Details of rollovers of appropriation are published in agency annual reports and relevant instruments prepared under the Financial Management Act 1996 are tabled by the Treasurer from time to time.

The Treasurer tables information on funds allocated from the Treasurer’s advance in accordance with relevant statutory requirements from time to time.
