Administrative funding amounts
Administrative funding is paid twice a year to eligible registered political parties and independent members of parliament. The amount each participant receives depends on the number of elected members they have in the South Australian Parliament. All funding amounts are half-yearly entitlements and are indexed annually in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The following table outlines the half-yearly administrative funding amounts available to eligible participants.
