My Department has, in advance of the Budget, received pre-budget submissions from a number stakeholders in the education sector and from organisations involved in other areas of public policy. As in previous years, relevant submissions continue to be reviewed and they will inform the specific budgetary priorities that I will be seeking to achieve in Budget 2022.
These pre-budget submissions generally address specific policy matters relevant to the organisation concerned and while they may include some costings it is not the practice of my Department to attempt to cost or validate the entirety of the proposals contained in all such submissions.
