Australian Government Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES)

2024-25 to 2028-29 financial years are covered by this dataset of Australian federal government Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES). It provides line-item data on changes to proposed resource allocations after the annual budget, detailing appropriations by portfolio, agency, and program. The data is intended to support analysis of government financial information and is published by the Department of Finance.

Use Cases

• Tracking changes in departmental funding requests based on the 'Appropriation type' and 'Expense type' columns.
• Analyzing multi-year budget trends across portfolios using the fiscal year columns (e.g., 2024-25 to 2028-27).
• Verifying funding allocations for specific government programs using the 'Program' and 'Outcome' fields.
• Cross-referencing published budget documents using the 'Source document' and 'Source table' metadata.

Strengths

• Data is officially sourced from the Australian Government Department of Finance, indicating high authority.
• Covers a multi-year forward estimate period (2024-25 to 2028-29), providing a temporal view.
• Structured as a line-item CSV with a defined schema including portfolio, agency, and appropriation type.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as row count, file size, and a complete column list are not provided in the input sources.
• The dataset appears to be updated annually, so the 2025-26 data may not reflect the most recent budget cycle.
• Sub-totals and totals present in original documents are excluded from the CSV, requiring programmatic calculation.
