Part 3: Fiscal Strategy and Outlook (continued)

Attachment D: Australia's Federal Relations (continued)

Annex A: Payments to the States

This annex provides accrual estimates of Commonwealth payments to the States (and local governments). This includes Commonwealth advances (loans) to the States, including new advances, interest on advances and repayments of advances. Most of these advances were funded from borrowings made on behalf of the States under previous Australian Loan Council arrangements.

Each table presents estimated payments to the States for the period 2015‑16 to 2018‑19 as follows:

A.1 — health;

A.2 — education;

A.3 — skills and workforce development;

A.4 — community services;

A.5 — affordable housing;

A.6 — infrastructure;

A.7 — environment;

A.8 — contingent payments;

A.9 — other;

A.10 — GST and general revenue assistance;

A.11 — payments presented on the Australian Bureau of Statistics Government Finance Statistics (GFS) functional basis; and

A.12 — advances, repayment of advances and interest payments.

(a) National Health Reform funding relates to payments for estimated services in 2014‑15 and 2015‑16. This funding has not been adjusted for the 2014‑15 reconciliation of actual state hospital activity data. The recalculation of Commonwealth funding entitlements for 2014‑15 and 2015‑16 will be determined by the Treasurer upon a final reconciliation of actual state hospital activity data by the Administrator of the National Health Funding Pool.
