Budget 2025-2026 and Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) - Tables and Data

The 2025-26 Budget is officially available at budget.gov.au as the authoritative source of Budget Papers (BPs) and Portfolio Budget Statement (PBS) documents. The 2025-26 Budget was tabled in the Parliament on Tuesday, 25 March 2025 (Budget night).

This dataset is a collection of data sources from the 2025-26 Budget, including:

• PBS Excel spreadsheets (including Table 2.X.1 Budgeted Expenses for Outcome X in machine readable format) – available after PBSs are tabled in the Senate (~8.30pm Budget night); and
• Selected tables from Budget Paper No. 1 will be available
• Selected tables from Budget Paper No. 4 will be available (~8.30pm after Budget night)

The data has been provided to assist those who wish to analyse and visualise key elements of the 2025-26 Budget. Data users should refer to footnotes and memoranda in the original files as these are not usually captured in machine readable CSVs.

Information about the PBS Excel files and CSV: The PBS Excel files published should include the following financial tables with headings and footnotes, which are also are available in CSV. Much of the other data is also available in Budget Papers (No.1) and (No.4) in aggregate form:

• Table 1.1: Entity Resource Statement
• Table 1.2: Entity 2025-26 Budget Measures
• Table 2.X.1: Budgeted Expenses for Outcome X
• Table 2.X.2: Program Component Expenses
• Table 3.1 to 3.6: Departmental Budgeted Financial Statements and
• Tables 3.7 to 3.11: Administered Budgeted Financial Statements.

Please note, total expenses reported in the CSV file ‘2025-26 PBS line items dataset’ were prepared from individual entity program expense tables. Totalling these figures does not produce the total expense figure in ‘Table 1: Estimates of General Government Expenses’ (Statement 6, Budget Paper 1). Differences relate to:

1. Intra entity charging for services which are eliminated for the reporting of general government financial statements
2. Entity expenses that involve revaluation of assets and liabilities are reported as other economic flows in general government financial statements and
3. For some entities (e.g. Australian Strategic Policy Institute Limited) who receive grant funding and who are not appropriated via the Appropriation Bills, their expenses may be reported as part of their portfolio department's program expenses (as part of the general government sector).

The original PBS Excel files and published documents include sub-totals and totals by entity and appropriation type which are not included in the line item CSV. These can be calculated programmatically. Where modifications are identified they will be updated as required.

The structure of the line item CSV is:

• Portfolio
• Department/Entity
• Outcome
• Program
• Expense type
• Appropriation type
• Description
• 2024-25
• 2025-26
• 2026-27
• 2027-28
• 2028-29
• Source document
• Source table
• URL

All current Portfolios will be included in the in line-item CSV file.

Tables of interest found in both Budget Paper No.1 Budget Strategy and Outlook and Budget Paper No.4 Agency Resourcing are included for reference as well.
