The RBA's provision for its post-employment benefits was $18.9 million lower in 2016/17, largely due to an increase in the discount rate. Benefits of $4.6 million were paid out of the provision for post-employment benefits in 2016/17. The balance of the provision for post-employment benefits will change if assumptions about the length of staff service, the longevity of retired staff, future movements in medical costs or the discount rate vary.

Other provisions consist of $488,000 for workers compensation ($694,000 at 30 June 2016).
