FY 2010 FY 2009

Gary Smorgon House $2.0m ramp-up costs

Residential service $2.4m $3.2m inefficiencies

Cultural and spiritual $1.4m $1.2m

Supported residents* $0.6m $1.4m

*The deficit incurred from supported residents decreased this financial year due to a) a changed resident mix which resulted from the transition of residents to Gary Smorgon House and b) a more accurate calculation of the real costs associated with supported residents.
