Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument approves two specific disability support schemes as 'personal care schemes' under the Social Security Act 1991.

The schemes approved are:

Cash Allowance Attendant Care Scheme operated by the Spastic Society of Victoria
Attendant Care Schemes operated by the Multiple Sclerosis Society

Who it affects: People with disabilities who receive payments from these organisations, and the organisations that run the schemes.

Why it matters: When a scheme is 'approved' under the Act, payments made to beneficiaries are typically treated favourably under social security income tests (means testing). This usually means recipients can receive these care payments without having their pension or benefit reduced, or with minimal impact on their payment rates.
