delivery arrangements to the Jervis Bay Territory. The NSW Government has decided not to continue work on options for future service delivery arrangements. This decision will have no impact on the current delivery of government services to the Jervis Bay Territory community.
(2) The Australian and ACT governments will continue to work together to ensure government services meet the needs of the Jervis Bay Territory community. The Memorandum of Understanding between the ACT and Australian Governments is currently being reviewed with the objective of developing a new agreement to provide for state-type services to Jervis Bay Territory. As a part of this process, the ACT and Australian Governments are working closely with the Jervis Bay Territory community to identify opportunities to improve service outcomes.

• Primary Education
• Early Childhood Regulation
• Care and Protection
• Health Protection Services
• Environmental Monitoring
• Vehicle Registration and Drivers Licenses
• Access Canberra Services – government services and compliance activities

• 2016-17: $3,415,770
• 2017-18: $3,540,773 (note that this is the current year agreed amount but may be subject to change dependent on service needs)
(4) The provision of services by the ACT Government in Jervis Bay Territory is funded by the Australian Government through a mutually agreed yearly budget.
The Australian Government has additional arrangements with NSW state and local governments for the provision of other services to the Jervis Bay Territory.
