4 Overview Specifically in relation to the 201213 Budget, the parameters applied are: CPI 2.8percent, being Darwin CPI growth in 2011; wages 3percent; and efficiency dividend 3 per cent for most agencies. For key service delivery agencies with high fixed staff costs, onequarter of the dividend is applied. These agencies include the Department of Health, the Department of Education andTraining, Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services and the Correctional Services component of the Department of Justice.
