Year in review

We finished the year with a surplus on transactions, our day-to-day business, of $11.0 million. We planned for a surplus but the result was greater than expected due to additional revenue.  

The comprehensive surplus was $11.0 million, compared to a $16.1 million surplus last year.

The year-end cash balance was $44.2 million, which is above the targeted $20.0 million minimum cash balance we hold to ensure we meet fluctuations in annual payments.

The 2014–15 financial statements record:

  • Victorian Government income of $85.0 million
  • Commonwealth Government income of $47.2 million
  • Public Purpose Fund income of $29.3 million ($3.0 million of these funds were one-off funds)
  • $63.6 million spent on case-related private practitioner payments
  • $25.0 million funding provided to community legal centres (this includes $9.2 million in Commonwealth funds passed directly to community legal centres and not recognised as income or expenditure in our financial statements)
  • a comprehensive surplus of $11.0 million.
