Introduction About Australian VET Statistics - 2002 financial information In 2002 more than one in ten working age Australians were enrolled in vocational education and training programs partly or wholly funded from public allocation for VET delivery. In 2002 the annual operation expenditure in the Australian publicly funded VET system was $4.6 billion. This represents, in nominal terms, an increase of 16.7% over levels reported five years ago. This publication provides some insight into how VET in Australia is financed and where the money is spent. It also provides detailed statistics for Australia, the eight states and territories, and the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA), using information from the national collections of VET data, which the NCVER undertakes on behalf of ANTA. The financial information has been extracted from the accrual-based statements prepared by Australia's state and territory governments and ANTA. Key financial data are audited to provide additional assurance on the quality of the reported data and consistent adoption of the requirements of the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS). The collected financial data support the VET key performance measures that have been adopted by state, territory and Commonwealth ministers. The information presented here includes summaries that focus on: revenues and expenses (to show financial performance) assets and liabilities (to show financial position) cash flows (to show how activities are financed) trends in total revenues and expenses. State and territory governments and ANTA are responsible for the extraction and reporting of the financial information. Explanatory notes to the financial statements have been included at the request of some jurisdictions to assist user understanding. Readers are advised to refer to these notes when using the data. Differences exist between the accounting policies applied by state and territory governments, particularly in respect of the valuation and measurement of investments and property, and plant and equipment. There are other reasons for variations across states and territories such as their size and maturity, population growth in recent years, the degree of decentralisation and the scale of their economies. These can affect comparisons between them. The information contained in this publication complements the information on VET training activity and outputs presented in NCVER s related statistical publications http://www.ncver.edu.au/statistics/index.htm. Readers are also referred to the ANTA Annual National Report, Volume 3, <http://www.anta.gov.au/publication.asp?qsid=398> for more information on VET performance measures, and the relationship between the hours of training undertaken by students and the associated cost of this training. Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics 2002 Financial Information 1

Scope of the collection The collection is based on a calendar year. The collection relates to VET provision, which is funded wholly or in part from public funds. It covers all VET activity administered or provided by the main VET training authority in each state and territory, other public VET organisations in that state or territory, and the Australian National Training Authority. The scope of the financial data collection covers all transactions that affect the financial performance, financial position and financing of the publicly funded VET System. This is broader than the scope of the ANTA agreement that focuses on Commonwealth funding and state matching obligations for the VET Sector as well as setting delivery priorities to be achieved. Readers should refer to the ANTA National Report, Volume 3 for more information on the relationship between the hours of training undertaken by students and associated cost under the terms of the ANTA agreement. The operating costs of the VET division of the Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) and some DEST payments made directly to private providers are not included. The collection also excludes private and community providers not in receipt of public funds, the secondary school system, and the higher education system. It is worth noting that the financial information is collected from training providers, and as well as from state and national training authorities. Training providers classify revenues according to their clients status. Consequently revenues received from private clients are classified as non-government fee for service revenue even though the client may have received the funds from government sources other than a state training authority. For these the reasons it is impossible to derive from the data presented in this publication the total government funding allocated to Australia's VET system. Key elements of the financial data are subjected to an independent audit - refer to appendix 2 for sample of the audit certificate. Following the audits, states and territories provide NCVER Ltd with final audited data under the signatures of their chief executive officers. 2 Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics 2002 Financial Information

Section 1: Main Features In 2002 1 : Recurrent revenues totalled more than four billion dollars ($4,357.4 million), up 5.3% over 2001 ($4,138.9 million). As in previous years Commonwealth, state and territory governments were the primary source of recurrent revenues, accounting for 78.8% of total recurrent revenues in 2002. Revenues from fee for service operations showed the largest relative growth, up 7.5% over 2001 figures. They generated 11.0% of total revenue in 2002 owing largely to continuing open market activity, course provision to students on a fee for service basis and international student activity. Total recurrent expenditures have increased by 5.8% from $4,357.8 million in 2001 to $4,609.9 million in 2002. Expenditure for VET delivery provision and support represented $3,079.3 million or 67.8% of the total expenditure (excluding expenditure by ANTA) compared with $2,923.5 million or 68.3% in 2001 Expenditure on administration and general services was $876.4 million (19.3% of total expenditure) which was 14.4% higher than 2001 expenditure of $765.8 million (17.9%). The net assets for the sector (total assets less liabilities) were $6,157 million, up $209 million over the 2001 net assets of $5,948 million. Financial performance Recurrent revenues Recurrent revenues include revenues from direct recurrent allocations from Commonwealth, state and territory governments, and from normal operating revenues which are for fee for service, or generated from student fees and charges, as well as ancillary trading and other activities. Overall, revenues increased by $218.5 million from $4,138.9 million in 2001 to $4,357.4 million in 2002. As in previous years Commonwealth, state and territory governments were the primary source of recurrent revenues, accounting for 78.8% of total recurrent revenues in 2002. States and territories provided $2,466.5 million, more than half (56.6%) of total revenue (Table 1). The Commonwealth contributed $965.9 million (22.2%). Other revenues include fee for service $478.6 million (11.0%) as well as student fees and charges $194.6 million (4.5%). Table 1 summarises the operating revenue classifications across jurisdictions and the national trend in recurrent revenues for 2001 and 2002. 1 All figures in this publication are in actual dollars for the year shown, not constant prices.

The largest component of Commonwealth revenue, recurrent funding appropriated through the VET Funding Act, increased by $46.6 million (5.8%) to $856.5 million. Commonwealth government funding associated with ANTA funded Commonwealth specific purpose programs, on the other hand, remained at levels similar to 2001 (2001: $55.1 million; 2002: $56.0 million). Revenues from other Commonwealth specific purpose programs increased by 11.8% to $53.4 million in 2002. Total recurrent revenues have risen by $630.3 million (15.2%) between 1998 and 2002. Of this increase in revenues, $375.0 million, or 59.5%, came from governments. Revenues from state and territory governments increased by $274.7 million and revenues from the Commonwealth government increased by $100.3 million. While base Commonwealth recurrent revenues increased in each of the years for 1998 to 2002, there was an overall decrease in revenues between 1998 and 1999 due mainly to the cessation of conditional funding for additional traineeships and of Commonwealth labour market programs.

Total recurrent revenues have risen by $630.3 million (15.2%) between 1998 and 2002. Of this increase in revenues, $375.0 million, or 59.5%, came from governments. Revenues from state and territory governments increased by $274.7 million and revenues from the Commonwealth government increased by $100.3 million. While base Commonwealth recurrent revenues increased in each of the years for 1998 to 2002, there was an overall decrease in revenues between 1998 and 1999 due mainly to the cessation of conditional funding for additional traineeships and of Commonwealth labour market programs. Revenues from fee for service operations increased by $156.1 million over the four years, contributing 24.8% to the overall growth in revenues. This can be attributed to increased training market participation by public providers. Figure 1 details recurrent revenues from 1998 to 2002. Figure 1: Recurrent revenues by category, 1998 to 2002 (actual $ million) Proportional recurrent revenues by category for the five years from 1998 to 2002 are shown in Figure 2. State government revenues represented 56.6% of the total revenues in 2002 compared to 58.8% in 1998 while Commonwealth government revenues were 22.2% of the total in 2002 compared to 23.2% in 1998. In 2002, fee for service operations generated 11.0% of total revenue compared to 8.7% in 1998. Ancillary trading and other increased by 0.6% from 1998 to 5.8% in 2002 and student fees and charges increased by 0.4% from 1998 to 4.5% in 2002.

Recurrent expenditures Recurrent expenditures in 2002 totalled $4,609.9 million, an increase of $252.1 million, or 5.8%, on 2001 (Table 2). The major components of expenditure are: Employee costs, the largest single component of expenditure, is $2,786.1 million, which represents 60.4% of the total in 2002 compared to $2,630.5 million (60.4%) in 2001. The supplies, services and other categories represent $1,052.3 million (22.8% of total expenditure) in 2002, up on the 2001 figure of $978.3 million (22.4%). Expenditures to non-tafe providers for VET delivery have decreased by $7.9 million or 2.5% from 2001 to $310.8 million in 2002. However, all states and territories except New South Wales reported increased expenditure over 2001. New South Wales reported a decrease of $29.8 million because many payments programmed for the 2001/2002 financial year were made in the 2001 calendar year. Depreciation and amortisation accounted for $254.8 million, or 5.5%, of total recurrent expenditure in 2002 and 5.0% of the capital value of buildings, plant and equipment, motor vehicles and other fixed assets. This is at about the same levels as in 2001 when depreciation and amortisation accounted for $251.8 million. Infrastructure capital payments were $305.4 million, compared with $254.8 million for depreciation and amortisation, indicating that on a national basis the VET sector is replacing and improving its level of assets.

Items annotated with (b) are subsequently expended by grantees or non-tafe providers as employee and supplies and services costs. The longer-term trend for recurrent expenditures is one of growth with an increase, of $660.7 million or 16.7%, in the years 1998 to 2002 (Figure 3). Important components of this increase are an additional $345.3 million (52.3% of the total increase) in employee costs and $171.0 million (25.9% of the total increase) in supplies, services and other. Expenditure in payments to non-tafe providers to deliver VET programs and grants and subsidies has increased by $93.6 million and $30.0 million respectively since 1998.

Activity expenditures Table 3 summarises the recurrent expenditure by activity across jurisdictions and the national trend in recurrent expenditures by activity for 2001 and 2002. In 2002, direct delivery and delivery support services represented $3,079.3 million or 67.8% of the total expenditure (excluding expenditure by ANTA) compared with $2,923.5 million or 68.3% in 2001. Expenditure on administration and general services activity increased by 14.4% from $765.8 million (17.9% of total expenditure) in 2001 to $876.4 million (19.3%) in 2002. Activity expenditures for property, plant and equipment services increased by 3.7% from $435.7 million in 2001 to $451.9 million in 2002. The only activity expenditure that declined between 2001 and 2002 was a decrease of 23.7 million or 15.0% for student and other services. This decrease can largely be attributed to reduced expenditures of $18.4 million for staff redundancies in 2002.

Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics 2002 Financial Information 9

There was an increase of $450.9 million for VET delivery provision and support activities between 1998 and 2002 (Figure 5). This represents 68.2% of the total increase in expenditure (excluding expenditure by ANTA) of $660.7 million. During the same time, expenditures for administration and general services accounted for 21.4% of this total increase by growing from $734.5 million in 1998 to $876.4 million in 2002. Expenditure for property, plant and equipment services almost doubled in the period 1998 to 2002 from $277.3 million in 1998 to $451.9 million in 2002, equivalent to 26.4% of the total increase. This was mainly due to increased leasing and contracted maintenance of information technology equipment. Expenditure for students and other services has declined (Figure 6). It is noted that this activity includes expenditures for staff redundancies that have been decreasing since 1998 when $66.2 million was reported compared to $15.3 million for 2002 for staff redundancies. Figure 5: Recurrent expenditure by activity, 1998 to 2002 (actual $ million) As a proportion of the total recurrent expenditure for VET delivery, provision and support remained at twothirds (68%) in the five years from 1998 to 2002 (Figure 6).

Financial position Assets and liabilities Current assets of $785.6 million exceed current liabilities of $445.0 million, indicating that the VET sector is able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due (Table 4). The VET sector s net assets (total assets less liabilities) as at 31 December 2002 were reported as $6,157.0 million. The main asset category is property, plant and equipment ($6002.4 million), carried at valuation. Land and buildings represent 92.9% of the total property, plant and equipment holdings (Table 5). Commonwealth sourced capital funding assistance for the VET sector is provided by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) through the Infrastructure Program. Capital projects cover a wide range of types of facilities in all states and territories, spread across metropolitan and rural areas. As well as providing teaching facilities, projects also include specialist learning facilities, resource centres and student amenities. Expenditure on new technology continues to increase to assist with alternative delivery mechanisms, particularly on-line delivery. As part of state and territory VET planning processes, each jurisdiction prepares a Strategic Infrastructure Plan (SIP) which is a rolling three year plan that sets out strategic priorities and planned aggregate expenditure for the construction of new facilities, upgrade or refurbishment of existing facilities, purchase of major capital equipment and expenditure on maintenance. The Plan is supported by an Annual Infrastructure Statement (AIS) which sets out the infrastructure priorities for the year and contains cash flow data to support the timing and use of Commonwealth funds provided to states and territories under the Infrastructure Program. In addition to the major capital planning process, capital funding is also available under the Infrastructure Program for the establishment or expansion of industry based skill centres and industry skill centres in schools. These are approved on a submission basis against an annual allocation. For 2002, the total budget for capital expenditure was $302 million, of which $170 million (56.0%) came from Commonwealth sources through ANTA, while the remaining $132 million (44.0%) came from state and territory sources. In addition, $15 million for skill centres was available under the sub-components of the Program, as well as $15 million for national projects for new technologies. Table 4 summarises the financial position across jurisdictions and the national trend in financial position for the year ended December 2001 and 2002 respectively.
