Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This specification tells Centrelink which government payments count as relocation assistance — financial help to cover moving costs so people can take up employment.

Which programs are covered:

Connecting People with Jobs trial — administered by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR)
Move 2 Work — also administered by DEEWR

The fine print: If you receive multiple payments from either of these programs for the same job, only the first payment is officially recognised as relocation assistance. Any subsequent payments for that same employment don't count.

This replaces an earlier 2010 version and determines how these moving-cost subsidies affect a person's social security entitlements.
