USER GUIDE
TO THE
PORTFOLIO BUDGET STATEMENTS
USER GUIDE
The purpose of the 2014-15 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) is to inform Senators
and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government
outcomes by agencies within the portfolio. Agencies receive resources from the annual
appropriations acts, special appropriations (including standing appropriations and
special accounts), and revenue from other sources.
A key role of the PBS is to facilitate the understanding of proposed annual
appropriations in Appropriation Bills No. 1 and No. 2 2014-15 (or Appropriation Bill
[Parliamentary Departments] No. 1 2014-15 for the parliamentary departments). In this
sense the PBS are Budget related papers and are declared by the Appropriation Acts to
be ‘relevant documents’ to the interpretation of the Acts according to section 15AB of
the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
The PBS provide information, explanation and justification to enable Parliament to
understand the purpose of each outcome proposed in the Bills.
As required under section 12 of the Charter of Budget Honesty Act 1998, non-general
government sector entities are not consolidated into the Commonwealth general
government sector fiscal estimates and accordingly, these entities are not reported in
the PBS.

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
Portfolio Overview
IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION PORTFOLIO
OVERVIEW
Ministers and Portfolio Responsibilities
The portfolio has two Ministers, the Hon Scott Morrison MP, the Minister for
Immigration and Border Protection, and Senator, the Hon Michaelia Cash, Assistant
Minister for Immigration and Border Protection.
The portfolio agencies—all of which are Financial Management and Accountability
Act 1997 (FMA Act) entities—are:
 the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP)
 the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS)
 the Migration Review Tribunal and Refugee Review Tribunal (MRT–RRT).
During financial years 2014-15 and 2015-16, DIBP and the ACBPS will progressively
transition into a single Department of Immigration and Border Protection. This
includes the establishment of the Australian Border Force —a single frontline
operational border agency with statutory responsibilities to enforce our customs and
immigration laws— within the department. The Australian Border Force will draw
together the operational border, investigations, compliance, detention and enforcement
functions of the two existing agencies. Policy, regulatory and corporate functions will
combine within the broader department.
At a consolidated level the average staffing level is forecast to decrease from 14,304,
including Locally Engaged Employees (LEEs), to 13,824, a reduction of approximately
480 full time positions. The reduction of 480 includes the effect of the Machinery of
Government changes of 18 September 2013 for functions transferred out of both
agencies.
During 2014-15, the Migration Review Tribunal and Refugee Review Tribunal will
work with other key Commonwealth external merits review agencies and relevant
departments to implement the Government’s decision to amalgamate the
Administrative Appeals Tribunal, Migration Review Tribunal, Refugee Review
Tribunal, Social Security Appeals Tribunal and Classification Review Board with effect
from 1 July 2015.

Portfolio Overview
Department of Immigration and Border Protection
DIBP’s purpose is: building Australia’s future through the well-managed entry and
settlement of people.
DIBP’s business is to:
 contribute to Australia’s future through managed migration
 contribute to Australia’s security through border management and traveler
facilitation
 promote Australian citizenship
 protect refugees and contribute to humanitarian policy internationally
 make fair and reasonable decisions for people entering or leaving Australia,
ensuring compliance with Australia’s immigration laws and integrity in decision
making.
Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority
The Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA), a discrete office
attached to DIBP from 1 July 2009, regulates the activities of the Australian migration
advice profession in order to provide consumers of migration advice services with
appropriate protection and assurance.
OMARA is supported by an Advisory Body comprising a diverse range of
stakeholders. Planned performance information is included in the DIBP Budget
Statements, Section 2 Contributions to Outcome 1.
Australian Customs and Border Protection Service
As the primary border agency, the ACBPS is responsible for protecting the safety,
security and commercial interests of Australians through border protection designed
to support legitimate trade and travel, and to ensure collection of border revenue and
trade statistics. The ACBPS is also the lead agency for civil maritime security in
detecting, reporting and responding to unlawful activity in Australia’s offshore
maritime zone.
The ACBPS undertakes its role with, and on behalf of, dozens of other agencies to
protect the border, a strategic national asset fundamental to both national security and
economic prosperity.
Migration Review Tribunal and Refugee Review Tribunal
The MRT-RRT provides an independent and final merits review of decisions made in
relation to visas to travel to, enter or stay in Australia.
MRT-RRT is established under the Migration Act 1958 (Migration Act), and their
jurisdiction and powers are set out in the Migration Act and in the Migration
Regulations 1994. Both tribunals operate as a single agency for the purposes of the
FMA Act.

1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
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
 resolve the status of the legacy cohort of Illegal Maritime Arrivals (IMAs)
13
DIBP Budget Statements
 review visa programme settings to ensure that migration continues to contribute to
Australia’s productivity into the future
 build our capability to facilitate a significant increase in border crossings and trade
whilst maintaining the integrity of the border and our programmes
 strengthen the protection status determination system
 simplify our business by contributing to decreasing the costs of excessive regulation
and streamlining processes
 build more efficient and effective ways of delivering our services, including the use
of digital channels as our default form of delivery
 strengthen our key relationships to leverage knowledge and experience in areas of
mutual interest
 build leadership at all levels, and foster a culture of excellence, innovation and
empowerment
 manage cost and invest in forward planning and long term sustainability to
position the department well for the future.

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.
2. 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.

MACHINERY OF GOVERNMENT CHANGES
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.
1.5
TRANSITION FROM SIX OUTCOMES TO THREE OUTCOMES
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.
21
DIBP Budget Statements
Outcome 1: Transition Map
The majority of the Settlement Services for Migrants and Refugees, and Multicultural
Affairs programmes transferred to the Department of Industry and the Department of
Social Services as a part of the Machinery of Government changes announced on
18 September, 2013.
Citizenship testing and the Translating and Interpreting Service components remained
with DIBP and have been included in Outcome 1.
Outcome 2: Transition Map
The Supervision and Care of Unaccompanied Humanitarian Minors and the Grant to
Refugees Council of Australia components have remained with DIBP and have been
included in Outcome 2. Note the Returns and Reintegration Assistance Packages
component of the Regional Cooperation and Associated Activities programme is
incorporated in Outcome 3. The remaining components are incorporated in Outcome 2
as shown above.
22

Section 2: Outcomes and Planned Performance
2.1
OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programmes are the
primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programmes which
contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programmes, specifying the
performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of
DIBP in achieving government outcomes.
Outcome 1: Support a prosperous and inclusive Australia through managing
temporary and permanent migration, entry through Australia's borders, and
Australian citizenship.
Outcome 1 Strategy
Outcome 1 contributes to Australia’s economic and social prosperity through the
provision of visa services, inclusive and secure policy, programme development in
relation to permanent migration and temporary entry, as well as a strong and cohesive
Australian society through the promotion of a unifying citizenship. This will be
achieved through:
 a cohesive, inclusive and secure policy framework that supports the effective
delivery of the government’s expectations
 a targeted deregulation agenda that reduces impost to industry, business and
clients
 policy development and programme accountability in line with the government’s
migration and visa reform agendas
 migration and temporary entry that contributes to economic and social growth with
enhanced integrity measures
 effective delivery of client services through designated channels which meet
reasonable client expectations
 implementation of government policy supportive of the objectives of Australia’s
immigration and citizenship law
 maintaining the integrity of Australia’s citizenship programme while promoting
the acquisition, and recognition within the community, of the importance of
acquiring Australian citizenship
 enhanced ability to acquire and use identity information through the further
development of international and inter-jurisdictional agreements and the wider use
of biometric technology
24
DIBP Budget Statements
 support of law enforcement and security agencies in preventing the entry of people
who are a direct or indirect threat to the Australian community and to national
security, and a contribution to the government’s efforts in relation to counter
terrorism activities through the use of information, intelligence and technology
 working with both national and international border agencies to develop new
intelligence led, risk-based entry policies and procedures to detect and minimise
identity and document fraud
 contribution to whole of government initiatives to counter identity fraud,
transnational organised crime and offshore emergencies.
DIBP’s progress is measured on the development and implementation of the
government’s agenda including:
 effective skills-targeting within the permanent migration and temporary entry
programme to support industry and businesses
 continued enhancement of the student programme
 ongoing development of the working holiday, visitor and specialist entry
programmes
 a robust and sustainable family reunion programme
 a communication strategy that promotes the value and acquisition of Australian
citizenship.
DIBP’s performance will be measured by:
 effective deregulation of the current migration and temporary entry programmes
 delivery of the 2014-15 Migration Programme within the parameters and policy
guidelines set by the Government
 evidence-based policy formation and decision making including relevant research
and evaluation, stakeholder input and expert opinions.

BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.2.1 Analysis of Budgeted Financial Statements
An analysis of the primary source of movements between the financial statements
published in the 2013-14 Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES) and the
2014-15 Portfolio Budget Statements is provided below.
Budgeted departmental comprehensive income statement
Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) is budgeting for a breakeven departmental operating result, adjusted for depreciation and amortisation
expense, in 2014-15.
This statement presents the expected financial result for DIBP and identifies expenses
and revenues on a full accrual basis.
Expenses
In 2014-15, total departmental expenses are expected to increase from $1,465.5 million
(as published in the 2013-14 PAES) to $1,584.3 million, an increase of $118.8 million.
This movement reflects a decrease of $1.5 million due to the net impact of new
measures in Budget and an increase of $121.2 million from other variations.
Full details of the additional funding for 2014-15 for new measures and other
variations are provided in the tables presented in Section 1 of this document.
Income
In 2014-15, total departmental revenue is expected to increase from $1,366.4 million
(as published in the 2013-14 PAES) to $1,485.2 million. The movement is primarily due
to an increase in Revenue from Government (appropriation revenue) of $119.7 million
offset by a small decrease in DIBP’s own source revenue of $0.9 million.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
This statement reports the financial position of the department, its assets, liabilities and
equity.
In 2014-15, total departmental assets are expected to decrease from $799.7 million (as
published in the 2013-14 PAES) to $784.9 million. The decrease of $14.8 million is
mainly due to trade and other receivables ($12.1 million) and expenditure on computer
software ($5.2 million). This decrease is partially offset by an increase across a number
of other asset categories ($2.5 million).
Equity is also expected to decrease from $388.6 million (as published in the 2013-14
PAES) to $382.5 million. The decrease of $6.1 million in departmental equity mainly
50
DIBP Budget Statements
reflects the change in the Accumulated Deficit in relation to the 2014-15 operating
result.
Budgeted departmental statement of cash flows
The cash flow statement reports the extent and nature of cash flows, grouped
according to operating, investing and financing activities.
The budgeted cash flows largely mirror the trends and impacts of the measures
reported above for the income statement and balance sheet.
Capital budget statement—departmental
This statement reports the forward plan for capital expenditure.
Statement of asset movements
This statement reports the budgeted movements by asset class of the department’s
non-financial assets during the current financial year.
Schedule of budgeted income and expenses administered on behalf of
government
This schedule identifies the main revenue and expense items administered by the
department on behalf of the government.
Expenses
In 2014-15, administered expenses are expected to decrease from $3,122.3 million
(as published in the 2013-14 PAES) to $2,480.8 million, a decrease of $641.5 million. The
change in administered expenses reflects an increase in government decisions of $12.5
million and a decrease of $654.0 million in other adjustments across all outcomes.
Income
In 2014-15, the department will administer the collection of revenue on behalf of the
Government of $1,684.2 million, which is an increase of $3.4 million in the
administered revenue estimate published in the 2013-14 PAES.
Schedule of budgeted assets and liabilities administered on behalf of
government
This schedule reports assets and liabilities administered by the department on behalf
of the government.

MIGRATION REVIEW TRIBUNAL AND REFUGEE REVIEW
TRIBUNAL
Section 1: Agency Overview and Resources
The Migration Review Tribunal (the MRT) and the Refugee Review Tribunal (the RRT)
are statutory bodies providing a final, independent merits review of visa and visarelated decisions made by the Minister or delegates of the Minister for Immigration
and Border Protection.
The MRT and the RRT (the tribunals) are established and operate under the Migration
Act 1958 (the Migration Act). The tribunals' jurisdictions, powers and procedures are
set out in the Migration Act and the Migration Regulations 1994. The tribunals
comprise members (appointed by the Governor-General under the Migration Act for
fixed terms) and staff (appointed under the Migration Act and employed under the
Public Service Act 1999). The tribunals operate as a single agency for the purposes of the
Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The key strategic priorities for the tribunals are to deliver independent and timely
reviews and lawful decisions.
Each review has to be conducted in a way that ensures, as far as practicable, that an
applicant understands the issues and has a fair opportunity to respond to any matters
which might lead to an adverse outcome. The tribunals have published a Strategic Plan
which sets out the tribunals’ strategic direction through to 2016.
The plan outlines our commitment to providing independent, expert review of
migration and refugee decisions that is efficient and accessible, and the strategies and
actions which will support this.
The number of reviews conducted during a year depends on the types of applications
that are made, the availability of members, staff resources and impacts that case law
and legislative changes may have on the conduct of reviews. The estimates are based
on the tribunals conducting 18,000 reviews in 2014-15 with any adjustments based on
actual demand to be proposed at additional estimates.

Section 2: Outcomes and Planned Performance
2.1
OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Outcome 1: To provide correct and preferable decisions for visa applicants
and sponsors through independent, fair, just, economical, informal and quick
merits reviews of migration and refugee decisions.
Outcome 1 Strategy
The tribunals operate in a high-volume decision-making environment where the case
law and legislation are complex and technical. In this context, fair and lawful reviews
are dependent on a number of factors, including adequate numbers of skilled member
and staff resources, and the success of strategies to respond to a substantial growth in
caseloads.
Programme Objective
The MRT and the RRT are established and operate under the Migration Act.
Sections 353 and 420 respectively state:
The tribunals shall, in carrying out its functions under this Act, pursue the objective
of providing a mechanism of review that is fair, just, economical, informal and
quick.
Program Expenses
The tribunals’ expenses are directly related to the conduct of reviews. The tribunals’
caseload is determined by the level and outcome of visa and related decisions made
within DIBP. Changes in visa criteria, the demand for visas and to the tribunals’
jurisdictions may affect the number of persons who may apply to the tribunals for a
review of a decision.
72
MRT-RRT Budget Statements
Programme 1.1 Deliverables
Merits review is an administrative reconsideration of a case. The principal objective
of merits review is to ensure that the correct or preferable decision is reached in each
case on the facts before the review body. The decisions of the review body should
also improve the general quality and consistency of decision-making, and enhance
openness and accountability.
The program deliverables are essentially the decisions that the tribunals make on
individual applications for review. The tribunals may set aside or vary decisions
under review, substitute another decision, or remit cases to DIBP for consideration
with directions. The tribunals are required to provide written statements of
decision, which must set out the reasons for the decision, set out the findings on any
material questions of fact, and refer to the evidence or any other material on which
findings of fact were based.
The tribunals are required by law to conduct hearings at which applicants can give
oral evidence and present arguments, and where other persons can give oral
evidence. The tribunals are required by law to invite an applicant to comment on or
respond to information or issues that may lead to a decision under review being
affirmed.
The tribunals publish decisions of particular interest.

AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION
SERVICE
Section 1: Agency Overview and Resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
How borders are managed can foster or impede lawful trade and travel. Border control
points, systems and processes sit astride supply chains and travel pathways for both
licit and illicit trade and travel.
The very design of these points, systems and processes can add to economic
competitiveness and productivity, by fostering rapid movement and border entry or
exit. Alternatively, they can detract from competitiveness and productivity by
impeding entry and exit for legitimate traders and travellers thereby diminishing the
efficiency of our national infrastructure. Managed poorly they can increase national
security risk and lessen community safety.
The Australian border is a national asset, possessing both economic and strategic
value. The border is a complex continuum, stretching onshore and offshore.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS or the Service) is
responsible for protecting the safety, security and commercial interests of Australians
by delivering effective border protection.
The increasing integration of the Australian economy into the global economy
continues to place pressure on facilitation and intervention at the border. The illicit
economy is driven towards globalisation by the same factors as the legitimate
economy. Organised crime groups are growing and diversifying their interests as
access to illicit markets expands and opportunities to disguise illicit movements
increase. The increasing volume and complexity of international trade and travel can
mask attempts to circumvent the rules of legitimate trade and travel and avoid
revenue obligations.
The Service’s core functions are to target and prevent criminality whilst fostering
legitimate travel and trade and collecting border revenue and trade statistics.
The Service’s capabilities have been challenged by the pace of these changes in the
global environment.
The Government has decided that from 1 July 2015 the Australian Border Force will
come into existence as a single operational frontline border protection agency
undertaking a range of operations and tasks including daily border control operations;
investigations, compliance and enforcement activities; and immigration detention and
removal tasks. This will create a single investigations, compliance and enforcement
capability that will deal with immigration and customs infringements. The Australian
Border Force will be positioned within the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection performing the corporate, regulatory and policy functions.

ACBPS Budget Statements
In 2014-15 ACBPS will begin work to deliver reforms towards a more flexible and
mobile resource deployment model. ACBPS will create the vocational streams of the
future Australian Border Force, upgrade critical intelligence and analytical capabilities
and improve enforcement capabilities. This will ensure that interventions at the border
are intelligence-led and the future Australian Border Force can become a disciplined,
uniformed and when required, armed front-line service.
In 2014-15 the Service will meet the current and emerging challenges at the border
through:
-
establishing a Strategic Border Command to institute formal command and
control of the border and improve the supporting capability to ensure
systematic, informed and deliberate deployment of effort against risk
-
establishing the National Border Targeting Centre to enable the participating
agencies to use shared systems and information to provide a nationally
coordinated approach to managing the risk posed by travellers and goods and
inform better operational responses
-
enhancing intelligence systems and analytical capability required to support
better intelligence threat and risk assessments and the needs of the NBTC and
partners
-
designing a stable, scalable traveller processing platform capable of supporting
next generation gates
-
designing a Trusted Trader programme to foster legitimate trade
-
enhancing technology systems including improvements to computing power
to process massive data holdings
-
increasing remote area patrols and procuring three vessels
-
establishing a College to deliver the professional, technical and operational
training Border Force officers will need to work effectively within the future
border environment.
To implement these initiatives will require finalisation of workforce planning which
commenced in 2013-14. This will see a slight drop of approximately 80 ASL over
2014-15 which reflects 2013-14 Machinery of Government changes resulting in the
transfer of the Anti-Dumping Commission to the Department of Industry as well as
aligning officers’ skills to deliver the future Australian Border Force.
In addition, the ACBPS has been provided funding of $3.7 million in 2014-15 only for
the Combating people smuggling –international engagement measure. This measure
provides for the continuation of effort in engagement and capacity building activity in
the short to medium term to sustain the drop in Illegal Maritime Arrivals. The funding
will also provide for locally engaged staff to assist with the ongoing engagement effort
which remains crucial to permanently breaking people smuggling business models.
From 2014-15 the government will provide $480.5 million over four years
($711.9 million over six years, including $438.7 million in capital funding). The cost of
this measure will be met from within the existing resources of both the Service and the
Department of Immigration and Border Protection and improved revenue collection of
$208.2 million over four years ($346.6 million over six years) through the use of
analytics and detailed data modelling, new processes for revenue collection and a
targeted campaign to improve compliance.

Section 2: Outcomes and Planned Performance
2.1
OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programmes are the
primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programmes that contribute
to government outcomes over the budget and forward years.
The Service’s outcome is described below together with its related programmes,
specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the
performance of the ACBPS in achieving government outcomes.
Outcome 1: The protection of the safety, security and commercial interests of
Australians through border protection designed to support legitimate trade
and travel and ensure collection of border revenue and trade statistics
Outcome 1 Strategy
The Service’s key strategies towards achieving Outcome 1 are:
Programme 1.1 Border Enforcement
 manage border risks through intelligence-led interventions that enable targeted
inspection and examination of people and goods at the border, whilst streamlining
border processes for legitimate trade and travel
 support collaborative cross-agency civil maritime security activities including
intelligence analysis, coordinated surveillance and on-water response, and working
ahead of the border with international partners to provide controls for maritime
security threats
 continue to develop highly sophisticated and effective intelligence and targeting
capabilities
 partner with law enforcement agencies to address risks and vulnerabilities at the
border through joint operations and sharing of intelligence.
Programme 1.2 Border Management
 develop and coordinate border management policies, in conjunction with partner
agencies, to deliver Australia’s customs, trade and industry policy
 facilitate legitimate trade and travel by co-designing the ACBPS’s services in a way
that streamlines the trade and travel experience, identifying and enhancing new
business systems to maximise service delivery
 support an open economy by ensuring compliance with the rules of trade so that
competition occurs on a level playing field and the benefits of competition flow
through to the Australian economy.
95
ACBPS Budget Statements
Programme 1.3 Border-Revenue Collection
 maintain border-related revenue collection capabilities
 improve the Service’s understanding of economic risk
 assess, report, collect and pay border-related revenue, including the application of
refunds, concessions and exceptions
 undertake an effective risk-based compliance programme, utilising pre- and
post-clearance monitoring and intervention activities to promote observance of
Australian border laws as they relate to revenue reporting and payment obligations
 effectively administer the Tourist Refund Scheme.
Cross-Programme strategies:
 foster collaboration with domestic and international partners to enable the Service
to operate across the entire border continuum
 be proactive and responsive to the challenges of the border environment through
the Reform Programme, transitioning to a new business model, modernising
business processes and systems, augmenting workforce capability and
strengthening the Service’s integrity culture and layered anti-corruption measures
 operate efficiently and effectively to achieve a sustainable four-year budget across a
number of diverse operational requirements by continuing to develop priority
settings to align with resource allocation
 maintain investment in key capital infrastructure that supports the Service’s
intelligence-led approaches as well as capability to support the Service’s operations
across a diverse range of activities protecting Australia’s border.

99
ACBPS Budget Statements
Programme Expenses
 programme 1.1 is budgeted to incur total expenses of $957.9 million in 2014-15,
an overall decrease of $1.3 million when compared to total expenses provided in
2013-14. The decrease is a function of a reduction in annual departmental
expenses of $9.9 million offset by an increase in expenses not requiring
appropriation in the budget year of $8.6 million.
 the reduction in funding for the departmental expenses between 2013-14 and
2014-15 and the forward estimates is the result of previous decisions of
government and the net impact of new government decisions, including new
funding agreed for the 2014-15 budget year for the Smaller Government strengthen and enhance Australia’s border protection services measure ($20.1 million)
offset by the reduction in funding of $1.4 million due to the Efficiency dividend – a
further temporary increase of 0.25 per cent measure. The reduction between 2014-15
and 2015-16 is primarily due to the cessation of funding for the ACV Ocean
Protector in June 2015 ($53.2 million).The 2014-15 budget year and forward
estimates are also impacted by other minor movements in the estimates arising
from parameter adjustments and whole of government savings.
 the increase in expenses not requiring appropriation for Programme 1.1 from
2014-15 to 2016-17 reflects the increase in depreciation associated with the
recognition of a number of maritime assets that become fully operational across
these years including the Long Term Ashmore Capability (LTAC) and Cape
Class Fleet and other assets funded by the Smaller Government - strengthen and
enhance Australia’s border protection services measure.

Note: Targets relating to deliverables across the forward estimates have been developed on the basis of
the operational risks and environment that existed when the 2014-15 Portfolio Budget Statements were
developed. Due to the dynamic nature of the operational environment, future targets may need to be varied
depending on the risks faced at that time.

All cargo is risk assessed.
Inspection may include the use of technologies (including x-ray), detector dogs.
Examination means physically opened by the ACBPS.
The targets are based on the contribution made by both ACBPS and Defence Force assets. The
reduction in 2015-16 and 2016-17 reflects the cessation of funding for 2,000 aerial surveillance hours
delivered by Reims aircraft in 2014-15. The targets for 2014-15 onwards are based on the premise that
funding for increased surveillance hours will be fully allocated to the Dash-8 aircraft with the reduction in
2017-18 reflecting the cessation of this additional funding.
Deliverable for 2014-15 comprises 92 patrol days for the ACV Ocean Protector and 80 days for the
ADV Ocean Shield. Funding for ACV Ocean Protector will terminate 31 December 2014.
Funding for the ongoing programme will be considered at a future date.
Programme will terminate in December 2014.
Ashmore Guardian was deployed near-permanently at the Ashmore Reef National Nature Reserve and
Cartier Island Marine Reserve until December 2013. The vessel will be replaced by a long-term
capability expected to be operational in mid-2014.
In addition to the ACBPS Marine Unit assets, on any given day, the Australian Navy provides seven of
the fourteen Armidale Class Patrol Boats in support of Operation Resolute. Another two boats can also
be made available on request.
The increase in targets for the budget and forward years reflects the additional deliverables /
appropriation for the Tackling Crime - increased cargo and mail screening at the border measure.
The amalgamation of previous measures (number of parcels / EMS / registered items inspected and
number of letter class mail items inspected) will enable a more flexible response to shifts in risk
between mail classes and more effective management of increasing volumes.
Formal investigation is conducted by the Investigations, Compliance and Enforcement (ICE) and
Special Investigations and Programmes (SIP) branches.

Programme 1.2: Border Management
Programme Objective
The Border Management programme provides the legislative and policy framework
that underpins our Border Enforcement activities.
Deliver effective border management by regulating and facilitating legitimate trade
through:
 strategy, legislation and policy that supports the movement of travellers and
trade across the border, enables the collection of duties and taxes and supports
Australian industry
 improving economic competitiveness and productivity by fostering rapid
movement and border entry or exit
 undertaking domestic and international engagement to support the development
and delivery of customs and trade strategy, policy and systems and delivery of
border management services
 ensuring compliance with border controls and the requirements of systems and
processes.
Supports the following functions of partner agencies:
 Attorney-General’s Department—information of national security value, counterterrorism, firearms and weapons, IP infringement under the Copyright Act, illegal
drug interdiction, money laundering, and other prohibited and restricted goods,
policy development and advice on law enforcement matters/ provision of
intelligence (ASIO)
 Australian Bureau of Statistics—statistics
 Australian Competition and Consumer Commission—prohibited and restricted
goods (e.g. cosmetic products)
 Department of Agriculture—prohibited and restricted goods (e.g. quarantine and
bio-diversity), industry assistance schemes
 Department of Defence—counter-proliferation, prohibited and restricted goods
(e.g. strategic weapons), concessions
 Department of Employment —prohibited and restricted goods (e.g. asbestos)
 Department of Environment—prohibited and restricted goods (e.g. Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora)
107
ACBPS Budget Statements
 Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade—preferential and non-preferential trade
schemes and agreements, prohibited and restricted goods (e.g. counterproliferation goods)
 Department of Health —prohibited and restricted goods (e.g. PBS medicines),
concessions and pandemic response
 Department of Industry—intellectual property rights, trademarks, anti-dumping,
preferential and non-preferential trade schemes, regulated, prohibited and
restricted goods (e.g. diamonds), Industry assistance (e.g. Schedule 4
manufacturing concessions, TCS, Drawbacks)
 Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development—imported vehicles and
port security
 Therapeutic Goods Administration—therapeutic drugs and substances (PBS).
Programme Expenses
 programme 1.2 is budgeted to incur total expenses of $126.6 million in 2014-15,
an overall decrease of $14.1 million when compared to total expenses provided in
2013-14. The decrease is a function of a reduction in annual departmental
expenses of $15.9 million offset by an increase in expenses not requiring
appropriation in the budget year of $1.8 million.
 the reduction in funding for the departmental expenses between 2013-14 and
2014-15 and the forward estimates is the result of previous decisions of
government and the net impact of new government decisions including a
reduction in funding due to the transfer of the Anti-Dumping Commission
function to the Department of Industry and the termination of funding for the
measure Combatting people smuggling – prevention and disruption activities and
Reducing inbound duty free allowances for tobacco, including changes to the by-law
adjustment. The reduction in funding is offset by additional funding in 2014-15
for the Smaller Government - strengthen and enhance Australia’s border protection
services and Combating people smuggling - international engagement measures. The
2014-15 budget year and forward estimates are also impacted by other minor
movements in the estimates arising from parameter movements and whole of
government savings.
 the increase in expenses not requiring appropriation from 2014-15 to 2016-17
reflects the increase in depreciation associated with the assets funded by the
Smaller Government - strengthen and enhance Australia’s border protection services
measure.

Programme 1.3: Border Revenue Collection
Programme Objective
Effective collection of revenue at the border by:
 providing assurance that the customs duty, indirect taxes and charges payable
on imported goods are correctly assessed, reported and paid, and that revenue
concessions, exemptions and refunds are correctly applied

administering the Tourist Refund Scheme and collecting the Passenger
Movement Charge

ensuring compliance with border revenue requirements.
Supports the following functions of partner agencies:
 Australian Bureau of Statistics—statistics

Australian Taxation Office—Goods and Services Tax, Wine Equalisation Tax,
Tourist Refund Scheme, Luxury Car Tax and other revenue

Department of Agriculture– Cheese and Curd Quota

Department of Industry—all concessions

Department of the Treasury—excise-equivalent goods and drawbacks.
112
ACBPS Budget Statements
Programme Expenses

programme 1.3 is budgeted to incur total expenses of $79.1 million in 2014-15, an
increase of $6.5 million when compared to funding provided in 2013-14. The
increase is a function of an increase in annual departmental expenses of $5.7
million and expenses not requiring appropriation in the budget year of
$0.9 million.

the increase in annual departmental expenses between 2013-14 and 2014-15 and
subsequent movements across the forward estimates is primarily due to the
funding associated with the Smaller Government - strengthen and enhance
Australia’s border protection services measure. The 2014-15 Budget and forward
estimate years are also impacted by adjustments resulting from parameter
movements and whole of government savings.

the movement between years across the forward estimates for expenses not
requiring appropriation is due to the profiling of capital that has been agreed for
the Smaller Government - strengthen and enhance Australia’s border protection
services measure.

Note: Targets relating to key performance indicators across the forward estimates have been developed on the
basis of the operational risks and environment that existed when the 2014-15 Portfolio Budget Statements were
developed. Due to the dynamic nature of the operational environment, future targets may need to be varied
depending on the risks faced at that time.

Performance or volume cannot be forecast reliably. Actual results will be included in the Annual Report.
2.
These measures appear in both programmes 1.2 and 1.3 as they support both programmes.
3.
Customs cargo control and compliance activity conducted at wharves, airports, depots, warehouses and cargo
terminal operators.
4.
Prosecution activity related to fraud reported under programme 1.1.
5.
Previously this KPI recorded net revenue adjustments from investigation and compliance activities. As the
ACBPS investigation and compliance effort is focussed on detecting revenue understatements rather than
revenue overstatements, the indicator has been adjusted accordingly.

Statements
3.1
EXPLANATORY TABLES
Section 3 presents explanatory tables and budgeted financial statements which provide
a comprehensive snapshot of agency finances for the 2014-15 budget year. It explains
how budget plans are incorporated into the financial statements and provides further
details of the reconciliation between appropriations and programme expenses,
movements in administered funds, special accounts and government indigenous
expenditure.
3.1.1: Movement of Administered Funds Between Years
The ACBPS has not moved any administered funds between years.
3.1.2 Special Accounts
Special Accounts provide a means to set aside and record amounts used for specified
purposes. Special Accounts can be created by a Finance Minister’s Determination
under the FMA Act or under separate enabling legislation. Table 3.1.2 shows the
expected additions (receipts) and reductions (payments) for each account used by
ACBPS.

including Special Account determinations, made under the authority of the FMA Act automatically lose

3.1.3 Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure
The ACBPS has three internally funded Indigenous programs:
 National Indigenous Programs—Indigenous Cadets and Indigenous Graduates
(funded separately)
 Indigenous Mariner Program – this program engages and trains Torres Strait
Islanders as Marine Crew to serve in the Torres Strait and
 Indigenous Ranger Program - to improve ACBPS capacity for inshore surveillance
and response to illegal foreign fishing.
National Indigenous Programs
The ACBPS participates, where suitable candidates can be identified, in the Australian
Public Service Indigenous Employment Project by recruiting into the National
Indigenous Cadetship and Graduate Programs, thereby contributing to the overall
increase in numbers of Indigenous employees.
In 2015 ACBPS intends to have one Indigenous Graduate commencing in 2015.
However, there is currently no intention to recruit any Indigenous Cadets.
Graduate trainees participate in a 12-month program which offers the following:
 three workplace rotations
 a Diploma of Government and further personal skill development workshops, and
 a permanent Customs Level 2 (APS 5) position on successful completion of the
program.
Currently the ACBPS is not able to access the Indigenous Traineeship program as
applicants for this program are assessed against the APS 1 classification level, where
the entry level for ACBPS officers at the border are at the APS 3 level.
Indigenous Mariner Program
This an entry-level recruitment program specifically for Torres Strait Islanders to join
the Customs Marine Unit for twelve months as sea-going crew. In addition to on-board
marine duties, trainees are given the opportunity to attend training courses to obtain
qualifications in first aid, shipboard safety and radio operation. Once the program is
completed trainees can apply as part of the Level 1 recruitment rounds for ongoing
positions. It is proposed to commence a recruitment campaign to engage cadets during
the 2014-15 financial year.
Indigenous Ranger Program
ACBPS has formal and informal arrangements with many Indigenous Rangers group
throughout Northern Australia. The informal arrangements include Officers from
Enforcement Operations visiting many of these communities on an ad hoc basis
throughout the year while conducting remote patrols (both vehicle and inshore vessel
patrols). The intention of these patrols is to encourage the communities to watch out
for potential illegal border landings and to report to ACBPS.
ACBPS has formal arrangements with the Djelk Rangers in Maningrida and key
islands in the Torres Strait to assist with the reporting of potential border breaches.

BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.2.1 Differences in Agency Resourcing and Financial Statements
There is no material difference between the agency resourcing and financial
statements.
3.2.2 Analysis of Budgeted Financial Statements
Departmental
Income statement
The movement in appropriation revenue between 2013–14 and 2014–15 is due to the
net impact of the transfer of the Anti-Dumping Commission to the Department of
Industry ($60.4 million) on 27 March 2014 which implemented the government’s
machinery of government changes and the impact of funding that terminates in June
2014. The reduction is offset by additional funding received in 2014–15 as part of
government decisions. The net additional funding received in 2014-15 is also impacted
by both savings and efficiencies agreed by government across a number of budget
years and the impact of wage and price adjustments.
The decrease in the revenue from government (appropriations) of $23.0 million
between 2013–14 and 2014–15 is primarily due to the net impact of additional funding
for the following:
-
an increase of $3.7 million for the Combating people smuggling – international
engagement measure impacting on 2014-15 only
-
an increase of $30.2 million for the Smaller Government - strengthen and
enhance Australia’s Border protection services measure.
offset by decreases in funding in 2014–15 for the following:
-
$1.7 million for the Efficiency dividend – a further temporary increase of 0.25
per cent measure
-
$10.5 million in funding for 2013-14 reflecting an adjustment for Funding
for pre-existing measures affecting the public sector
-
a net reduction in funding of $10.6 million for the transfer of the AntiDumping Commission from ACBPS to the Department of Industry; and
-
a net reduction in funding of $1.4 million for the Revised Occupational
Density Target [PRODAC] measure.
The balance of the decrease in funding between 2013–14 and 2014–15 is due to
previous decisions of government and the cumulative effect of the changes in wage
and price indices adjustments from both the current and prior periods.
The decrease in revenue from government across the forward estimates from 2014-15
to 2015-16 is a function of the impacts of terminating measures, with the most
noticeable being the cessation of the measures that provide funding for the leases for
ACV Triton ($16.8 million) and ACV Ocean Protector ($25.0 million).
In addition, the revenue from government across the forward estimates is also
impacted by the change in growth of passenger volumes resulting in decreased
120
ACBPS Budget Statements
funding received through the Passenger Workload Growth Model offset by the impact
of adjustments to wage and price indices adjustments.
Revenue estimated to be received from the sale of goods and services remains
relatively stable between 2013–14 and 2014–15.
Balance sheet
The ACBPS’s net asset (equity) position for 2014-15 is estimated to be $588.5 million,
representing an increase of $61.7 million from the 2013-14 revised budget position
($526.8 million). The net increase in the Service’s net equity position is due to
additional funding agreed for capital investment.
There is the potential for the asset and equity levels to change from budgeted levels as
a result of a range of adjustments being made to the ACBPS’s balance sheet as part of
the finalisation of the 2013-14 financial statements.
Administered
Income statement
In 2014–15 the ACBPS is estimated to collect $9,269.3 million in customs duty, an
increase of $240.7 million (or 2.8%) over the 2013–14 estimate. This increase is due
primarily to the expected increase in revenue collections in 2014–15 across all duty
categories with the exception of textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) due to a TCF
Tariff rate cut from 1 January 2015.
The ACBPS will also administer the collection of $1,254.4 million in other taxes, fines
and fees revenue in 2014–15. Revenue collected as other taxes, fines and fees
comprises $907.9 million for the passenger movement charge and $346.5 million for the
import processing charge in 2014–15.
The collection of the passenger movement charge is estimated to increase by
$58.0 million in 2014–15 due to the estimated growth in international passenger
movements. Collections of the import processing charge in 2014–15 are estimated to be
$346.5 million, an increase of $103.2 million compared to the revised budget estimate
for 2013–14. The increase in revenue generated from the import processing charge
reflects the full-year impact of the increase to the rate for this charge combined with
the growth in imports. The ACBPS has estimated that $360.0 million will be required
to be paid as customs duty refunds and drawbacks.
Schedule of budgeted assets and liabilities
The budgeted total administered assets position for the ACBPS in 2014-15 is
$240.6 million, compared to $238.1 million in 2013-14, which is due primarily to an
increase in other receivables related to customs duty.
Total liabilities administered by the ACBPS remain steady between 2013-14 and
2014-15 and the forward years.

ACBPS Budget Statements
3.2.4 Notes to the financial statements
Basis of accounting
The budgeted financial statements have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis,
having regard to Statements of Accounting Concepts, and in accordance with the
Finance Minister’s Orders, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
Departmental
Revenue from government
Amounts appropriated for programmes are recognised as revenue, except for certain
amounts that relate to activities that are reciprocal in nature, in which case revenue is
recognised only when it has been earned. Appropriations receivable are recognised at
their nominal amounts.
Employee expenses
Employee expenses consist of salaries, leave entitlements, redundancy expenses,
superannuation and non-salary benefits.
Supplier expenses
Supplier expenses consist of administrative costs, consultants’ costs, travel expenses
and property operating expenses.
Cash
Cash includes notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or other
financial institution.
Assets
Assets are made up of cash, receivables, leasehold improvements and plant and
equipment. All assets are held at fair value.
Liabilities
Liabilities are made up of employee salary and leave entitlements, property lease
make-good provisions and amounts owed to creditors.
Administered
Revenues
All administered revenues relate to the core operating activities performed by the
ACBPS on behalf of the Australian Government, including the collection of customs
duty, revenue associated with the Tourist Refund Scheme and revenue associated with
the passenger movement charge.
131
Glossary
GLOSSARY
Term
Meaning
Administered
items
Expenses, revenues, assets or liabilities managed by agencies on
behalf of the Commonwealth.
Agencies do not control
administered items. Administered expenses include grants,
subsidies and benefits. In many case, administered expenses
fund the delivery of third party agencies.
Additional
estimates
Where amounts appropriated at Budget time are insufficient,
Parliament may appropriate more funds to portfolios through
the Additional Estimates Acts.
Appropriation
An authorisation by Parliament to spend monies from the
Consolidated Revenue Fund, for a particular purpose.
Annual
appropriation
Two appropriation Bills are introduced into Parliament in May
and comprise the Budget for the financial year beginning 1 July.
Further Bills are introduced later in the financial year as part of
the Additional Estimates. Parliamentary Departments have their
own appropriations.
Consolidated
Revenue Fund
Section 81 of the Constitution stipulates that all revenue raised or
money received by the Commonwealth forms the one
Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF). The CRF is not a bank
account. The Official Public Accounts reflects most of the
operations of the CRF.
Departmental
items
Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are controlled by
the agency in providing programme outputs. Departmental
items would generally include computers, plant and equipment
assets used by agencies in providing goods and services and
most employee expenses, supplier costs and other administrative
expenses incurred.
Depreciation
Apportionment of an asset’s capital value as an expense over its
estimated useful life to take account of normal usage,
obsolescence, or the passage of time.
Equity or net
assets
Residual interest in the assets of an entity after deduction of its
liabilities.
Expense
Total value of all of the resources consumed in producing goods
and services or the loss of future economic benefits in the form of
reductions in assets or increases in liabilities of an entity.
FMA Act
Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.
Migration Act
Migration Act 1958.
132
Glossary
Special account
Balances existing within the CRF that are supported by standing
appropriations (FMA Act section 20 and 21). Special Accounts
allow money in the CRF to be acknowledged as set-aside
(hypothecated) for a particular purpose. Amounts credited to a
Special Account may only be spent for the purposes of the
Special Account. Special Accounts can only be established by a
written determination of the Finance Minister (section 20 FMA
Act) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in section 21 of
the FMA Act).
