Explanatory Note

This note is not part of the welfare programme but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This programme comes into effect on 1 February 1999, and provides for Transition Grant payments to be made to sole parents who cease receiving a benefit to commence employment. A payment may be made during a period when the sole parent is unable to work because of sickness or a dependent child’s sickness and paid sick leave is unavailable to the parent, or because of a breakdown in childcare arrangements and paid sick leave or annual leave is unavailable to the parent. There is a 6 month period of eligibility, and no more than $500 may be paid in that period.
