the requirements of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (the ALRA) and the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (the FMA Act).

Responsible MinisterUnder sub-section 64(4) of the ALRA, the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Hon. Jenny Macklin, MP, is able to direct that amounts be paid, or applied to or for, the benefit of Aboriginals living in the Northern Territory.

For part of the reporting period the responsible minister was the former Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Hon. Mal Brough, MP.

Amendments made to the ALRA in 2006The Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Act 2006 (the Amendment Act) was passed by Parliament on 17 August 2006. The Amendment Act introduced a number of changes relating to the operation and functions of the ABA, including:

formalising the Minister’s ability to specify a minimum investment amount for the ABA to ◗

maintain the viability of the ABA in the longer term—section 62A

allowing the Minister to specify conditions on payments made under section 64(4)— ◗

section 64(5A)

enabling the Minister to appoint up to two members to the ABA Advisory Committee ◗

with land management, business or financial management expertise—sections 65(4) and 65(5)

allowing debits to be made from the ABA for the administration and acquisition of leases ◗

granted or transferred to approved entities under section 19A—section 64(4A).

In addition to the above changes, Land Council administration expenditure payments under section 64(1) are now approved by the Minister based on performance and need. This

Future directionsFaHCSIA is taking steps to increase the accountability and transparency of the ABA. The need for this work is expected to be borne out by the Office of Evaluation and Audit (OEA) performance audit of the ABA report, due in early 2008–09.

During the course of the next two years reforms to the operation of the ABA will be made. These changes are aimed at improving the transparency, efficiency and performance of the ABA. The ABA reform agenda includes:

strengthening governance arrangements supporting the operation of the ABA ◗

updating grant administration processes in line with grants management best practice ◗

developing a strategic financial management plan ◗

developing a performance monitoring and reporting framework. ◗

ABA output reporting structure 2007–08The ABA’s output reporting framework (detailed in Table 4.28 below) is based on the major functions of the ABA described previously. As indicated above, a performance monitoring and reporting framework is in the early stages of development to enable the ABA to report against a set of performance indicators in line with standard annual reporting requirements. It is anticipated that the ABA will commence reporting against performance indicators from 2008–09, with a complete performance reporting framework in place by 2010–11.

Royalty equivalent receiptsUnder the Northern Territory (Self‑Government) Act 1978, all Commonwealth interests in minerals in the Northern Territory, other than a prescribed substance within the meaning of the Atomic Energy Act 1953, are vested in the Northern Territory.

Title to those substances to which the Atomic Energy Act 1953 refers, principally uranium, remains vested in the Commonwealth.

Royalties in respect of uranium and non-uranium mining on Aboriginal land are paid to the Australian Government Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (DRET) and to the Royalty Branch of the Northern Territory Treasury respectively.

Following advice from these bodies and any necessary determinations made by the Minister, special appropriations are made from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) to enable funds equivalent to the amount of royalties received from mining interests on Aboriginal land be credited to the ABA. Advices are provided weekly by the Northern Territory Treasury and twice yearly from DRET, exclusive of adjustments, if applicable. These funds are public funds.

As part of the agreement, an initial payment of $5 million was paid to the Tiwi Land Council. The $5 million payment is classified as a prepayment and expensed over 15 years (refer Explanatory Note for Table 4.38).

Mining Withholding TaxUnder the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, payments made from royalty equivalents credited to the ABA, are subject to Mining Withholding Tax (MWT) at a rate specified in the Income Tax (Mining Withholding Tax) Act 1979. In accordance with the Taxation Laws Amendment Act (No. 3) 1994, the current rate of tax applied to payments of MWT is four per cent.

From 1 July 2003, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) determined the ABA to be a large Pay as You Go (PAYG) Withholder. MWT liabilities on payments made are paid twice weekly on or before due dates, in accordance with the Large withholders guide to PAYG Withholding issued by ATO.

Output Group 1.4—Strategic ManagementOverviewOutput Group 1.4 focuses on the strategic management of the ABA and the ABA Investment Portfolio. FaHCSIA is responsible for ensuring that the ABA meets its financial accountability responsibilities to the Government and the Parliament which complies with financial legislation and the ALRA.

Section 64B of the ALRA requires FaHCSIA to keep accounts and prepare Financial Statements in respect of the ABA, as determined by the Minister for Finance.

Section 64B also requires the Auditor-General to report on the Financial Statements to the Minister for Families, Housing Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

Each year FaHCSIA seeks information from relevant mining companies in relation to the quantum and timing of royalty’s payable in respect of mining on Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory.

The information is sought to facilitate the preparation of annual projections of receipts and payments for the ABA and to meet the Commonwealth budget obligations. Projections are incorporated in a cash flow spreadsheet, dissected over the twelve months of the year. Monthly projections are updated with actual figures at the end of each month.

The ABA Investment PortfolioThe investment objective of FaHCSIA, as the financial administrator of the ABA, is to ensure that the account complies with legislative obligations under both the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) and the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, whilst ensuring the ABA Investment Portfolio and bank account are managed to ensure sufficient funds are available for its statutory payments and its discretionary payments.

Monies which are surplus to immediate requirements are invested under section 39 of the FMA Act.

Investments authorised under section 39 of the FMA Act include:

securities of the Commonwealth ◗

securities guaranteed by the Commonwealth ◗

a deposit with a bank, including a deposit evidenced by a certificate of deposit ◗

any other form of investment prescribed by the regulation. ◗

introduCtionAn overview of the Department’s financial performance is provided on page 11 of this report.

FaHCSIA has continued to develop and implement improvements to its financial management framework and deliver real improvements in performance.

On 30 July 2007, the Executive Management Group (EMG) endorsed the recommendations from a report on the performance of the finance function across FaHCSIA. They agreed to create specialist Finance Managers in each group to strengthen financial practices and knowledge across the Department.

The Finance Managers are out-posted specialists reporting to the Branch Manager, Financial Management and Governance Branch. They support the Group Manager, Business and Financial Services and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) through their assistance to groups in preparing and monitoring the budget, analysing monthly financial performance, providing advice on the financial framework and ensuring staff and executives are aware of their corporate reporting and accountability obligations.

Major financial management achievements during 2007–08 include:

reductions in Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) audit findings, including a ◗

reduction in category ‘B’ findings over the year from five to zero (category B findings are matters posing moderate business or financial risks, or lesser matters previously identified by ANAO, but yet to be addressed by management)

implementation and enhancement of the Financial Management Compliance Framework ◗

Management of FaHCSIA’s finances incorporates the effective management of its assets and purchasing arrangements.

asset managementFaHCSIA significantly increased its level of asset investment over the year as the lead agency supporting the Australian Government’s presence in the NTER. The Department acquired, refurbished and deployed demountable and transportable accommodation in more than sixty communities in the NT.

FaHCSIA completed a review of its asset management framework during 2007–08, which involved the revision of asset accounting policies and management procedures and the completion of a comprehensive asset stocktake. The project included the introduction of barcode scanners to improve the efficiency and completeness of stocktake procedures.

purChasingThe Department’s purchasing activities are consistent with the FaHCSIA Chief Executive Instructions and internal procurement guidelines, which are in accordance with the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines—January 2005 (www.finance.gov.au). All activities have ensured the efficient, effective and ethical use of public monies and have delivered value for money. Purchasing decisions have been made in an accountable and transparent manner, complying with Government policies and meeting relevant international obligations.

As lead agency supporting the NTER, a Simplified Departmental Procurement Framework was approved by the Departmental Secretary in July 2007 under clause 8.2 of the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines to protect human health. The framework provided a process for considering requests to directly source providers in circumstances of extreme urgency. All decisions to support direct sourcing under these simplified arrangements were fully documented and closely monitored by the EMG. The Framework operated until February 2008 when the Secretary determined that support arrangements for the NTER were sufficient to allow the resumption of normal procurement activities.
