Finance Circular 2005/09
Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines
Purpose
This Circular replaces Finance Circular 2002/02 and announces the publication of revised Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines (Financial Management Guidance No.4). Cost Recovery (CR) applies to all Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 agencies and also to those Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) bodies that have been notified, under sections 28 or 43 of the CAC Act, to apply the cost recovery policy.
No changes have been made to the CR policy. The guidelines have been revised to focus more on activities, rather than agencies, and to clarify a few areas (Attachment A contains more detail of these changes).
The cost recovery policy applies to all new or significantly amended cost recovery arrangements and is being phased in for all existing arrangements. The Finance Circular includes a revised government agreed review schedule extending to 2007-08 (Attachment B).
