(1) What output costing methodology is used to allocate costs across the Minister’s department and each agency within the Minister’s portfolio, including the Cultural Facilities Corporation.

(2) What are the top ten individual depreciation costs and which assets do these refer to.

(3) What was the initial cost of the assets referred to in part (2).

Ms Burch: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The member should note that the response covers the entire Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services, (QON 916 also refers).

(1) The Department’s outputs are costed on the basis of the direct cost of delivering the output, plus an overhead component allocated on the basis of the number of FTEs in each output.

Housing ACT only has one output class “Social Housing Services”. As such, the total expenditure is the total cost for the output.

(2) The top ten individual depreciations costs for the Department and Housing ACT are building depreciation costs.

(3) The initial costs of these assets are included in the list of assets below.
