Notes Sustainable delivery costs have been calculated based on 2022-23 rates, with indexation of 5% applied to both costs and the current Women’s Health Program grant to show funding required for 2023-24. Forward year estimates are shown in 2023-24 dollars, without indexation. As per current practice, it is assumed that proposed funding in the forward years would be escalated at an appropriate rate determined by NSW Government. Legislated increases in Superannuation Guarantee payments have been applied to salaries and wages estimates in all years.
