Volunteer Services

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (28 July 2015). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

Estimated income for 2015-16 in the Agency Statements, Sub-program 6.6: Volunteer Services is $20,000 and relates to advertising cost recoveries for the Community Voices Program.

The variance between the 2013-14 figures and 2015-16 figures is a result of the recovered funds for airtime actually purchased ($49,000) on behalf of Flinders University and community organisations, which had contributed additional funding, being higher than the 2015-16 estimated budget figure of $18,000.
