Social Security (Modernisation) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill amends the Social Security Act 2018 and the Social Security Regulation 2018, and is intended to enable the administration of a more efficient, modern welfare system through the use of automated decision making.MP in charge
