* Items so marked are classified as payments through the States.
(a) Provision has been made for continued funding in the forward estimates. However, the extension of the relevant agreements has not been negotiated and
therefore the amounts payable under the agreements cannot be specifically identified.
(b) The Australian Government is investing $551.8 million to 2011-12 to establish Australian Technical Colleges. Most of this funding is classified as Australian
Government own purpose expenditure.
(c) The Australian Health Care Agreements expire on 30 June 2008. Grants include funding, estimated at $152.7 million over the five years to 2009-10, to improve
care for older patients in public hospitals under the Council of Australian Governments' Health Services package.
(d) Includes funding for the Public Health Outcome Funding Agreements with the States and Territories, currently estimated at $814 million for the period from
2004-05 to 2008-09.
(e) The Australian Government's funding to the States and Territories for the fifth Supported Accommodation Assistance Program Agreement over the period
2005-06 to 2009-10 includes funding for an Innovation and Investment Fund. The States and Territories also contribute to this Fund, a component of which
is being administered as Commonwealth own-purpose expenditure until 2007-08 ($0.5 million in 2006-07 and $0.5 million in 2007-08). Innovation and
Investment Fund payments to the States and Territories are estimated at $6.7 million in 2006-07, $10.2 million in 2007-08, $10.9 million in 2008-09 and
$11.1 million in 2009-10.
(f) Consistent with Part 9 of the Native Title Act 1993 , the Australian Government has made a commitment to assist the States meet their potential compensation
liabilities for the extinguishment or impairment of native title. No agreements have been concluded and as a result there are unlikely to be any payments
made in the immediate future. Mechanisms are in place to enable funds to be made available as agreements are made and payments fall due.
(g) All figures are indicative only.
(h) The Australian Government from 2008-09 will distribute its own purpose expenditure to industry and community groups under the National Landcare
Programme Community Support Component. A review of the NLP conducted in 2006 found that direct funding, rather than through the State and Territory
governments, would provide simpler, more efficient programme delivery.
(i) The Australian Government is providing an additional $250 million for projects of strategic regional importance. The Government will announce the successful
projects in the near future. An amount of $7.5 million per annum is also being provided under the Roads to Recovery programme for work on roads in
unincorporated areas of the States.
(j) Repayments are on a cash basis and exclude non-cash flows.

* Items so marked are classified as payments through the States.
(a) The Australian Government is investing $551.8 million to 2011-12 to establish Australian Technical Colleges. Most of this funding is classified as Australian
Government own purpose expenditure.
(b) The Australian Health Care Agreements expire on 30 June 2008. Grants include funding to the States, estimated at $152.7 million over the five years to 2009-10,
to improve care for older patients in public hospitals under the Council of Australian Governments' Health Services package.
(c) Includes funding for the Public Health Outcome Funding Agreements with the States and Territories, currently estimated at $814 million for the period from
2004-05 to 2008-09.
(d) The Australian Government's funding to the States and Territories for the fifth Supported Accommodation Assistance Program Agreement over the period
2005-06 to 2009-10 includes funding for an Innovation and Investment Fund. The States and Territories also contribute to this Fund, a component of which is
being administered as Commonwealth own-purpose expenditure until 2007-08 ($0.5 million in 2006-07 and $0.5 million in 2007-08). Innovation $0.5 million in
2007-08). Innovation and Investment Fund payments to the States and Territories are estimated at $6.7 million in 2006-07, $10.2 million in 2007-08,
$10.9 million in 2008-09 and $11.1 million in 2009-10.
(e) Consistent with Part 9 of the Native Title Act 1993 , the Australian Government has made a commitment to assist the States meet their potential compensation
liabilities for the extinguishment or impairment of native title. No agreements have been concluded and as a result there are unlikely to be any payments made
in the immediate future. Mechanisms are in place to enable funds to be made available as agreements are made and payments fall due.
(f) All figures are indicative only.
(g) This programme commences in 2008-09.
(h) The Australian Government from 2008-09 will distribute its own purpose expenditure to industry and community groups under the National Landcare Programme
Community Support Component. A review of the NLP conducted in 2006 found that direct funding, rather than through the State and Territory governments,
would provide simpler, more efficient programme delivery.
(i) The Australian Government is providing an additional $250 million for projects of strategic regional importance. The Government will announce the successful
projects in the near future. An amount of $7.5 million per annum is also being provided under the Roads to Recovery programme for work on roads in
unincorporated areas of the States.
(j) Repayments are on a cash basis and exclude non-cash flows.

Table D3: Estimated specific purpose payments to and through the States, repayments of advances, advances and
interest payments, 2007-08 ($'000) (continued)
Budget Paper No. 3
* Items so marked are classified as payments through the States.
(a) The Australian Government is investing $551.8 million to 2011-12 to establish Australian Technical Colleges. Most of this funding is classified as Australian
Government own purpose expenditure.
(b) The Australian Health Care Agreements expire on 30 June 2008. Grants include funding to the States, estimated at $152.7 million over the five years to 2009-10,
to improve care for older patients in public hospitals under the Council of Australian Governments' Health Services package.
(c) Includes funding for the Public Health Outcome Funding Agreements with the States and Territories, currently estimated at $814 million for the period from
2004-05 to 2008-09.
(d) The Australian Government's funding to the States and Territories for the fifth Supported Accommodation Assistance Program Agreement over the period
2005-06 to 2009-10 includes funding for an Innovation and Investment Fund. The States and Territories also contribute to this Fund, a component of which
is being administered as Commonwealth own-purpose expenditure until 2007-08 ($0.5 million in 2006-07 and $0.5 million in 2007-08). Innovation and
Investment Fund payments to the States and Territories are estimated at $6.7 million in 2006-07, $10.2 million in 2007-08, $10.9 million in 2008-09 and
$11.1 million in 2009-10.
(e) Consistent with Part 9 of the Native Title Act 1993 , the Australian Government has made a commitment to assist the States meet their potential compensation
liabilities for the extinguishment or impairment of native title. No agreements have been concluded and as a result there are unlikely to be any payments made
in the immediate future. Mechanisms are in place to enable funds to be made available as agreements are made and payments fall due.
(f) All figures are indicative only.
(g) This programme commences in 2008-09.
(h) The Australian Government from 2008-09 will distribute its own purpose expenditure to industry and community groups under the National Landcare Programme
Community Support Component. A review of the NLP conducted in 2006 found that direct funding, rather than through the State and Territory governments,
would provide simpler, more efficient programme delivery.
(i) The Australian Government is providing an additional $250 million for projects of strategic regional importance. The Government will announce the successful
projects in the near future. An amount of $7.5 million per annum is also being provided under the Roads to Recovery programme for work on roads in
unincorporated areas of the States.
(j) Repayments are on a cash basis and exclude non-cash flows.
(k) Totals for each State and Territory exclude estimates for the new Improving Water Information programme because agreements with the States have not been
negotiated and the amounts payable cannot be specifically identified. However, totals for all States and Territories include funding for this programme.
