Continued compliance with their obligations

Generally a young person will be considered to have demonstrated continued compliance with their obligations when:

  • they have earned all of the incentives that are available to them or
  • where a young person has a full or partial exemption, the service provider or Work and Income "in-house" service is satisfied that the young person is engaging with the provider as is required and
  • the young person has not had an activity obligations failure in the last six months

Note after a sanction has been imposed, the young person will be returned to youth money management. To earn the right to manage their money again, the service provider or Work and Income "in-house" service will need to be satisfied that the young person has been demonstrating a continued compliance with their obligations.
