Income Management (IM) quarantines a portion of welfare recipients’ social security payments, placing these funds in a special account. Quarantined funds cannot be withdrawn as cash and cannot be used to purchase prohibited goods and services such as alcohol, illicit drugs, gambling products or pornography. Compulsory Income Management (CIM) was first introduced to Australia – and, indeed, the world – in 2007 as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER) and has been through several incarnations in the decade since. A comparable policy – ‘Money Management’ – was introduced to New Zealand in 2012.
