SOCIAL INCLUSION BUDGET

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (25 June 2012).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised that the 2012-13 Expenses Budget breakdown of Sub-program 5.4, Social Inclusion, is as follows:

Employee Expenses—10.0 FTE (including salaries and on costs) $1,073,584
Executive Director (1.0 FTE) $220,710
Principal Policy Officer (1.0 FTE) $117,950
Principal Policy Officer (1.0 FTE) $117,950
Program Leader (1.0 FTE) $117,951
Senior Policy Officer (1.0 FTE) $109,350
Manager Gov Business (1.0 FTE) $109,350
Project Officer (1.0 FTE) $88,410
Office Manager (1.0 FTE) $76,410
Project Officer (1.0 FTE) $57,750
Administration Assistant (1.0 FTE) $57,753
Grants and Subsidies $3,065,000
Goods and Services $779,416
Total Expenditure $4,918,000

Although the 2012-13 FTE budget reported in the Agency Statements is 8.6, the current FTE budget for Social Inclusion is actually 10.0 FTE. The variance is due to a revision to how the $1.0 million savings allocated to this sub-program will be achieved after the Agency Statements were finalised.
