This is particularly relevant to the “make good” provisions in NSWIS property lease where there is an obligation to restore the property to its original condition. These costs are included in capital cost of NSWIS Leasehold Improvements with a corresponding provision for “Make Good” taken up. Depreciation: Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the depreciable amount of each asset as they are consumed over their useful lives to the entity. The following depreciation rates were used based on the assessment of the useful life of that equipment • Computer Equipment range from 25% to 33.3% p.a. • General Plant and Equipment range from 14.3% to 33.3% p.a. • Electronic and Scientific Equipment range from 14.3% to 33.3% p.a. • Sporting Equipment range from 25% to 50% p.a. • Leasehold Improvements are amortised at 10% based on the term of NSWIS property lease (ten years) (e) Trade and Other Receivables: All debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment is raised when some doubt as to collection exists. The credit risk is the carrying amount (net of any provision for impairment). No interest is earned on debtors.

Sick leave: Unused sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

Long Service Leave: Long service leave liability is recognized and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The liability is calculated in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits and NSW Treasury Circular TC 12/06. Accrued long service leave is treated as both a current and non-current liability.
