Glossary

Additional Estimates	Additional funds for Government outcomes may be agreed to by the Government if the amounts provided in Appropriation Acts (No. 1 or 2), or Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Act are not enough to meet required expenditures in a financial year. This additional funding is normally incorporated in Appropriation Bills (Nos 3 and 4) and the Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 2) and does not become available until after the Bills have been passed by the Parliament and received royal assent.
Administered Items	Expenses, revenues, assets or liabilities that agencies administer on behalf of the Commonwealth. Administered expenses include grants, subsidies and benefits. In many cases, administered expenses fund the delivery of third party outputs.
Performance Indicators	Qualitative and quantitative measures of an output which provide a guide on performance where direct causal links are not obvious and changes in performance are difficult to measure directly.

Performance Measures	A more precise measure than indicators. Performance measures relate to outcomes, outputs, third party outputs and administered items. They are used when there is a direct casual link between an intervention and a measurable change in performance.
Performance Information	Evidence about performance that is collected and used systematically. Evidence may relate to appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency. It may be about outcomes, factors that affect outcomes, and what can be done to improve them.
Third Party Outputs	Goods or services delivered to the community by entities outside the Commonwealth General Government Sector. They are outputs wholly or partly funded by administered items and are directed to achieving outcomes.
