Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
The consolidated general purpose financial statements are for the Company and its controlled entities (the "Consolidated Group"). This includes Life Without Barriers (a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia), Family and Youth Therapeutic Services Limited (New Zealand subsidiary), LWB QLD SBB Limited, LWB Disability Services South Limited, LWB Disability Services Central Limited and DUO Services Limited.
The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. However, principles of consolidation still apply and additional financial information in relation to the parent entity is included in Note 26.
A statement of compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) cannot be made due to the Consolidated Group applying not-for-profit specific requirements contained in the Australian Accounting Standards.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors (Responsible Entities) on 20 September 2019.
1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012.
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Rounding of amounts
The Consolidated Group is an entity to which ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191 applies and, accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and Directors' Report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and performance of controlled entities from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost.
lntragroup assets, liabilities, funds, income, expenses and cashflows relating lo transactions between entities of the group have been eliminated in full for !he purpose of these consolidated financial statements.
Appropriate adjustments have been made to a controlled entity's financial statements where the accounting policies used by that entity were different from those adopted in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment in joint venture
A joint venture is an arrangement in which the entity has joint control, whereby the entity has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Interests in joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. The reporting date of the joint venture and the entity are identical. The investment in the joint venture is carried in the Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the entity's share of net assets of the joint venture, less any impairment in value. The Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income reflects the entity's share of the results of operations of the joint venture.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
(a) Revenue and other income
Grants
Government funding which is contingent upon certain outcomes, including the expenditure of certain amounts, is recognised as revenue only when those outcomes are achieved and only to the extent of the expenditure incurred. Funding received that has not achieved such outcomes is recognised as other payables. Funding which is not contingent upon certain outcomes is recognised as revenue over the periods to which it relates.
Government funding on some programs includes the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenditure incurred. Such amounts are included in Government grant revenue.
NDIS revenue and other service revenue
Fees charged for care or services provided to clients are recognised when the service is provided.
Fundraising and donations
Fundraising and donations collected, including cash and goods for resale, are recognised as revenue when the Consolidated Group gains control, economic benefits are probable and the amount of the donation can be measured reliably.
Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 (NSW): this Act and supporting Charitable Fundraising Regulation prescribe the manner in which fundraising appeals are conducted, controlled and reported. The amounts shown in note 25 are in accordance with Authority Condition 7, which is issued to the Company under section 19 of the Act.
Donations for Special Purposes: Any donations received where the use of those funds is restricted under the conditions of the contribution to Special Purposes are allocated to the specific fund's account and any surplus in relation to these funds are transferred from Accumulated Funds to Special Purpose Funds at the end of each financial year.
Cost of fundraising: costs used in note 25 include all direct fundraising costs in accordance with the Act. The inclusion of indirect costs is discretionary. Exclusion of the indirect costs decreases the cost of fundraising and increases the ratios in note 25.
General fundraising: costs charged to general fundraising relate to processing unsolicited donations and the planning and development of future fundraising activities. Once a decision is taken to proceed with a specific fundraising appeal, relevant costs are allocated to the specific appeal. Revenue from unsolicited donations is credited to general fundraising.
Any surplus arising from fundraising appeals is applied to the charitable purposes of the Company. Various services are donated to the Consolidated Group. No assessment of the value of those services is included in these accounts.
Other sources of income which are not tied to specific outcomes (including fundraising revenue and donations) are recognised as revenue when the following conditions are met:
(a) the Consolidated Group obtains control of the contribution or the right to receive the contribution;(b) it is probable that the economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to the
Consolidated Group; and(c) the amount of the contribution can be measured reliably.
Donated property and goods are accepted on the basis they will provide a future economic benefit. Revenue is brought to account when the property and goods are received and is recorded at fair value, which is represented by either wholesale value or independent valuation.
Interest and dividends
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Dividend income is recognised when the entity's right to receive payment is established, usually through a formal announcement of the company distributing the dividends.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Rental income
Rental revenue is recognised on an accruals basis when the entity's right to receive payment is established under the lease.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(b) Expenses
Employee benefits expense-service delivery include payments made to employed staff engaged to provide direct service delivery. Administration and managerial employee benefits include operational managers, human resources, finance, marketing, information and communications technology, and operational planning and development staff.
Service delivery costs include direct service delivery expenses other than employee benefits. These include assessments, living expenses and program or activity expenses.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
The Consolidated Group holds and controls funds in resident trust and house accounts. To the extent the client retains rights to these funds a liability for client monies is recognised.
(d) Trade and other receivables
The Consolidated Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Consolidated Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
The Consolidated Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess credit risk characteristics based on the days past due. The Consolidated Group allows 100% for amounts that are 180 days past due.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Items of property, plant and equipment that have been donated or acquired at nominal cost are recognised at fair value of the asset at the date the company obtains control of the asset.
Property
Land and buildings are measured using the cost model less depreciation and impairment losses on buildings.
Leasehold improvements
Leasehold Improvements are measured on the cost model less depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant & equipment is measured on the cost model less depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land is depreciated on a straight-line method from the date that management determine that the asset is available for use.
The useful life used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.
When an asset is disposed, the gain or loss is calculated by comparing proceeds received with its carrying amount and is taken to profit or loss.
Make good provision
During the current financial year a provision for the estimated cost for the make good of operating leases was recorded. The provision relates to the expected future cost and is based on management's best estimate of the cost to restore the leased premises to their agreed original state at the expiration of the lease agreement.
(f) Intangible assets
Costs incurred in developing Information Technology products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute to the future financial benefits of the Group through revenue generation and cost reduction are capitalised. Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and direct wages. Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years depending on the expected benefit of the software, system or licence to the company. Amortisation is included within depreciation and amortisation expense.
The internal and external costs of developing Information Technology systems include only those costs incurred in the development phase. Costs incurred in relation to scoping, feasibility, product selection, user training and documentation are not capitalised.
Work-in-progress
Work-in-progress assets includes capitalised costs incurred in developing Information Technology products or systems that will contribute to the future financial benefits of the Group through revenue generation and cost reduction are capitalised that are not yet complete or installed ready for use. The costs capitalised are measured in accordance with the Intangible Assets note above. Once the Information Technology system or product is installed and ready for use the accumulated costs will be transferred to Intangible Assets and amortised accordingly using the straight line method over periods of 3 to 5 years.
(g} Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.
Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset's ability to generate net cash inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.
(h) Financial instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable}
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:
• amortised cost
• fair value through profit or toss (FVPL)
• equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
Classifications are determined by both:
• The entities business model for managing the financial asset
• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses.
Subsequent measurement of financial assetsFinancial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):
• they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows
• The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as long-term deposit that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than 'hold to collect' or 'hold to collect and sell' are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply (see below).
Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)
Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital. This category includes unlisted equity securities that were previously classified as 'available-for-sale' under AASB 139.
Impairment offinancial assets
AASB 9's impairment requirements use more forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses - the 'expected credit losses (ECL) model'. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other
Life Without Barriers

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
ln applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
• financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk ('Stage 1') and
• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low ('Stage 2').
'Stage 3' would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. '12-month expected credit losses' are recognised for the first category while 'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised for the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of thefinancial instrument.
(i) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(j) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
The amount recognised as a provision is an estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
During the current financial year a provision for the estimated cost for the make good of operating leases was recorded. The provision relates to the expected future cost and is based on management's best estimate of the cost to restore the leased premises to their agreed original state at the expiration of the lease agreement.
(k) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the actual draw-down of the facility are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Consolidated Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(I) Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the Consolidated Group, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the company will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are
Life Without Barriers
17
Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. The lease is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.
(m) Employee benefits
i) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits are recognised in other liabilities and annual leave, long service leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within twelve months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in current provision in respect of employees' services rendered up to the end of the reporting period. These balances are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable.
ii) Long-term employee benefits
Long service leave not expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are included in non-current provisions. They are measured based on the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and where relevant are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.
iii) Superannuation
Contributions are made by the Consolidated Group to an employee's superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(n} Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
(o) Unexpended grants
The Consolidated Group receives grant monies to fund projects for contracted periods of time. Where there is a contractual obligation to return unexpended amounts, the policy is to treat these grant monies as unexpended funds in the balance sheet. Where the unexpended funds can be spent in a subsequent financial period, it is recognised as future funding. Where required by the contract, unexpended grant monies are returned if they are not required to extinguish the service obligations under the contract.
(p) Income tax
No provision for income tax has been raised as the Consolidated Group is exempt from income fax under Div. 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(q) Comparative Amounts
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2019
(r) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Consolidated Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction. At
the end of the reporting period:
• Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.
• Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
• Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are recognised through profit or loss, except where they relate to an item of other comprehensive income or where they are deferred in equity as foreign currency translation reserve.
(s) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The effect of the change relating to the current period is recognised as income or expense in the current period. The effect, if any, on future periods is recognised as income or expense in those future periods.
Key estimates - impairment
The Consolidated Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Consolidated Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Fair value less costs to sell or current replacement cost calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
Key judgments • provision for impairment of receivables
A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables has been made amounting to $4,639,770 (2018:$2,900,141) at balance sheet date. This amount is made up of a provision of trade receivables over 180 days and other amounts which are considered non-recoverable.
Key judgments - make good provision
During the current financial year a provision for the estimated cost for the make good of operating leases was recorded. The provision relates to the expected future cost and is based on management's best estimate of the cost to restore the leased premises to their agreed original state at the expiration of the lease agreement.
Key judgments • useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment.
Key judgments - long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured based on the expected future payments to be made to employees at the reporting date. In determining the expectation, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation may have been taken into account.

(t) Economic dependence
Life Without Barriers is dependent on State and Federal Government funding for the majority of its revenue used to operate the business. At the date of this report the Board of Directors has no reason to believe that Government funding will not continue.
(u) Changes in accounting estimates during the year
During the year, Life Without Barriers reassessed the useful life of its capitalised software development costs to 4 - 6 years. This resulted in a reduction in amortisation expense for the year of $1,001,024.
During the year, Life Without Barriers reassessed the assumptions used to calculate long service leave provisions. This resulted in a $617,000 decrease in the long service leave provision.
(v) New accounting standards and interpretations
The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Consolidated Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. The following table summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Consolidated Group:
Standard Name
Effective date Requirements
Impact
AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities
1 January 2019 AASB 1058 clarifies and simplifies the income recognilion requirements that apply to NFP entities, in conjunction with AASB 15. These Standards supersede all the income recognition requirements relating to private sector NFP entities, and the majority of income recognition requirements relating lo public sector NFP entities, previously in AASB 1004 Contributions.
The requirements of AASB 1058 more closely reflect the economic reality of NFP entity transactions that are not contracts with customers. The timing of income recognition depends on whether such a transaction gives rise to a liability or other performance obligation (a promise to transfer a good or service), or a contribution by owners, related to an asset (such as cash or another asset) received by an entity.
This new standard will apply when a NFP entity receives volunteer services or enters intoother transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset is significantly less than the fair value of the asset principally to enable the entity to further its objectives. In the latter case, the entity will recognise and measure the asset at fair value in accordance with the applicable Australian Accounting Standard (e.g. AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment).
Upon initial recognition of the asset, this Standard will require the entity to consider whether any other financial statement element s (called 'related amounts') should be recognised, suchas:a) contributions by owners:b} revenue, or a contractliability arising from a contract with a customer;c) a lease liability;d} a financial instrument; or e} a provision.
These related amounts will be accounted for in accordance with the applicable Australian Accounting Standard.
Based on the entity's assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2020.

. recognised over time or at a point in time
provides new and more detailed guidance on specific
topics (e.g., multiple element arrangements, variable

Based on the entity's assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2020.
Existing government funding contracts that were accounted for under AASB 1004 Contributions, will now be accounted for AASB15. This change will not have a material impact on revenue recognition.
AASB 16 Leases 1 January 2019A.ASB 16:replaces AASB 117 Leases and some lease-related. Interpretationsrequires aII leases to be accounted for 'on-balance sheet'by lessees, other than short-term and low value asset. leasesprovides new guidance on the application of the definition. of lease and on sale and lease back accounting. largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117requires new and different disclosures about leases
The entity has undertaken a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB16. Based on management's assessment the impact on first time adoption of the standard at 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective basis is as follows:
Right of use asset recognised- $34,077,000Lease liabilities recognised -$35,957,000Reduction in net assets •$1,880,000EBIT in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit interest in lease payments for former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs rather than being included in operating expensesoperating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows as principal repayments on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than operating activities.Interest can also be included within financing activities.
(w} Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
During the current year, the Consolidated Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. The adoption of these Standards has not impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of transactions.

19 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities
The Consolidated Group had the following contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period:
2019 2018
Note $'000 $'000Bank guarantees 19(a) 1,917 1,500Capital funding 19(b) 7,064 7,064
(a) Bank guarantees
The Consolidated Group provides bank guarantees in relation to commercial leases. At reporting date, the entity is not likely to default on the leases. These guarantees are secured by a charge over term deposits valued at$2,000,000.
(b) Capital funding
Capital funding received from Government departments has been used to purchase properties in Life Without Barriers sole name. The Government departments have lodged caveats or mortgages over the title for the normal life of the property, to protect their interest. If a property is sold within the caveat or mortgage period, using the express written approval of the department, then the capital amount provided must be repaid to the department. The Consolidated Group has not breached any of the caveat or mortgage terms to date and is not likely to breach any terms or sell any properties in the foreseeable future.
(c) Claims
At 30 June 2019, Life Without Barriers had a contingent liability in relation to possible future claims made by former clients. Due to inconsistencies in the timing of claims coming to light and the unquantifiable impact of these claims, it is considered that any contingent liability from potential claims cannot be reliably estimated as at 30 June 2019.
20 Events Occurring After the Reporting Date
No adjusting or significant non-adjusting events have occurred since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Consolidated Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Group in future financial years.

23 Financial Risk Management (continued)
Objectives, policies and processes
Consisting of senior committee members, the risk management committee's overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the risk management committee on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. Specific information regarding the mitigation of each financial risk to which the Consolidated Group is exposed is provided below.
(a) Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.
At 30 June 2019, the Consolidated Group had financial liabilities totalling $28.?m. Bank interest rates are a combination of fixed and floating.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The company manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
• preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operation, investing and financing activities
• maintaining a reputable credit profile
• managing credit risk related to financial assets
• investing surplus cash with major financial institutions
• comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets
The Consolidated Group's liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below:

(c) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the balance sheet.
The trade receivables balance at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 do not include any counterparties with external credit ratings. The class of assets described as 'trade and other receivables' is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Consolidated Group.
The following table details the Consolidated Group's trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as 'past due' when they are greater than 30 days overdue. Information on financial assets past due but not impaired are as follows:

The Consolidated Group does not hold any financial assets with terms that have been renegotiated, but which would otherwise be past due or impaired. The other classes of receivables do not contain impaired assets. Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counter parties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the ConsolidatedGroup.
Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and removal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counter parties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counter parties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.
Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or in entities that the finance committee has otherwise cleared as being financially sound. Where the company is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, then risk may be further managed by retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default.

23 Financial Risk Management (continued)
(i) Credit risk exposures
The Consolidated Group's primary credit risk exposure is to State and Federal Government departments. There is no material exposure for credit recovery as at the 30 June 2019. Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Finance and Audit Committee in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counter parties with a Standard and Poor's (S&P) rating of at least A2. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on S&P counter party credit ratings.
Of the 2019 cash at bank balance below, $10,879,000 has been classified as other financial assets in the Statement of Financial Position.

108,069 76,496
(d) Price risk
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities.
The Consolidated Group manages the risks associated with its investments in accordance with approved governance guidelines and principles set out and approved through the Board. Investments are managed at arm's length by independent and fully qualified organisations under an agreed and approved mandate.
Fair value measurement
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the Statement of Financial Position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.
Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgment and the assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.
Differences between fair values and carrying values of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the Consolidated Group. Most of these instruments which are carried at amortised cost are to be held until maturity and therefore the net fair value figures calculated bear little relevance to the company.

Total financial liabilities 96,269 96,269 32,783 32,783
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three (3) levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three (3) levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values disclosed in the above table have been determined based on the following methodologies:
(i) Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and interest bearing liabilities are instruments similar in nature whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value. Trade and other payables exclude amounts provided for relating to annual leave and deferred income which is not considered a financial instrument.
(ii) Fair values are determined using quoted market price bids (Level 1).
Sensitivity analysis
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Consolidated Group's exposures to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. The table indicates the impact on how surplus/ (deficit) and equity values reported at balance date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

24 Capital management
Management control the capital of the Consolidated Group to ensure that adequate cash flows are generated to fund its programs and operations and that returns from investments are maximised. The Finance and Audit Committee ensures that the overall risk management strategy is in line with this objective.
The Finance and Audit Committee operates under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. Management effectively manage the Consolidated Group's capital by assessing the Consolidated Group's financial risks and responding to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses may include the consideration of debt levels.
There have been no changes to the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Consolidated Group since the previous year.

Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Life Without Barriers (the “Registered Entity”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in funds and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the Directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the financial report of Life Without Barriers has been prepared in accordance with Division 60 of theAustralian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012, including:
a giving a true and fair view of the Registered Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
b Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation 2013.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Registered Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Registered Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report
The Directors of the Registered Entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the ACNC Act, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Registered Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Registered Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Directors are responsible for overseeing the Registered Entity’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Registered Entity’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
47
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Registered Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Registered Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
