This commencement instrument brings the Australia–Hungary social security agreement into force from 1 October 2012. It activates the regulations that allow contribution periods in both countries to be totalised for benefit eligibility.

It affects migrants, expatriates and cross‑border workers claiming age pensions, disability or survivors’ benefits, ensuring those who split careers between Australia and Hungary can combine work history to meet entitlement rules.
