Services Australia released an operational blueprint detailing Australian residence requirements for payment qualification, effective 23 September 2024. The document establishes that all social security payments, family assistance, and parental leave payments require applicants to be Australian residents, with specific exceptions including Age Pension and some Disability Support Pension customers exempt from ongoing residence requirements, holders of certain temporary visas, Pacific Australia Labour Mobility visa holders with family accompaniment approval, and New Zealand citizens under the 10-year residence exemption. The document outlines how residence status affects payment portability outside Australia and notes that claim forms contain residence verification requirements. Historical information about Dad and Partner Pay (closed 30 June 2024) was included. Sections were redacted under exemptions 22 (irrelevant material) and 47E(d).
