Plain English Summary

What it does

This determination approves a South Australian disability support program called ‘Individualised Funding’ as an “approved scheme” under the Social Security Act 1991.

Who it affects

People who receive personal care payments through South Australia’s Individualised Funding program, and who also receive Commonwealth social security benefits (like the Disability Support Pension or Age Pension).

Why it matters

When a state program is declared an “approved scheme,” payments made under that program are generally excluded from the Centrelink income test. This means recipients can receive their Individualised Funding support without having their pension or benefit reduced. In short, it stops people from being financially penalised for receiving state-based disability support.

Key detail

The program was established by the South Australian Department for Communities and Social Inclusion, but this Commonwealth instrument is what makes it “safe” for Centrelink purposes.
