When gifting exceptions apply
We have some exceptions to how we assess gifting.
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.
Employment Services Assessments
If you need help finding a job, we'll assess the impact of your barriers to work including disability, illness or injury.
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.
Income Stream Reviews
Each financial year we review certain types of income streams. We do this to ensure we assess your payments and concession cards correctly.
How much Special Benefit you can get
The amount of Special Benefit you can get depends on your circumstances.
