Introduction
The purpose of Treasury’s Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements, is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the portfolio. They also facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (Nos. 3 and 4) 2000‑01.
Structure of the portfolio additional estimates statements
The PAES are presented in three parts with subsections.
Part A  User guide
Provides an introduction explaining the purpose of the PAES as well as information in relation to the styles and conventions used.
Part B  Portfolio overview
Provides an overview of the portfolio. The structure of the portfolio outcomes is depicted in a chart that outlines the structure of the outcomes to which the portfolio contributes.
Part C  Agency additional estimates statements
For each agency within the portfolio that has an impact on Additional Estimates a statement is presented under the name of the agency.
Section 1:  Agency overview, additional estimates and variations to outcomes
This section details the link between the resources appropriated and savings and their application to the outputs, which contribute, to the achievement of outcomes and the impact of any post Budget measures.
Section 2:  Revisions to outcomes and outputs
This section details changes to planned Government outcomes and the contributing administered items and agency outputs.
Section 3:  Budgeted financial statements
This section contains the four budgeted financial statements in accrual format covering budget year, previous year and the three outyears for each agency.
Appendices 1 and 2
This section is presented for those agencies that have changes to their departmental and administered revenue (excluding revenue directly appropriated) which are a direct result of additional estimates, or changes to its estimates of expenses from Special Appropriations.
The Glossaries provided at the end of the document include acronyms and an index.
