Significant under-utilisation by certain cohorts may indicate schemes are not working as intended. People with psychosocial disability have been identified one such cohort experiencing barriers to effective budget utilisation within Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme. Our mixe...

Conduct an environmental scan of external institutions to benchmark budgets, infrastructure, and personnel dedicated to data manag...

In this paper, I identify whether shifts within budgets occur and investigate the variation of these shifts. Building on stochastic process methods, I find that budgets in all four cases exhibit mostly incremental changes punctuated by extreme shifts. In order to explain these punctuations in budget distributions, I rely on two models: partisan control of government and partisan distance of the...
