If you are under pension age (67) then your DSP is tax exempt and is not assessable (taxable) income. You can have assessable income (from a job or investments) up to the tax free threshold ($18200) without having that income taxed. Probably even more (depending on what tax offsets you are entitled to) before you would pay any tax.
