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

1) Intensive family support programs are provided predominantly by a range of Non-Government agencies. The programs are usually a subset of a wider range of services the agencies are funded for. Variation can occur annually as a result of new budget initiatives or one off program expenses. The budget modelling for intensive family support between 2011-12 and 2014-15 is currently based on the 2010-2011 budget expenditure which is $1,413,000 annually.

2) Funding is allocated according to program initiatives which may vary year to year. Currently 100% of the funding is allocated to services provided by non-government agencies.

3) I refer Mrs Dunne to the Report on Government Services 2012, table 15A.26 which indicates actual expenditure over these periods.
