Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination declares Queensland’s “Your Life Your Choice Self‑Directed Support” program an approved scheme under the Social Security Act, so payments (including via host providers) are not counted as income by Centrelink when assessing Commonwealth pensions and benefits.

It affects Queenslanders with disabilities who self-manage personal care and their host providers, ensuring state disability support doesn’t reduce or cancel federal social security entitlements.
