Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Determination (a type of subordinate legislation made by a Minister) specifies which humanitarian visa holders can receive a Crisis Payment from Centrelink.

A Crisis Payment is a one-off, non-taxable payment for people facing extreme circumstances—such as fleeing domestic violence, being released from prison, or arriving in Australia as a refugee.

This document lists the five specific visa types that qualify holders for this payment:

Subclass 200 (Refugee)
Subclass 201 (In-country Special Humanitarian)
Subclass 202 (Global Special Humanitarian)
Subclass 203 (Emergency Rescue)
Subclass 204 (Woman at Risk)

Only people holding one of these visas can qualify for a Crisis Payment based on their immigration status, provided they also meet other requirements in the Social Security Act 1991.
