Parliament appropriates $345,353,000 for the Parliamentary Departments.

Presiding Officers can approve urgent spending not listed in the budget; this applies if the need was unforeseen or omitted by mistake.

Spending limits for urgent approvals are capped at $300,000 for the Senate, House of Representatives, and Parliamentary Budget Office; the Department of Parliamentary Services is capped at $1 million.

Parliamentary Departments can spend money specified in departmental, administered, or equity injection items.

Commonwealth entities can move money from an appropriation item into a special account.

The government sets aside $345,353,000 for the Department of the Senate, the Department of the House of Representatives, the Department of Parliamentary Services, and the Parliamentary Budget Office.

Parliamentary departments can use these funds for their own running costs and to achieve specific goals listed in the bill.

The responsible Presiding Officer can approve extra spending if there is an urgent need. This applies if money was accidentally left out of the budget or if an unforeseen cost arises.

There are limits on how much extra money the Presiding Officer can approve. The Department of Parliamentary Services is capped at $1 million, while the other three departments are capped at $300,000 each.

Non-corporate Commonwealth entities must treat 'notional transactions' as real transactions. This means a payment is recorded as spent even if no actual money moves from the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
