Guide for use:

Grants are to be reported at the lowest statistical unit level at which the expenditure occurred (state/territory or region level), and should not be reported at more than one level.

For payment to non-government organisations receiving grants for more than one service type, grants should be apportioned to the service type categories based on the specific provisions of the grant.

Grants for Staffed residential services (Code 7 in the Service type data element) must exclude any grants reported as expenditure elsewhere, such as residential service unit expenditure, organisational, regional or state level indirect expenditure.

Grants not allocatable to specific service types should be reported under other and unspecified services grants to non-government organisations (Code 88 in the Service type data element).

Where the exact dollar amount for services is unable to be provided an estimate should be derived from available local information.

Collection methods:

Data reported as grants to non-government organisations should exclude any capital expenditure grants, where the primary purpose of the grant is known to be specifically for the purpose of capital investment.
