New participation requirements
From 1 July 2012, the Australian Government is providing more support for people with a disability. Disability Support Pension (DSP) customers who are under 35 years of age and have been assessed as having some capacity for activities may need to meet with us for regular participation interviews.
At the initial interview we will discuss your circumstances, goals and plans for the future and develop a DSP participation plan. We will also provide you with information about local support services that may help you progress towards your goals.
The participation plan will be flexible and include activities that interest you. Other than the requirement to attend regular participation interviews, activities within the plan will be voluntary.
Starting from 1 July 2012, we will contact you if you are a DSP customer who is under 35 and have been assessed as having some capacity for activities. We will invite you to attend your initial participation interview.
You will not be asked to attend participation interviews if you have a dependent child under six years of age or are employed under the Supported Wage System or in an Australian Disability Enterprise.
For more information visit humanservices.gov.au/dsp or call us on 132 717.
