This FOI release from Services Australia comprises seven operational documents (one released in full, six in part) concerning Disability Support Pension (DSP) customers who wish to travel or move overseas under the "no future work capacity" (NWC) portability provisions. The procedure documents explain that a customer must have a Job Capacity Assessment and medical report completed before departure, that only Centrelink International Services staff can refer for these assessments, and that a manifest DSP customer must contact the agency before leaving Australia to be approved. Other materials include JCA report-writing guidance, an international services assessment overview, case studies and a taskcard. Safeguards noted include warnings that assessments may lead to DSP cancellation, that the assessment is voluntary, and that reviews must rest on robust medical evidence. Some material is withheld under sections 22 and 47E(d).
