Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This law allows Centrelink to share your personal information with the HOME Advice Program. What is the HOME Advice Program? It's a government service that helps people get their household finances and expenses under control (HOME stands for Household Organisational Management Expenses). What does this do? Normally, strict privacy laws prevent Centrelink from disclosing your details to other programs. This determination creates a specific legal exception so that HOME Advice counsellors can access necessary information—such as your income, debts, or benefit history—to give you proper financial advice without breaching secrecy rules. Who does it affect? Anyone receiving social security payments who is referred to or uses the HOME Advice Program.
