The PSAES, like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements, informs senators, members of the House of Representatives and the public of the proposed allocation of resources to entities within a portfolio to assist them to achieve government outcomes.
PSAESs aim to explain the changes in resourcing by outcome since the Additional Estimates update. The PSAESs facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (Nos. 5 & 6). These Bills are not produced every year.
