Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): From 1 July, main benefits will increase by $20. This is the first stage of Budget 2021 increases, which will see weekly main benefit rates increase by between $32 and $55 by April next year. These benefit increases will mean around 355,000 families and individuals will be better off. These increases build on the other significant changes we have made to the welfare system since 2017.
