ISSA Country Profiles — primary source

core_ss_issa.hub · yearly · issa.int/databases/country-profiles

Primary source for scheme architecture in every country we serve. Pull hub, about, and programmes-by-branch. Amounts can lag — overlay Budget / payments guide for current rates. Australia 1 Jan 2024 PDF is stored as core_ss_issa.au.2024.

Australia — core_ss_issa.au
ISSA comparative table: old age/disability/survivors, health, work injury, unemployment, family — present. Sickness cash is not a general ISSA 'X' for Australia (paid sick leave sits with employers / some awards). Scheme description: https://www.issa.int/node/195543?country=796 (Australia (1).pdf, policies as of 1 January 2024). Complementary pensions (Mandatory): https://www.issa.int/node/195545?country=796 (updated 31 December 2024). Use ISSA for structure; payments guide for current rates.

Primary comparative database of statutory social security.
South Africa — core_ss_issa.za
ISSA comparative table: old age/disability/survivors, health, sickness and maternity, work injury, unemployment, family — all present. Unemployment is marked employer-liability in that table; locally UIF is contributory social insurance. Use ISSA for structure; SASSA/DEL for current rates.

Methodology

coreau_ss_methodology.centrelink_indexation

Centrelink payment rates

Maximum rates from Services Australia. Pensions and most allowances index on 20 March and 20 September. FTB indexes 1 July. Income and assets tests can pay less than the maximum. Current Compass figures are overlaid from the 1 July–19 September 2026 payments guide (co029-2607).
