Part 3 - Details of Non-Departmental Appropriations#
3.1 - Non-Departmental Output Expenses
Access to Tertiary Education (M26)
Scope of Appropriation
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by a further $27.330 million to $56.814 million for 2019/20 due to:
- establishment of a Student Hardship Fund to provide temporary financial assistance for tertiary students facing hardship from the impacts of COVID-19 ($20 million)
- provision to implement the Government's commitment to give tertiary education organisations funding certainty in 2020, regardless of any impact on domestic student numbers resulting from COVID-19. This initiative brings forward by six months funding that would have fallen in 2020/21. It has no impact on the funding paid to providers or the funding available to allocate to providers in 2021 ($4.100 million), and
- provision to support Group Training Schemes to retain apprentices in preparation for post COVID-19 economic recovery ($3.230 million).
Administration of and Support for the Tertiary Education and Careers Systems (M26)
Scope of Appropriation
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by a further $30,000 to $72.268 million for 2019/20 due to provision to implement projects led by Transitional Industry Training Organisations and Workforce Development Councils, funded through the Tertiary Sector / Industry Collaboration Projects appropriation, to develop local and industry training responses to COVID-19; design alternative arrangements for apprentices who have lost jobs; design with providers learning pathways that work for industries, and review existing training standards and programme components so they are fit for purpose as short packages of learning or as part of changed pathway designs.
Centres of Research Excellence (M26)
Scope of Appropriation
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by a further $24.900 million to $49.800 million for 2019/20 due to a six-month extension of current contracts with 10 Centres of Research Excellence to allow for delays to the normal contract renegotiation process caused by COVID-19. This reverses the expense transfer to 2020/21 included in the Supplementary Estimates.
Tertiary Sector / Industry Collaboration Projects (M26)
Scope of Appropriation
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by a further $4.100 million to $36.332 million for 2019/20 due to:
- provision for Transitional Industry Training Organisations and Workforce Development Council led projects to develop local and industry training responses to COVID-19; design alternative arrangements for apprentices who have lost jobs; design with providers learning pathways that work for industries, and review existing training standards and programme components so they are fit for purpose as short packages of learning or as part of changed pathway designs ($3 million), and
- provision to implement the Government's commitment to give tertiary education organisations funding certainty in 2020, regardless of any impact on domestic student numbers resulting from COVID-19. This initiative brings forward by six months funding that would have fallen in 2020/21. It has no impact on the funding paid to providers or the funding available to allocate to providers in 2021 ($1.100 million).
