Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This determination approves a Queensland disability support program called "Your Life Your Choice Self-Directed Support" (specifically the Host Providers and Direct Payment components) under the Social Security Act 1991.

Who it affects: People with disabilities in Queensland who receive support through this state government scheme, and who also receive Commonwealth social security payments (such as the Disability Support Pension or Age Pension).

Why it matters: When a personal care support scheme is "approved" under section 35A of the Social Security Act, any payments or subsidies people receive under that scheme are not counted as income when Centrelink calculates their pension or benefit entitlements. This ensures that state-funded disability support does not reduce federal social security payments.

Key detail: The scheme is run by the Queensland Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services, and this approval specifically covers payments made through host providers or direct payment arrangements.
