Definitions

Agency

An agency is an administrative unit created under the Public Sector Act 2009 or a statutory authority that is accountable for the delivery of programs on behalf of the government.

Programs and sub-programs

A program is a group of related activities that contribute to achieving one of an agency’s and, in turn, the government’s objectives. Many programs are further divided into sub-programs with more specific objectives.

Overview

The agency statements outline projected agency activity and performance for 2013–14. Each agency statement conforms to the following standard presentation structure:

• Objective — outlines the agency’s objectives

• Ministerial responsibilities — identifies the minister responsible for each program/sub-program and identifies any items administered by the agency on behalf of the minister(s)

• Ministerial office resources — details the resources provided to ministerial office(s)

• Workforce summary — summarises the agency’s workforce

• Program net cost of services summary — summarises the net cost of agency programs

• Investing expenditure summary — summarises investing expenditure for the agency

• Program/sub-program information — for each agency program/sub-program, provides a description/objective, program summary (expenses, income and full-time equivalents), financial commentary, highlights and targets, performance and activity indicators

• Financial statements — budgeted financial statements for controlled and administered items

• Summary of major variations — commentary on variances and trends in the financial statements.

Presentation of changes in program structures

Where a program or function is transferred between agencies, program information for previous years is reflected in the current program structure of the receiving agency.

In contrast, the agency financial statements line ‘net cost of providing services’ in the statement of comprehensive income is based on the actual program structure for the agency as it operated or is expected to operate in each year. This distinction in treatment is drawn so that financial statements accurately reflect events while, at the same time, program information is comparable and not duplicated.

Reconciliation of the financial statements to the current program structure is contained in the program net cost of services summary located at the beginning of each relevant agency section.

Introduction


Financial statements

The estimated financial statements included in the 2013−14 Agency Statements are special purpose financial statements and include, for each agency, a statement of comprehensive income, a statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared:

• on a basis that is consistent with Australian Accounting Standards (Australian Accounting Standards and/or interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted early)

• on an accrual basis, except for the statement of cash flows which has been derived from the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position to reflect cash payments and receipts

• using historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities that are valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, estimated transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to estimated transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Objective

The Department for Education and Child Development (DECD) has been formed with the vision of improving integration of health, family services, care and education for the benefit of children, families and communities. The inclusion of Child and Family Health Services as part of the department strengthens links between early childhood, schooling, child protection and health services.

To successfully ensure this integration, the Brighter Futures Programme will deliver structural reform to achieve the Government of South Australia’s vision of a fully integrated child development service. It will work to improve outcomes for all children and young people by harnessing the statewide capacity of families, communities, government and non-government agencies responsible for children. The program will create efficiencies and improved services by changing current practices as part of the public sector renewal program.

DECD is the lead agency for delivering the government’s Every Chance for Every Child strategic priority. This aims to create a state where all children are safe, healthy and happy, and where they get the best chance to develop, learn and become confident and successful adults.

Program 1: Early Childhood Development

Description/objective

The department is responsible for the delivery of early childhood education and care, child protection, health and wellbeing services for children, young people and families. The program recognises the importance of the parent’s role in their child’s development and builds upon establishing relationships with families to support every child to grow, learn and develop. The implementation of national and state early childhood reform agendas to improve outcomes for all South Australian children and families underpins the program.

There is a special focus on ensuring that the most vulnerable children and young people at risk of disadvantage are supported. The establishment of children’s centres across the state in areas of highest need, the provision of preschool for all four-year olds, continued collaboration across agencies and the delivery of targeted family support programs contribute to achieving this goal. The provision of quality early childhood and care services that are accessible, integrated and build effective relationships with children and families is at the core of the program.

The majority of Commonwealth Government revenue is received by DECD as an intra-government transfer from the Department of Treasury and Finance.

Financial commentary

2013–14 Budget/2012–13 Estimated Result

The $6.4 million increase in expenses is primarily due to:

• higher expenditure in 2013–14 for the Commonwealth Government funded Indigenous Early Childhood Development National Partnership ($4.3 million)

• higher employee expenditure in 2013–14 relating to the 2012 enterprise bargaining agreements ($4.2 million)

• higher de-recognition of assets in 2013–14 in respect to properties held for sale ($1.6 million)



• higher expenditure in 2013–14 for the Children’s Centres program ($0.8 million)

• higher expenditure relating to the Strong Start initiative ($0.3 million)

partially offset by

• growth in savings measures in 2013–14 ($1.7 million)

• targeted voluntary separation packages provided in 2012–13 ($1.0 million)

• higher expenditure in 2012–13 for the Commonwealth Government funded Universal Access to Early Childhood Education program ($0.9 million).

The $10.7 million decrease in income is primarily due to:

• higher revenue in 2012–13 for the Commonwealth Government funded

– Universal Access to Early Childhood Education program ($8.4 million)

– Indigenous Early Childhood Development National Partnership ($3.1 million)

partially offset by

• a higher net gain from the disposal of assets in 2013–14 ($1.3 million).

2012–13 Estimated Result/2012–13 Budget



• higher expenditure in 2012–13 relating to the Commonwealth Government funded Family Day Care program ($1.1 million)


• higher expenditure in 2012–13 for the preschool maintenance program ($0.7 million)


• expenditure allocated to this program in the 2012–13 Estimated Result previously reported in program 2 ($4.6 million)

partially offset by

• deferred expenditure from 2012–13 to 2013–14 relating to the Commonwealth Government funded Indigenous Early Childhood Development National Partnership ($2.7 million).

The $0.6 million decrease in income is primarily due to Commonwealth Government funding being re-profiled to 2013–14 in line with expected expenditure for the Indigenous Early Childhood Development National Partnership ($1.2 million).

2012–13 Estimated Result/2011–12 Actual


• higher expenditure in 2012–13 for the Commonwealth Government funded Universal Access to Early Childhood Education program ($21.0 million)


• higher expenditure for the Children’s Centres program ($2.6 million)



partially offset by


• targeted voluntary separation packages provided in 2011–12 ($0.4 million).

The $17.6 million increase in income is primarily due to:




partially offset by

• higher revenue in 2011–12 for

– the Commonwealth Government funded Low Socio-economic Status School Communities National Partnership ($1.2 million)

– revenue relating to the newly established Education and Early Childhood Registrations and Standards Board ($0.7 million).

Highlights 2012–13

• A further five children’s centres became operational, bringing the total to 31.

• Continued implementation of responsibilities as an approved provider under the National Quality Framework and support to regional and service staff in undertaking their responsibilities under the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulations.

• Continued work to develop a network of individual ‘child friendly’ communities and cities linking together to realise a statewide child-friendly vision.

• Increased the number of children enrolled in preschool in the year before full time schooling from 87.9 per cent to 96.6 per cent.

Targets 2013–14

• Establish seven additional children’s centres in 2013–14, including Aboriginal children and family centres, bringing the total to 38.

• Continue to implement responsibilities as an approved provider under the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulations to ensure services meet or exceed the national standard.

• Continue to work with communities and agencies following the release of the 2012 Australian Early Development Index results to increase the proportion of children developing well in accordance with South Australia’s Strategic Plan target T12 Early Childhood.

• Continue to integrate service delivery across agencies including the Women’s and Children’s Health Network, community health, hospitals and the Communities for Children program to improve child health and family outcomes.

Program 3: Care and Protection


The department is focussed on ensuring that the most vulnerable children and young people at risk of abuse, neglect and disadvantage are protected from harm. This is a significant responsibility, which the department undertakes in partnership with families, other government partners, the non-government sector and communities. By providing family support and child safety responses to vulnerable families, children’s safety is enhanced, which addresses the risk of harm and builds on parents’ capacity to care for their children.

Where children and young people are not able to remain safely in the care of their birth family, the department facilitates alternative care arrangements. Where this involves placing a child under the Guardianship of the Minister, the department also provides out-of-home care services and support as well as case management. To enhance our commitment to protect vulnerable children at risk of abuse and neglect, a key objective is the redesign of the way a range of care and protection services are provided. The intention of this redesign is to develop an even stronger family support focus, and for all government and non-government services to be flexible and responsive to the needs of vulnerable families.

Program 1: Country Fire Service


CFS delivers a comprehensive range of fire and rescue services to the community. Our volunteers, supported by a small team of dedicated staff, protect the community by combating bushfires; respond to fires in houses and buildings; rescue people from car crashes mostly involving high speed collisions and rollovers; isolate, contain and neutralise dangerous chemicals that have been spilt; and, in times of need, provide services to the community by assisting other agencies.

CFS engages with the community to increase people’s understanding of the risks they face from bushfire and how they can prepare for bushfire events.

When incidents occur, CFS provides information to keep the community informed of the locations and dangers involved.

CFS is an agency characterised by flexibility, depth, and responsiveness that frequently manoeuvres rapidly across the state in force to resolve an emergency incident.

CFS works with the community, industry, other agencies and local government to identify risks, reduce risks and control hazards.

CFS has strong representation in the community across South Australia. This is achieved through our 13 500 volunteers, including our cadets, who are committed to protecting their communities. CFS has 425 brigades operating across the state with a fleet of over 850 fire trucks. Local brigades contribute to out of area deployments to assist neighbouring communities, to communities elsewhere in the state, and interstate where required.

CFS has a strong focus on frontline service delivery to the community but this is only possible when it is supported by effective operational planning, infrastructure and training.

With a vision of ‘a safer community’, the CFS mission is to protect life, property and the environment from fire and other emergencies.

The $3.5 million decrease in expenses is primarily due to:

• extraordinary bushfire response costs in 2012–13 ($1.8 million)

• the budgeted reduction in E-mergency Connect project funding ($1.8 million) as the majority of the roll-out of computers and volunteer portal establishment costs were completed in 2012–13.





• extraordinary bushfire response costs ($1.8 million)

• a carryover of E-mergency Connect project funds from 2011–12 ($0.6 million)



• lower than budgeted depreciation expense in 2011–12 ($1.7 million)

• the budgeted increase and carryover of funds for the E-mergency Connect project ($1.7 million)

• the transfer of media and communications officers and website manager positions from the SA Fire and Emergency Services Commission to the SA Country Fire Service ($0.5 million)

• the indexation of supplies and services and employee expenses ($0.4 million).

Sub-program 1.3: Operational Preparedness


The goal of the operational preparedness sub-program is to prepare for excellent emergency service delivery to the community.

Operational preparedness contributes directly to community confidence in the Government of South Australia’s capability to respond to emergencies and to protect the community, infrastructure and the environment. Operational preparedness is essential to support high quality, effective emergency service delivery.

Key components include learning and development programs, the procurement and management of operational communications systems, information and communications technology, and the provision of effective equipment, vehicles, infrastructure and plant.

The MFS continues to provide its workforce with access to both nationally recognised competency-based training through the staff development framework and tertiary level qualifications through the executive development program. These programs enjoy high participation rates and have been developed and implemented through industry leading partnerships with the TAFE and university sectors.

Sub-program 1.4: Response


This sub-program provides a response service that minimises the effects of emergencies on the community. The provision of response services is the primary responsibility of the MFS metropolitan and regional operations.

The MFS is the primary provider of structural firefighting services to South Australia and is also responsible for the management of urban search and rescue, hazardous materials incidents and road crash rescue in its gazetted areas.

The risk of urban fire is expected to either remain at current levels or increase as the effects of fire prevention programs are offset by urban consolidation and an ageing and increasingly diverse population.

New risks to the community include potential chemical, biological and radiological hazards, highly inflammable modern synthetic products and greater congestion on our urban roads, which put pressure on response times.

Sub-program 1.5: Recovery


This sub-program provides recovery services that reduce the social and economic impacts of emergencies.

Recovery includes supporting communities in their reconstruction of physical infrastructure and restoration of emotional, social, economic and physical wellbeing and returning emergency service providers to a state of preparedness after responding to incidents. Key internal services include operational recovery and personnel support.

It is increasingly recognised that property value alone does not reflect the true economic impact of fire and other emergencies. The MFS has recognised the need for an increased focus on the effective recovery services both to emergency service personnel and to persons impacted by fire and other emergencies. The MFS ensures all employees are provided with access to an effective post-incident support process through an employee assistance program.

Sub-program 1.6: Business Excellence


This sub-program provides business and improvement services including risk, human resource, physical and financial management.

The sector aims to comply with AS/NZS 8000 Good Governance Principles. Key governance principles are encapsulated in the South Australian Fire and Emergency Services Commission’s (SAFECOM) governance policy and framework which place governance obligations on each agency and the board.

MFS monitors its current effectiveness, efficiency and innovation in order to set informed targets for improvement.

Since many services provided by MFS to external clients (the community) rely on third parties (including SAFECOM), it is important to ensure service level agreements are effective.

Program 1: State Emergency Service


SES provides a community based volunteer emergency service across the state. Provisions under the State Emergency Management Plan, established by the Emergency Management Act 2004, confer responsibilities on SES to act as a control agency for emergencies associated with flooding, extreme weather and structural collapse, and establishes the SES as a functional service in its own right. SES is also responsible as a hazard leader for maintaining the state plan for extreme weather including heat waves.

SES currently consists of 67 units located in both rural and urban centres across South Australia (54 units are based in rural areas). The service comprises approximately 1650 volunteers and 40 employees. SES also provides support for volunteer marine rescue organisations, their 14 flotillas and approximately 580 operational and 2000 affiliated volunteer marine rescue volunteers strategically located along South Australia’s coastline.

The rescue and support services SES volunteer units provide include:

• storm damage and flood mitigation

• general and disaster rescue

• road crash rescue

• structural collapse and confined space search

• land, air and evidence search

• animal rescue

• vertical rescue of all forms (cliffs, caves and structures)

• marine search and rescue (rivers, lakes and sea)

• operations support

• aerial observation and logistics support

• base support operations, including bushfire response staging area management.

In addition to volunteer response, training and operations, SES is also involved in community education (through the Community FloodSafe project) and emergency management activities including planning, training and support to zone emergency management committees.

Sub-program 1.1: Environment Protection


Environmental goals — these goals have a long-term horizon and are met through both direct Environment Protection Authority (EPA) regulatory and policy effort as well as through collaboration with others in government, industry and the community. There are four environmental goals associated with the purpose and objectives for this sub-program — good quality air, good quality land, good quality water and protection from noise.

The EPA exercises the powers, functions and duties of the Environment Protection Act 1993 to minimise, monitor and evaluate human impacts on the environment by:

• administering and enforcing the Act

• licensing, inspecting and auditing activities that have an impact on the environment

• undertaking environmental assessment of new developments

• delivering avoidance and reduction programs for water, catchments, air, noise and waste

• promoting best practice compliance and resource efficiency programs for licensees

• providing support to local government

• monitoring and reporting on air and water quality

• assessing and reporting on industry monitoring programs

• delivering a program of works to improve water quality in the Mount Lofty Ranges watershed and Murraylands

• developing statutory and non-statutory environmental policies

• undertaking state of the environment reporting.

Sub-program 1.2: Radiation Protection


Environmental goals — these goals have a long-term horizon and are met through both direct EPA regulatory and policy effort as well as through collaboration with others in government, industry and the community. There is one environmental goal associated with the purpose and objectives for this sub-program — protection from radiation.

The EPA exercises the powers, functions and duties of the Radiation Protection and Control Act 1982 to minimise adverse impacts of radiation on human health and the environment by:

• administration and enforcement of the Act

• assessment of applications for new radiation sources, premises and users

• monitoring and surveillance of radiation management at operating uranium mines and former mining and milling sites

• monitoring and surveillance of radiation use by industry, science, medicine, the public and in the environment

• development of options and assessment of proposals for radioactive waste management

• assessment of proposals for new projects involving radiation or radioactive materials

• development and review of statutory and non-statutory radiation protection policies

• provision of advice on ionising and non-ionising radiation protection to government departments, workers, industry and the public.

The $0.2 million decrease in 2013–14 expenses is primarily due to additional two FTE diagnostic radiographers employed for diagnostic X-ray apparatus registration and testing ending 2012–13.

The $0.2 million decrease in 2013–14 income is primarily due to a decrease in radiation protection licence fees as a result of the annual fees and charges reviews.






The $1.4 million increase in 2012–13 Estimated Result income is primarily due to:

• introduction of new Radiation licence fees in 2012–13 ($0.7 million)

• lower fees received in 2011–12 due to the delay in implementing full cost recovery from radiation protection licence fees ($0.7 million).

Highlight 2012–13

• Completed phase 3 of the third-party testing of X-ray machines.

• Develop and implement a community engagement strategy through regional NRM boards to promote education and compliance across a range of water users to encourage extraction of water within sustainable limits and in accordance with licence conditions.



• Review existing meter reading programs with a view to developing a statewide management program to prioritise compliance and monitoring activities in high risk water resource areas.

• Complete a further 10 business dealings towards the development of the Common Registry System, resulting in South Australia completing 58 per cent of the national total.

Accounting standards

The financial statements included in the 2013–14 Agency Statements are special purpose financial statements.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with:

• Australian Accounting Standards, except where these notes indicate otherwise

• accounting policies expected to be used in preparing historically orientated general purpose financial statements for that year, and the same accounting policies have been used for the subsequent forecast years (forward estimates).

Reporting entities

The financial statements include all estimated assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of individual agencies.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, estimated transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to estimated transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Activities that are ‘controlled’ are those where the agency delivers services and governs the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from these activities and assets in the pursuit of its objectives.

Generally, activities that are ‘administered’ on behalf of the government exist where an agency has no discretion to alter the resources provided or determine how they are spent.

Basis of accounting and measurement

The estimated financial statements include a statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of the estimated financial statements whereby estimated assets, liabilities, equity, incomes and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Assets

Most government assets are valued at their written-down current cost. Otherwise agencies adopt one of the following measurement bases:


• market/fair value — the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s length transaction (in many cases agencies use written-down current cost as a proxy for fair value)

• net market value — the market value after deducting costs expected to be incurred were the asset to be exchanged

• current cost — the lowest cost at which the gross service potential of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of operations.

All non-current tangible assets, with a cost of acquisition greater than $1.0 million and a useful life of more than three years, are required to be valued at fair value unless excluded from the scope of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and/or an alternative valuation is specified by another accounting standard.

All intangible assets are measured at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

All non-current assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. The most common method used for calculating depreciation expense is the straight line method.

Certain heritage assets have very long and indeterminate useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period. As such, no amount for depreciation has been recognised in respect of those assets.

Assets acquired under finance leases are amortised over the period during which the government is expected to benefit from use of the leased asset.

Employee benefits Employee benefits (including salaries and wages, annual leave, long service leave, skills and experience retention leave, sick leave and superannuation benefits) reflect those benefits accrued as a result of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Short-term employee benefits (due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employee rendered the services) are measured at a nominal amount based on the remuneration rates an agency expects to pay. Examples of short-term employee benefits include salaries and wages and annual leave.

Long-term employee benefits (not due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee rendered the service) are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. An example of a long-term employee benefit is long service leave.

Sick leave

For the majority of agencies, no liability will be recognised for sick leave.

There is no liability for non-vesting sick leave (a non-vesting entitlement is that which does not constitute a legal obligation of the employing agency until a valid claim is made by an employee or an event has occurred) if, on average, sick leave taken is less than total entitlements accruing.

Vesting sick leave entitlements are rare for state government employees.



Superannuation

For most state government controlled agencies, the Treasurer assumes the accrued superannuation liability in return for periodic payments from agencies. Therefore, unless there are contributions due but not yet paid at the reporting date, there is no superannuation liability recorded for the agency.

Two types of superannuation plans are in operation currently in the public sector: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. In a defined benefit plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to a formula based on years of membership and/or salary levels. In a defined contribution plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to accumulated contributions made to the plan together with investment earnings thereon.

Under existing arrangements, the Treasurer is liable for any net deficiency in assets for the defined benefits plans. Deficits in defined benefit superannuation plans are recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position for the Treasurer. The deficits are measured as the excess of employees’ accrued benefits resulting from services up to the reporting date over the fair value of the plan’s assets as at the reporting date.

Income recognition

Wherever possible, income is recognised when the transaction or event giving rise to the income occurs. As a result, all items of income are normally reported in the statement of comprehensive income when an agency obtains control over the respective amounts. In circumstances where it is not possible to determine objectively when control over the asset passes to the agency, the amounts are recognised upon receipt.

Appropriation

The investment program requirements for agencies included in the agency statements may be funded through operating appropriation, operating receipts, the proceeds of asset sales, grants and through Commonwealth payments. Where the investment requirements of an agency are not funded from these sources, the state government funding of an agency’s investment program will generally be treated as an equity contribution from the government, as representative owner. These contributions are treated as contributions to equity rather than income in an agency.

Funds appropriated, but not required to meet current year cash outflows will be deposited with the Treasurer and will show as an asset in the agency’s statement of financial position.

Cash alignment policy

Where agencies have returned excess cash held to the Treasurer in accordance with the cash alignment policy, the payment is generally recorded as a ‘payment to government’ in the statement of comprehensive income. Some agencies have elected to repay debt or return contributed capital with excess cash balances. These transactions will be reflected in the statement of financial position.

Rounding

All estimated amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Due to rounding, there may be instances where estimated financial statements and tables do not add correctly.
