123TA  Simplified outline

  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

         • This Part sets up an income management regime for recipients of certain welfare payments.
         • A person may become subject to the income management regime because:

                (a) the person lives in a declared relevant Northern Territory area; or
                (b) a child protection officer of a State or Territory requires the person to be subject to the income management regime; or
                (c) the person, or the person's partner, has a child who does not meet school enrolment requirements; or
                (d) the person, or the person's partner, has a child who has unsatisfactory school attendance; or
                (e) the Queensland Commission requires the person to be subject to the income management regime.

         • A person who is subject to the income management regime will have an income management account.
         • Amounts will be deducted from the person's welfare payments and credited to the person's income management account.
         • Amounts will be debited from the person's income management account for the purposes of enabling the Secretary to take action directed towards meeting the priority needs of:

                (a) the person; and
                (b) the person's partner; and
                (c) the person's children; and
                (d) any other dependants of the person.
