When gifting exceptions apply
We have some exceptions to how we assess gifting.
Private trusts and companies
If you’re part of a private trust or company, we need to know your share of the income and assets.
Asset hardship provisions
We may stop, reject or reduce your payment because of the assets test. If this is the case, you may be able to apply under the asset hardship provisions.
What the Financial Information Service is
The Financial Information Service helps you make informed decisions about your finances.
What gifts we include in income and assets tests
We may include your gift if you give away, sell or transfer it for less than its market value.
