Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This determination identifies which visa holders—mainly partner/relationship visa holders and certain temporary protection and humanitarian visa holders—are exempt from the Newly Arrived Resident’s Waiting Period when claiming Special Benefit, the Centrelink payment for people in severe financial hardship. It clarifies who can access Special Benefit without the usual waiting period that applies to new residents.

It replaces a 1999 determination and removes an outdated paragraph from a 1997 instrument to keep the eligible-visa lists current.
