Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This determination specifies that people holding a Subclass 070 Bridging (Removal Pending) visa must meet activity test requirements to receive Special Benefit payments.

Who it affects: People on temporary visas who are awaiting removal from Australia but remain in the community, and who are applying for Special Benefit—a Centrelink payment for those in severe financial hardship who cannot claim other benefits.

Why it matters: Normally, some visa holders are exempt from activity tests (such as looking for work or attending training). This instrument removes that exemption for Subclass 070 visa holders, meaning they must actively seek employment or participate in approved activities to continue receiving payments.
