Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument lets people holding a Safe Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV) apply for the Special Benefit—Australia’s last‑resort welfare payment—when they face severe financial hardship. It affects the “legacy” group of temporary SHEV holders (boat arrivals 2007–2013) and matters because it provides a basic safety net they otherwise would not qualify for while on a temporary visa.
