The RBA's provision for its post-employment benefits was $2.1 million lower in 2020/21, due to a decline in the longevity of retired staff and an increase in discount rates used to measure the estimated future cost of providing these benefits in present value terms. Benefits of $4.7 million were paid out of the provision for post-employment benefits in 2020/21. 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 costs of providing benefits, or discount rates vary.
Other provisions include amounts for legal matters and workers compensation.
Other liabilities include contract liabilities of $23.1 million relating to unearned revenue from the provision of the CLF (Note 1(m)) and $19.6 million in lease liabilities. Interest on lease liabilities was $0.2 million in 2020/21.
