Youth Justice State Plan

1353 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (11 September 2019). The 2019-20 budget papers indicate expenditure of only $522,000 on grants and subsidies in the Youth Justice program, compared with a 2018-19 budget of $738,000. Explain why the full budget allocation was not provided in grants and subsidies?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:

DHS provides two grants through the Youth Justice program. One grant is to the Training Centre Visitor and the other to the Australian Red Cross Society. The full budget allocation to these organisations was made in 2018-19. The variation between the 2018-19 budget and 2018-19 Estimated Result (Revised Budget) was due to variations in the corporate overhead which is allocated across the department's programs.
