Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

The Commonwealth has approved Victoria’s Direct Payments Project as a Social Security Act scheme, allowing the Victorian Department of Human Services to pay eligible people with disability directly so they can buy their own personal care under individualised planning and support. This approval lets the pilot operate under federal social security law and gives participants greater choice and control over their care.
