What this does

This document officially approves a South Australian disability support scheme called the Phase One: Self-managed Funding Initiative. This approval is made under the Commonwealth Social Security Act 1991.

Why it matters

When a state scheme is approved like this, money that people receive from it is typically exempt from the Centrelink income test. This means:

People with disabilities who get this SA funding to pay for their own carers (self-managed care) won't have their Centrelink pension or allowance reduced because of that money
They can manage their own care budget without losing social security benefits

Who it affects

South Australians participating in the Phase One: Self-managed Funding Initiative (run by the SA Department for Families and Communities) who also receive Commonwealth social security payments.
