Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a ministerial determination that approves the Interchange Loddon‑Mallee organisation as an "approved scheme" under the Social Security Act 1991, effective from 16 February 1995.

Who it affects: This primarily impacts carers (parents, guardians, or respite providers) who use the Interchange Loddon‑Mallee program to support children with disabilities. When a care program is "approved" under section 35A, it means carers may qualify for government payments—specifically Carer Allowance—that help cover the costs of caring for a child with a disability.

Why it matters: Without this official designation, families using this particular regional Victorian disability support service might be denied carer payments available to those using other approved programs. This notice ensures equity in social security support for carers in the Loddon-Mallee region by recognizing their respite and family support services as legitimate care arrangements under the Act.
