INDIGENOUS PROGRAMS, GRANTS AND FUNDING

420 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (18 September 2012). What Indigenous programs, grants and funding were provided by each Department or Agency under the Minister's portfolio for 2011 and in each case, were these funds recurrent, current, operational or capital expenditure?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport): In 2010-11, the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology, through Participation and Equity Directorate, expended $5,221,159.00 in grant funding for program delivery which builds the capacity of Aboriginal people to gain and sustain employment; and builds the capacity of employers to employ and retain Aboriginal people.

This funding was executed through grant funding mechanisms and is a mixture of current, recurrent and one off grant payments.

These grants contribute to State Government Strategic Plan Targets (T51—Aboriginal Unemployment) and are a critical element of the State Government's commitment to reducing the gap between Aboriginal and Non Aboriginal unemployment rates in South Australia.

A detailed list of the programs, grant types and amount of funding is provided:
