The Government will provide funding to establish regional processing centres in Nauru and Manus Island, Papua New Guinea.
The establishment of regional processing centres forms part of the Government's response to the Report of the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers. Temporary facilities were established in Nauru in September 2012 and in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea in October 2012.
Expenditure for this measure is not for publication as the contracts to build these facilities are currently subject to commercial negotiations.
