Introduction

The Wine Industry Association of Western

Australia (Inc.) (Wines of Western

Australia), established in 1987, is the

state’s primary organisation of wine

producers.

It is our mission to provide a unified,

strategically influential voice that creates

opportunities for the fine wine regions of

Western Australia.

Industry Overview

Wine is a major value adding industry with

significant regional economic and employment

benefits. In 2014/15 the total value of the WA

wine industry was estimated at $684 million

with a grape value of $65 million. Regarding

market channels, 48% of total value was sold in

WA, 40% in eastern Australia and 12% in

exports.

The Western Australian wine industry produces

about 42 million litres of wine annually

representing just 3% of the volume of

Australia’s wine production but 8.5% of the

value.

WA Wine Industry Vision

As outlined in the WA Wine Industry Strategic

Plan 2014 – 24, WA producers have a shared

vision of:

“a Western Australian wine industry that grows

sustainably and profitably, built on the

reputation of its great fine wine regions”

The pathway to this vision is a unified and

strategical influential industry focused on

regional fine wines of provenance and

authenticity. Producers and Regional

Associations are the custodians of their

Regional brand.

Wines of WA Charter

WA producers have mandated that Wines of

WA should, “provide stewardship of the

industry” to create opportunities for producers

and the fine wine regions of WA.

From an operational point of view, this service

is provided through:

• Advocacy to ensure government, at all

levels, understands our industry – the

benefits we provide to the state

economy, particularly in regional WA

and the assistance and resourcing we

require to further develop out industry.

• Representation to ensure the value of

industry is clearly understood by

government, the community and other

complimentary industry sectors. We

need to ensure our social license to

operate is retained and strengthened.

We need to build strong partnerships

with tourism, agriculture and fisheries by

developing complimentary market

development programs. We need to

raise the stature of our industry so that

West Australians are truly proud of their

wine industry.

• Administration of technical and

marketing program funding to provide

Regional Associations and producers

access to opportunities to improve

business practises and market access.

• Communication to ensure wine industry

participants are aware of the issues that

affect their business enabling them to

make informed decisions on the

direction of the industry and their

individual business.

We look forward to working with Producers and

Regional Associations in 2017-18 on

developing a sustainable and profitable future

for the WA wine industry.

__________________________________________________________________________________

1. President’s Report

Tax

In the last twelve months, WoWA achieved

significant outcomes in delivering benefits

to WA producers. We campaigned hard in

Canberra, with significant help from Senator

Dean Smith, Senator Mathias Cormann,

Christian Porter MP, Nola Marino MP and

Rick Wilson MP. WA producers were facing

the unpalatable situation of seeing the WET

rebate reduced from $500,000 to $290,000.

Additional “skin in the game” tests requiring

ownership of assets across the production

chain would have excluded many producers

and threatened income streams for contract

winemakers.

WoWA successfully prosecute the case to

have the rebate “refocused”, not reduced.

We argued that a cut in the WET producer

rebate was an increase in taxation and

would disproportionally impact WA

producers. The outcome was that we were

able to advocate for the introduction of a

cellar door incentive scheme of $100,000

and secured a floor for the rebate at

$350,000. We were also able to advocate

for the concept of ownership of grapes at

the crusher, rather than the ownership of a

winery as the eligibility criteria. These two

key policy positions ensured that WA

producers from very small to large were

assured of short-term certainty regarding

the WET rebate.

While this was a good short-term outcome,

producers should be on notice that the

Federal Treasury department do not like

rebates such and we need to be proactive

about a simpler and fairer structure into the

future.

Smoke Taint

This year’s vintage was a later than normal

season. Spring was wet and early summer

was cool. Spring burn offs didn’t occur as

planned and we were faced with a situation

of large fuel loads and perfect burning

conditions during Autumn.

What eventuated was a potential disaster

averted. WoWA and Regional Associations

played a pivotal role in communicating and

educating the Department of Parks and

Wildlife about the potential loss of crop and

the financial impact that would have within

regional communities.

Federal Government Export and Regional

Wine Support Package (ERWSP)

In the May 2015 pre-budget submission by

the Winemakers Federation of Australia

(WFA), State Associations provided letters

of support for a support package of $25m

(along with support of WET integrity

measures). It was WoWA that led the

charge at WFA to increase this to $50m

The $50m that was pledged to industry has

had significant WoWA involvement with

Colin Bell and Simone Furlong-Horgan and

me participating in the reference group that

helped build the business plan for

presentation to Federal government. Of the

$32m that is allocated to Wine Australia

with a focus on USA and China, we are

pleased that Simone Furlong-Horgan has

been accepted on the advisory panel over-

seeing that fund.

The business case determined $5m will be

allocated to states, currently targeting

international wine tourism. It is pleasing that

we are working very closely now with other

state associations, and this college of

states will submit a collective submission

which states that the allocation should not

be prescriptive, but rather align with state


__________________________________________________________________________________

Page | 6

and regional strategic plans, as they are all

different and unique to each state. We were

also able to achieve recognition of the

importance of the WA fine wine segment

and its contribution towards wine tourism by

being allocated $1m of the $5m.

Regional Strategic Plans

WoWA pushed the case to Regional

Associations on the importance of

implementing (or reviewing/developing)

their strategic plans. An industry ratified

strategic plan (State and Regional),

provides WoWA, State Government

agencies and Wine Australia with a clear

indication of the resources and partnerships

required at a Regional level to support

industry development.

We have seen Margaret River complete a

strategic review and Geographe a strategic

plan. On top of this, the Great Southern has

started its own strategic plan at the time of

writing.

Because of the Margaret River strategic

review, Wine Australia has aligned

resources to the 50th Anniversary

celebrations by bringing influential US

journalists to Margaret River. Over the

coming four weeks we will see the roll out

of priority activities identified in the strategic

review.

Naturally, more regions will follow this

example, seeing the action from the

Margaret River review and what we will

have is a framework across the wine

regions of WA that allows key stakeholders

to align the right resources to regions.

Revised WoWA Constitution

At last years’ AGM, the new constitution of

WoWA was introduced that now sees it as

a truly representative regional board. It now

has greater regional representation than it

ever has, reflecting its grassroots origins.

Organisational Reform

The national grape grower body, WGGA,

has changed its constitution from a national

grower body, to an organisation able to

represent state and regional bodies

nationally, with an emphasis on small

businesses from the grape and wine

community. It is now called Australian

Vignerons. WoWA has committed to being

a member and sees the leadership at AV as

something that will benefit our industry. AV

understands the importance of being

relevant and transparent. I believe Jo and

Andrew have done an incredible job under

difficult financial circumstances.

The Winemakers Federation of Australia

continues to do an incredibly professional

job in the field of market access, wine and

health. Unfortunately, all the great work the

Federation does will continue to suffer

external criticism, until it seriously

addresses its membership and

representational structure.

The Future

Wine Australia is embarking upon a

marketing program of a scale never

previously contemplated. The timing of this

is potentially the start of what could be the

next boom for Australian regional fine wine.

And WA regions and producers have never

been as well prepared in my time in the

industry to be a part of this.

Wine Australia has spent more time in WA

over the past twelve months than I have

seen before and the level of understanding

of stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities

has never been greater. The plan they seek

to deliver will make for an exciting time


__________________________________________________________________________________

Page | 7

ahead for producers of all shapes and

sizes.

Export Development and Wine Tourism

We continue to develop an industry

business case that will be presented to our

state government when ratified by WoWA

and Regional Associations. It is aligned with

ERWSP federal grant objectives. At the

time of writing, this business case has

evolved from being solely export driven, to

one that needs to include Wine Tourism

and acknowledge that these two areas

need to work together to get greatest

leverage.

If we only present an Industry development

business case about export, we would be

missing an important piece that includes an

“all of industry” and regional development

potential, which includes wine tourism.

The opportunities are again significant for

regional development if we get it right.

Thank You

Once again, I would like to thank Larry for

his tireless work for WoWA on behalf of all

State producers. I look forward to seeing

him work with the newly appointed

chairperson, Trevor Whittington. The

foundations are in place for you to both

excel.

In departing I would like to thank the

following people: Nigel Gallop and Stuart

Watson for convincing me to do this job;

Anthony Wilkes and Chris Furtado who

have been exceptional Vice Chairs; Bryan

Saunders was a great help with his

governance and process advice; David

Martin for drafting tax submissions and;

Colin Bell for his clear thinking when

confronting issues.

I have never been more confident about the

future of the Australian Wine Industry.

P.S. – and yes, the orange tie will continue to be worn at all official wine industry events.

Actions speak louder than words.

Treasurer’s Report The financial performance of the

Association in 2016/17 illustrates the critical

importance of a secure funding model and

a clear focus on strategic aims. The fee for

service funding model resulted in an

increase to producer derived revenue.

Through a further refinement of business

operations, fixed costs were significantly

reduced. The Association still delivered on

its core services of advocacy and

representation.

Revenues

Overall revenues increased year on year by

33% reflecting the net impact of two factors

including:

• Implementation of the fee for service

funding model

• an increase in the draw-down of Grant

funding reflecting increased activity this

year

Expenses

Overall, expenses for the Association were

approximately in line with the prior year

reflecting several changes with the significant

ones being:

• A reduction in office expenses (rent and

other outgoings) associated with

reduced space requirements for the

team,

• An increase in wages, superannuation

and annual leave provisions due to

annualised wage movements

• An increase in travelling expenses (intra

and interstate) associated with the CEO

and President’s representation activities

related to proposed change to the WET

and the implementation of the wine

industry APC

Surplus

The net result of the above was that the

Association reported a net surplus for the year

of $68,614, up from a net loss of $8,517 in the

prior year. As a result, the retained earnings at

the end of 2016/17 financial year are $23,532.

Having established a secure funding model via

an APC, the board was committed to

eradicating our negative equity position over the

two years to 2018. It is pleasing to have

achieved this one year earlier than planned

because of ongoing discipline in managing

outgoings.

Chief Executive Officer’s

Report

As outlined in Strategic Priorities for 2016 -

17, our focus for the year prioritised:

• Implementing the APC funding model

for the 2016 vintage

• Ensuring taxation policy amendments

were affected favourably for all WA

producers

• Ensuring WA producers receive fair

access to Federal Export and Regional

Wine Support Package

The key activities to achieve these aims were,

Advocacy, Representation, Administration and

Communication

Advocacy

In 2016-17, Wines of Western Australia advocated for the industry on the following issues:

• Successfully advocated for a unified national position on WET Rebate reform in response to the 2016 Federal Budget

• Advocated directly to WA Federal MPs, the Treasurer and the Prime Minister, clearly stating WA’s position on Wet Rebate reform.

• Facilitated Regional forums on WET Rebate with Senator Anne Ruston.

• Continued engagement with AGWA to secure resources to support export market development for WA wine producers.

• Communicate WA wine industry policy positions to all parties during the 2017 State Election.

• In collaboration with the table grape industry and Regional Associations continued to advocate for amendments to the Federal Biosecurity Act 2015 which would restrict movement of imported grape products into WA.

• Worked with all Regional Associations and the Department of Parks and Wildlife to establish late season burn-off

protocol to ensure late harvested fruit was not affected by prescribed burning.

Representation

In 2016-17 Wines of Western Australia engaged the following government and industry bodies on the following issues:

• Minister for Agriculture and the Department of Agriculture and Food, Minister for State Development and Department of State Development, advocating for increased funding for market development and industry development.

• Submitted successful application for R4R Growers’ Group Grant – “Pathways to Premium Markets”, a $500,000 R&D project focusing on production capacity, market demand and international best practise for regional brand development.

• Facilitated UK buyers visit to WA in partnership with Regional Associations and Hazel Murphy

• Facilitated annual visit to WA for the Wine Education Centre’s Singapore annexe Dux students

• Partnered with WA Fishing Industry Council and Office of Multi-cultural Interests to host TWA Chinese delegates on Chinese New Year

• Supported Swan Valley Wine Show, Timber Towns Wine Show, Blackwood Valley Wine Show and the 2016 Truffle Kerfuffle through IMP funding

Administration

In 2016-17, Wines of WA administered the following projects on behalf of the WA wine industry:

• Worked with APC administration to develop collection process for FFS collection on the 2016 vintage.

• Compliance requirements for the International Marketing Program funding partnership with DAFWA.

• Compliance requirements for the AGWA Regional program.

• Management of the WA Wine Industry Technical Committee


__________________________________________________________________________________

Page | 10

• Negotiated terms for the WA wine industry service agreement with Australia Post

• Negotiated terms for the WA wine industry co-membership arrangement with CCIWA

• Managed Grant compliance process for R4R Growers’ Group Grant.

• Project management of R4R Growers’ Group Grant, “Pathways to Premium Markets”.

Communication

In 2016-17, we continued to refine our communications processes.

• A monthly e-newsletter which provides non-time sensitive information.

• Social media which provides day to day information. By following Wines of WA on facebook, twitter and linkedin, industry participants receive live updates that are relevant to their business.

• For urgent, critical information, members receive an email or text message directly from me, sent from [email protected]

• Eye to eye on a regular basis to share a coffee or a glass wine, depending on the time of day, discussing what you feel are the key issues affecting your business and region.

Additionally, I urge producers to visit www.winwa.asn.au regularly as we post information and upcoming events to the news-blog that feeds directly to the home page. Finally, the art of communication requires getting the correct message to the right person. This is our biggest challenge as an industry. We continued to work on this in 2016-17. With information collected via the APC process our ability to communicate effectively will continually improve.

Staff Movements

During the 2016-17 financial year, Jodie Pannel continued as Administration and Membership Manager in a .8 FTE capacity. Larry Jorgensen continued as CEO in a full-time capacity.

National Representation

Winemakers’ Federation of Australia (WFA)

Western Australian Board representatives are Anthony Wilkes (Medium Winery Membership Committee), Alexandra Burt (Winemakers’ Federation Executive Council and Small Winery Membership Committee) and Redmond Sweeny (Small Winery Membership Committee). Anthony was MD of Ferngrove and the Vice-President of Wines of WA. He retired at the 2016 AGM from both positions. Alexandra is a former Board member and Treasurer of Wines of Western Australia and runs her family’s wine business, Voyager Estate. Redmond is a partner in Snake and Herring, as well as being the President of Wines of Western Australia.

Australian Vignerons (AV formerly WGGA)

AV is the new iteration of WGGA having revised its Constitution to include producers and growers under a state based membership model. Governance includes a proportional representative Council of members, responsible for strategic policy setting and appointing an independent, skills-based Board. The Board works with the CEO to implement strategy and ensure governance and compliance of the organisation.

AV will provide an independent national body for WA producers with a greater focus on issues that are relevant to small and medium producers.

Colin Bell (Wines of WA Board member) continued as the WoWA representative on AV during 2016-17. Colin is a viticulturist and principle AHA Viticulture has assumed the role.

It is important that WA continues to provide

energised and capable people to these

national organisations to ensure our state

issues are understood and addressed

In addition to these formalised positions, Wines of WA has continued to strengthen our relationships with other State organisations.

Membership Report

The WA wine industry implemented a fee

for service APC funding model for the 2016-

17 financial year. The fees were affected

against the 2016 vintage. A fee per tonne

was collected from the owner of the fruit

and crush and distributed to Wines of WA

to provide state based services and to

Regional Associations based on the GI

origin of the fruit to provide regionally based

services.

As noted in the 2015-16 CEO report,

administrative and process challenges were

encountered in the first year, but the industry

can now look forward to greater certainty

around funding. This will enable longer term

planning and strategic thinking for industry

development.

The budgeted revenue from APC collections for

2016-17 was $258,000, based on a 65,000

tonne vintage. The final reported amounts were

$222,142 against 57,000 tonnes

In total, 267 producers provided return forms for

payment with a further 89 lodging “nil” returns.

The aggregated figure, 356, represents the

typically quoted number of active businesses in

WA. Nil returns are attributable to smoke-taint

events, yearly production decisions to balance

inventory and the variety of business models

that exist. As the fee is attributable to the owner

of fruit at crush, businesses that typically

purchase finished or raw wine would not submit

a return form for payment.

Industry Production Data

A significant benefit arising from the APC

collection is resulting production data.

Information collected via the process includes,

GI origin of fruit by variety. This provides an

accurate snapshot of production capacity and

will be invaluable to producers in determining

how to structure their business to best meet

market demand. As industry settles into

acceptance of the APC, further information can

be collected to provide more detail to support

business planning. As summary of the data is

included in Appendix 1. The information will

also be provided to all producers and will be

archived to the Wines of WA website.

activities;

1. Updating growers on managing garden

weevil: This project will examine strategies

identified as possible alternative approaches to

managing garden weevil through a review of

current and emerging practices and will also

support a group of producers to trial and

demonstrate the identified alternative practice

management strategies that have potential to

replace Indoxacarb. This activity will encourage

practice change for managing Garden weevil

through the identification and demonstration of

a broader range of management options. The

DAFWA entomology team will conduct a desk

top review to determine emerging best practice

management for garden weevil and will then

contact the most appropriate research providers

to garner additional information relevant to

conducting trials in West Australian vineyards.

These trials/demonstrations will be utilised to

extend the research findings to the broader

wine grape producing audience.

2. Evaluating and demonstrating alternative

varieties: Approximately 80% of Western

Australia's wine grape production comprises of

five `noble' French varietals. Reliance on such a

small collection of varietals to sustain the

profitability of the WA wine industry while

considering challenges such as climate change

and market trends for example, poses potential

limitations.

One tool available to growers to ensure

continuation of optimum production while

addressing issues such as increasing

temperatures, compressed growing seasons,

limited water availability is through varietal

selection.

This project aims to change the way growers

think when considering the varieties that best

suit their region by pairing varieties with

climates (current and forecasted).

Demonstrating the potential of such varieties by

means of wine tastings and field walks is an

integral pathway to adoption.

3. Benchmarking and extending info on

improving BMP soil health: This activity will

build the capacity of producers to better

understand and interpret soil, irrigation water

and petiole sample analysis results to improve

fertiliser and irrigation management practices.

This activity will involve engaging with a number

of wine grape producers in the Geographe

region to evaluate their irrigation and nutrition

regimes via water, soil and petiole tests and

vine performance records. We aim to help wine


__________________________________________________________________________________

Page | 15

grape producers improve nutrition and irrigation

practices to achieve targeted yield and quality

outcomes. Results would be benchmarked

against each other and against industry

standards.

4. Year 2 - Cabernet Hang-time: The

practice change will stem from the trials and

evaluation work conducted in year one which

will lead to grape growers and winemakers

gaining a better understanding of the most

appropriate time to leave Cabernet fruit on the

vine to achieve the required fruit quality. We

are trying to encourage communication and

understanding of harvest decisions between

winemakers and grape growers and

viticulturists.

Year two of the project will focus on

disseminating this information to industry by

hosting an industry forum in Margaret River.

The forum will utilise outcomes from year one

(field trials, small batch winemaking and

sensory evaluation by AWRI) the DAFWA

Report on Cabernet production in WA and

current research on Hang time being conducted

throughout other regions in Australia and

overseas.

Development of the 2016-17 AGWA

Regional Program

The plan was developed through the West

Australian wine industries technical committee

and WoWA. In January 2016, Larry Jorgensen

(CEO of WoWA) emailed a copy of the AGWA

Regional’s program guidelines to the regional

associations with an explanatory note seeking

their input into the 16-17 program. At the same

time, technical committee members made direct

contact with producers to seek their input into

regional RD&E priorities.

A committee meeting was held at DAFWA's

Bunbury office on the 14th of January to

prioritise regional RD&E issues. This

prioritisation process was based on feedback

from the regional associations and direct

contact with producers. Though the wine

producing regions throughout WA are diverse,

the selected activities for 2015/16 program aim

to be of benefit to all regions.

The committee and Wines of WA would like to

acknowledge that there is scope to improve

industry input into the program and are actively

seeking greater industry representation and

input to the planning process for future regional

programs.

5 Year Strategic Planning Session

In January 2017, the Wines of WA Technical

Committee undertook a facilitated strategic

planning session to identify the RD&E strategic

priorities over the next 5 years.

The process included a request for input from

all WA producers. The responses were collated

by Wines of WA. The Technical Committee

reviewed these, noting the frequency of

identified issues in determining 5 key focus

areas:

• Smoke taint

• Chemical resistance

• Improved clonal material (including alternative

varieties)

• Business model innovation

• Pest and disease management

• Sustainable viticulture

The 2017 - 22 WA Wine Industry RD&E

Strategic Priorities Plan is available on the

Wines of WA website in the Technical Section.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

The financial statements cover WINES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INC. as an individual entity. WINES OFWESTERN AUSTRALIA INC. is a not for profit Association incorporated in Western Australia under theAssociations Incorporation Act (ACT) 1991 ('the Act').

The functional and presentation currency of WINES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INC. is Australian dollars.1 Basis of Preparation

In the opinion of the Committee of Management, the Association is not a reporting entity since thereare unlikely to exist users of the financial report who are not able to command the preparation ofreports tailored so as to satisfy specifically all of their information needs. These special purposefinancial statements have been prepared to meet the reporting requirements of the Act.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurementrequirements of the Australian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations, and thedisclosure requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 107 Statementof Cash Flows, AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors andAASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures.

Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements arepresented below and are consistent with prior reporting periods unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historicalcosts modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non current assets,financial assets and financial liabilities.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on aspecific identification basis and include direct costs and appropriate overheads, if any.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulateddepreciation and impairment of losses.Plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight line basisover the assets useful life to the association, commencing when the asset is ready for use.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated over the useful lives of the assetsto the association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

These notes should be read in conjunction with the attached compilationreport of RSM Australia Pty Ltd.

Page 6



Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period the association determines whether there is an evidence of animpairment indicator for non-financial assets.

Where this indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets and intangibleassets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated.

Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the relevantcash-generating unit (CGU) is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal andthe value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derivedfrom an asset or cash-generating unit.

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognisedin profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered animpairment loss , except for goodwill.

Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the association's liability for employee benefits arising from services renderedby employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be whollysettled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability issettled.

Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting periodhave been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made forthose benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases andthe probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Cash flows are discounted usingmarket yields on high quality corporate bond rates incorporating bonds rated AAA or AA by creditagencies, with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. Changes in themeasurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short term investmentswhich are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificantrisk of change in value.


Page 7



Revenue and Other IncomeRevenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probablethat economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the association and specificcriteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presentednet of returns, discounts and rebates.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Rendering of services

Revenue in relation to rendering of services is recognised depending on whether the outcome of theservices can be estimated reliably.If the outcome can be estimated reliably then the stage ofcompletion of the services is used to determine the appropriate level of revenue to be recognised inthe period. If the outcome cannot be reliably estimated then revenue is recognised to the extent ofexpenses recognised that are recoverable.If the outcome cannot be reliably estimated then revenue is recognised to the extent of expensesrecognised that are recoverable.Revenue from training services is generally recognised once the training has been delivered.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST),except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office(ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.
