                           Note 1     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
                           Basis of Preparation
                           The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in
                           accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and
                           the Corporations Act 2001 . The company is a not-for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under
                           Australian Accounting Standards.

                           Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in
                           financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and
                           conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are
                           presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

                           The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, 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. The amounts presented in the financial
                           statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
                           Accounting Policies
                           (a)       Revenue
                                     Non-reciprocal grant revenue is recognised in profit or loss when the entity obtains control of the
                                     grant and it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity
                                     and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably.
                                     If conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before it is eligible to receive the
                                     contribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are
                                     satisfied.
                                     When grant revenue is received whereby the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic
                                     value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant
                                     revenue is recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability until the service has
                                     been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.
                                     Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received.
                                     Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate
                                     financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the
                                     right to receive a dividend has been established.
                                     Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the
                                     customer.
                                     All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
                           (b)       Inventories on hand
                                     Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement cost.
                                     Inventories acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration are measured at the current
                                     replacement cost as at the date of acquisition.
                          (c)        Property, Plant and Equipment
                                     Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less,
’                                    where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
                                     Plant and Equipment
                                     Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less
                                     accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying
                                     amount of plant and equipment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the carrying
                                     amount is written down immediately to its estimated recoverable amount and impairment
                                     losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses
                                    relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when
                                     impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1 (f) for details of impairment).
                                    Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
                                    as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
                                    will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs
                                    and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss in the financial period in which
                                    they are incurred.
