The Australian Access Card or Health and social services access card was a proposed Australian Government non-compulsory electronic identity card. John Howard, the then Australian Prime Minister announced the introduction of the scheme on 26 April 2006. Under the scheme, the card would be required for personal identification by an Australian citizen or permanent resident wishing to access benefits or services administered by the Department of Human Services, Department of Veterans Affairs or (from 2010) the universal Medicare. The scheme was to be phased in over two years, beginning in 2008, but the newly elected Labor Rudd Government terminated the project in November 2007. == Scope == It was proposed that the Access Card would be required for identification purposes in accessing government benefits or services, such as: * Welfare benefits administered by Centrelink, including: * *unemployment, * *disability, * *veterans, and * *study allowances. * The Health Care Card and Seniors Health Card. * Medicare subsidised health care, both bulk-billing and claim back. * The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which provides subsidised medications. * Child Support Agency Australia services. * CRS Australia vocational rehabilitation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Access Card (Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
