Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument updates the official list of intergovernmental agreements used to decide who can qualify as a beneficiary of a Special Disability Trust. It explicitly recognises modern disability support schemes—including the NDIS—so participation in those programs can help people with severe disability meet the trust’s eligibility rules.

That change affects people with severe disability and their families by widening the accepted evidence that a person meets the trust’s disability criteria, potentially preserving Centrelink entitlements while funding care and accommodation.
