Special Disability Trusts: getting things sorted 

2011 

This booklet has been developed, together with a model trust deed, to help families who have decided to set up a Special Disability Trust.

The booklet includes information on:

  • planning for the future, taking account of disability issues generally
  • how families can use trusts to provide for family members with disability
  • the availability of concessions from social security and veterans' entitlement means tests for eligible family members establishing a Special Disability Trust.

Other languages

The Special Disability Trusts: getting things sorted booklet edition is also available in multiple languages. It can be downloaded as a PDF below or ordered using the product number for each booklet.

Note:  The Special Disability Trust English version booklet was updated in November 2011, however other languages have not been updated.  The main areas updated in the booklet were the new legislative measures that came into effect on 1 January 2011 and the Model Trust Deed was removed from the booklet.  View a copy of the current Model Trust Deed.
