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

The Principles for Fees and Charges Policy provides agencies with broad guidelines on the setting of fees and charges. It includes discussion of general overarching principles, guidance and requirements for introducing new fees and charges and reviewing existing fees and charges, and Government’s indexation policy (incl. the fee unit model).

The purpose of the Cross-Agency Funding Framework (the Framework) is to outline the options available to Government and departments to fund cross-agency initiatives. Specifically, the Framework provides alternative models for how funding can be distributed to agencies, i.e. how best to get funding from the centralised Consolidated Fund out to departments (who then distribute funds to other entities where required). The models can be applied whether an initiative is funded from internal sources, from a reprioritisation of existing funding, or by new funding. Several agencies already utilise the Framework’s models, albeit on an informal basis.

The Framework provides for three broad types of funding models:

• Lead agency funding
• Multi-agency funding (simple), and
• Multi-agency funding (complex).

The funding approach adopted will depend upon the complexity surrounding the initiative, particularly the number of agencies involved.

The purpose of the Company Financial Reporting policy is to outline the annual financial reporting requirements for Public Sector companies established under the Corporations Act 2001.
