Federal Budget provides funding for continuing measures

On Tuesday 12 May 2026 the Treasurer, the Hon Dr Jim Chalmers MP, delivered the 2026–27 Federal Budget, which included $59.8 million in funding for the CDPP, for the following measures:

• $40.8 million over two years from 2026–27 for the Attorney-General’s Portfolio – additional resourcing measure; 
• $14.6 million over four years from 2026–27 ($3.7 million per year ongoing beyond the forward estimates) for the Securing the National Disability Insurance Scheme for Future Generations measure;
• $4.2 million in 2026–27 for the Supporting Border Security measure; and
• $0.2 million in 2026–27 for the Home Affairs – additional resourcing measure.

The CDPP thanks the Australian Government, the Attorney-General and agency partners for their support in the form of this continued funding which is an acknowledgment of our work as the peak agency in the Commonwealth criminal justice system.
