Working age payment suspensions and cancellations

Question

Senator ASKEW: Can you provide the data to date for 2025-26 on the number of suspensions and cancellations for working-age payments by payment type? Mr Flavel: We'll take that on notice. As Mr Lye said, some of this starts to intersect with DEWR's responsibilities for administration of the main employment services system, in particular the mutual obligations arrangements that sit underneath it.
