Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This determination approves a specific ACT Government disability support program called the Enhanced Service Offer (run by the ACT Community Services Directorate).

Why it matters: Once approved under the Social Security Act 1991, any payments people receive from this ACT scheme for personal care support are exempt from Centrelink's income tests. This means the money from the ACT Government won't reduce someone's Centrelink benefits (like the Disability Support Pension or JobSeeker Payment).

Who it affects: People with disabilities in the Australian Capital Territory who receive personal care payments under the Enhanced Service Offer and also receive or apply for Commonwealth social security benefits.
