The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) is a policy, programme and service delivery agency that supports a prosperous and inclusive Australia through the maintenance of strong borders, well-managed migration, refugee protection, and the promotion of Australian citizenship.
DIBP makes a significant contribution to national security, the economy and
Australian society. The functions of the department cover a range of government priorities including managing our borders in partnership with other agencies, meeting our obligations to help the world’s most vulnerable people, responding to the demand for skilled migrants to develop the Australian economy, and enhancing our global connections, particularly within our region.
DIBP continues to work in a complex environment and provides a forward looking focus to respond to Australia’s future needs. Collaboration with other government agencies as well as the private sector and community groups is a priority for a department committed to the continuous improvement of its policies, programmes and services.
DIBP continues to improve and streamline operations in the current fiscal environment and to position itself to respond innovatively to future challenges.
The strategic priorities for the department in 2014-15 are to:
 work with the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service to position the department for fundamental changes to portfolio administrative arrangements, including the integration of functions through a multi-phased approach into one consolidated department. This will include additional investment in border, enforcement and intelligence capabilities with integration to be completed by 1
July, 2016
 contribute to the protection of Australia’s borders and combat people smuggling in partnership with the Joint Agency Task Force and other agencies implementing
Operation Sovereign Borders
 support and build the capability of regional partners to implement offshore processing arrangements

Decisions taken but not yet announced -
1. The funding DIBP will receive in 2013-14 for this measure is $15.5 million for administered and
$0.3 million for departmental, a total of $15.8 million. The difference is due to decisions taken prior to
Budget but not yet announced. DIBP funding in 2014-15 for this measure will reduce by $270.9 million in administered and increase by $0.9 million in departmental, and in 2015-16 increase by $401.3 million in administered and $150.2 million in departmental. This means a total reduction in 2014-15 of $270.0 million, and a total increase in 2015-16 of $551.5 million. The difference is due to decisions taken prior to
Budget but not yet announced.

The Administrative Arrangements Orders (AAO) of 18 September 2013 required the transfer of administrative responsibility of the Adult Migrant English Program
(AMEP) functions to the Department of Industry (DOI), and Settlement and
Multicultural Affairs functions to the Department of Social Services (DSS).
DIBP has agreed with both DOI and DSS the funding transfers relating to these functions consistent with the AAO changes. Funding transfers have been executed in line with Section 32 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997(FMA Act), and are reflected in the budget statements.

As outlined in the portfolio overview, DIBP’s purpose is to ‘build Australia’s future
through the well managed entry and settlement of people’. DIBP’s outcomes and programmes have been restructured to better align business functions, simplify our approach and provide greater transparency regarding programme costs. This revised structure incorporates the Machinery of Government changes outlined in Section 1.4 above.
DIBP continues to deliver programmes that contribute to national security, the economy and Australian society. The revised outcomes reflect these key dimensions of our department’s business.
Outcome 1 – Support a prosperous and inclusive Australia through managing temporary and permanent migration, entry through Australia’s borders, and
Australian citizenship.
Outcome 2 – Support Australia’s international and humanitarian obligations by providing protection, resettlement and assistance to refugees and those in humanitarian need, including through arrangements with other countries.
Outcome 3 – Support Australia’s border protection through managing the stay and departure of all non-citizens.
The number of outcomes has been revised from six to three and the number of supporting programmes has been reduced from 23 to 13. For reporting purposes, the new outcome and programme structure will apply from the 2014-15 financial year. The outcome statements have been updated accordingly and a transition map for each outcome is provided below.
