This handbook has been prepared to aid departments and agencies in applying effective cash management concepts and principles in order to assist them in maximising the funds available to meet the social and economic objectives of the Government.

The Non-Current Asset Policies for the Queensland Public Sector (NCAP) on this web page are mandatory for departments and statutory bodies (for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019). It is expected that agencies will adopt processes for their circumstances and operational characteristics.

The Project Commencement Approval policy outlines the approvals required by a department prior to commencing a high-value project. Compliance with this policy is mandated by Cabinet decision.

Outlines policy, framework and approval process in relation to State Government asset leasing arrangements.

Annual Leave Central Scheme Guidelines provide all member agencies with an overview of the operations of the Annual Leave Central Scheme, including the establishment and ongoing operations of the scheme.

The Air Travel Indemnity Policy provides an ex gratia payment for Queensland Government employees who have received permanent injuries or have been killed in an aircraft accident whilst on official duties.

Long Service Leave Central Scheme Guidelines provide details on scheme membership, LSL levy and claim processes and member agencies reporting responsibilities.

The Cash Funding Profile Guidelines are used by Queensland Treasury and Trade to make appropriation payments to agencies, determine the timing of payments from agencies to the Consolidated Fund, determine requirements for additional appropriation to meet unforeseen expenditure under the provisions of the Financial Accountability Act 2009, and manage the State’s short and long term cash requirements.

Departments and statutory bodies must comply with the Non-Current Asset Policies for the Queensland Public Sector (NCAP) which sets out policies designed to assist the development of a framework for the identifying, acquiring, maintaining, disposing, valuing or revaluing, recording and writing-off assets.

Queensland Treasury has issued the revised Guidelines for Machinery of Government (MOG) changes. Please complete and sign the Machinery of Government transfer sign-off form and return it to your Treasury Analyst once the transfer amounts have been agreed.

Primarily, a MOG change is the formal transfer of functions from one department to another. Although these guidelines focus on the official MOG changes to departmental functions, the principles may also be applied to other Government directed transfers such as functions transferred to, from or between statutory bodies or Government Owned Corporations.

An example is available to assist departments completing the MOG transfer sign-off form. The example is located on Treasury’s Tridata web page under ‘Support’ and then ‘Downloads’.
