This program has been conducted for the last 12 years and has been extended to collect data for the 2021 through to 2023 financial years. It is estimated that information relating to approximately 100,000 individuals will be obtained each financial year. The information that will be obtained include identification, entitlement status, and approved entitlement period details. The data will primarily be used to promote voluntary compliance and develop educational strategies.
