Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The determination declares the ACT Lifetime Care and Support Scheme an “approved scheme” under the Social Security Act, so lifetime care and support paid through it (medical treatment, rehab, daily assistance) won’t be treated as income for Centrelink means tests. It affects ACT participants with catastrophic injuries (commonly from motor vehicle crashes) and prevents their Commonwealth pensions or benefits being reduced or cancelled because they receive ACT scheme support.
