This legislative instrument, issued by the Australian Department of Social Services, defines specific activities for individuals who are principal carers of a child and are considered exempt welfare payment recipients. It is authorised under the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 and takes effect on March 26, 2026.

Compliance officers should review this instrument to understand the defined activities for principal carers who fall under this exemption. While no immediate compliance actions are specified for employers or other entities, awareness of these defined activities is necessary for accurate administration and reporting related to social security payments and exemptions.
