Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination declares payments under NSW’s Attendant Care Program Direct Funding Model exempt income for Centrelink, so recipients’ pensions or allowances (e.g., Disability Support Pension, Age Pension) won’t be reduced because they use these funds to pay for personal care. It applies to people in NSW managing their own attendants and replaces a 2006 pilot approval, making the exemption permanent and retrospective to 25 August 2008.
