Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination declares South Australia's Individualised Funding disability program an "approved personal care support scheme" under the Social Security Act, so payments from that SA program are generally exempt from Centrelink income tests. It affects South Australians who receive Individualised Funding and also claim Commonwealth benefits (e.g., Disability Support Pension), preventing state disability payments from reducing their federal pensions.
