Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The instrument declares Western Australia’s Individual, Family and Carer Support Grants Scheme an “approved scheme” under the Social Security Act 1991 so state disability grants are treated more favorably in Centrelink income/asset tests. That prevents Commonwealth benefits being reduced simply because someone receives this state assistance.

It affects Western Australian people with disabilities, their carers and families who receive those grants and also claim Commonwealth social security; the approval is backdated to 3 Nov 1995 (signed 25 Apr 1996).
