My Department is developing a proposal for a contribution to cost scheme for people in international protection accommodation.

This proposal will consider options to require adults who are in receipt of income, and are living in International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) accommodation, to make a contribution to their accommodation costs.

Work is ongoing by officials in my Department to develop a contribution model proposal, and to date no external contractors have been engaged on this project.
