(a) Grant funding from the Department of Family and Community Services in 2015-16 to Multicultural NSW is subject to a one-off adjustment as part of a whole-of-government initiative to improve cash management.

Surplus cash will be used by Multicultural NSW as a funding source in 2015-16. While the change in funding in 2015-16 will impact on the level of net assets at June 2016, it will have no impact on the level of approved expenditure or the agency’s capacity to fund its liabilities.
