Housing and Homelessness Funding

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning): I have been advised:

The current service agreement with Hutt Street Centre for delivery of the Aspire X program is for $4.649 million (excluding GST) for a target of 268 new client intakes over three years.

The budget commitment of $5.523 million (excluding GST) is to support Hutt Street Centre to deliver a further three years of intake into the Aspire X service, with a total of 264 new clients into the program over this period and funding through to 30 June 2030.

The additional funding for the contract extension brings the total value of the Aspire X contract to $10.172 million (excluding GST) for a total intake of 532 new clients.

Final contract outcomes are subject to negotiation with the service provider.
