Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This short legal instrument helps families set up Special Disability Trusts for relatives with severe disabilities without affecting the beneficiary's Centrelink payments.

What it does The document nominates the Commonwealth State/Territory Disability Agreements (CSTDAs) — contracts between the federal government and states/territories about disability services — as the official benchmark for determining who qualifies as a trust beneficiary.

Why it matters To establish a Special Disability Trust, the person with disability must meet strict severity criteria. This law says: If you are eligible for disability services under these Commonwealth-State agreements, you automatically meet the medical requirements to be a beneficiary of one of these trusts.

Who it affects Families establishing Special Disability Trusts, and people with disabilities who access services under the nominated agreements (since replaced by the National Disability Agreement).
