User Guide

The purpose of the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements), is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the portfolio. The focus of the PAES differs from the PB Statements in one important aspect. While the PAES include an Agency Resource Statement to inform Parliament of the revised estimate of the total resources available to an agency, the focus of the PAES is on explaining the changes in resourcing by outcome(s) since the Budget. As such, the PAES provides information on new measures and their impact on the financial and/or nonfinancial planned performance of programs supporting those outcomes.

The PAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (No. 3 and 4) 2013-14. In this sense the PAES is declared by the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills to be a ‘relevant document’ to the interpretation of the Bills according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Whereas the MidYear Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) 2013-14 is a midyear budget report which provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government’s fiscal performance against its fiscal strategy, the PAES update the most recent budget appropriations for agencies within the portfolio.

Structure of the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements

The PAES are presented in three parts with subsections.

Section 1: Agency Overview and Resources

1.1 Strategic Direction

The Industry Portfolio was established in the 18 September 2013 Administrative Arrangements Order and as a result the department is currently reviewing its strategic directions in line with the Government and Minister’s priorities.

The department’s overarching goal is to contribute to the growth and development of globally competitive industries and this is delivered through the department’s four objectives:

· contributing to an environment to improve the competitiveness and productivity of Australian manufacturing;

· science, development and innovation incentives and programmes;

· upskilling Australians through an industry and consumer focussed vocational education and training system; and

· an efficient and competitive resources and energy sector.

Strong corporate governance, coupled with ongoing monitoring of the operating environment, and continued engagement with key stakeholders will assist the department to meet its responsibilities.
