Grant Expenditure

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (24 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well): I have been advised:

The increase in grants and subsidies from the 2023-24 estimated result to the 2024-25 budget is primarily due to:

Additional expenditure on initiatives delivered through the Office for Women, largely related to activities funded under the National Partnership on Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Responses ($5.5 million).

Support for the MarionLIFE Inner South Community Hub ($1.8 million)

Additional funding for glasses and funerals concessions as part of the cost of living package ($1.0 million).

The balance of the increase largely relates to standard indexation on continuing agreements.
