Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination gives formal federal approval to a Tasmanian state disability support program so that it plays nicely with Centrelink payments.

What it does

Approves the "Self Directed Funding Pilot" (run by the Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services) as an "approved scheme" under the Social Security Act 1991
Once approved, any money or services participants receive through this pilot are generally ignored when Centrelink calculates their income and assets

Who it affects

Tasmanian residents with disabilities who are part of this specific state pilot program
Centrelink recipients who receive personal care support through the Tasmanian scheme

Why it matters

Without this approval, the financial support from the Tasmanian pilot could reduce someone's Centrelink pension or benefit, or even make them ineligible
This ensures participants can access both the state-funded personal care support and their federal social security entitlements without financial penalty
