  1. Just been told by the case manager of an aged care package that Services Australia might review and remove/decrease the level of a Home Care Package if it is being underutilised.

    10 months ago I explicitly asked if this would happen, and was told "No".

    Use it or lose it.

    This reversability is going to increase the workload on the primary carer in the short term. Though in the longer term action now may help.

    Links to the ... wow ... redoubtable Asher Wolf looking at another Services Australia failure around Centrelink debts.

    Benefit recipients are being treated so badly.
    The Targeted Compliance Framework has corrupted the system and twisted the purposes of welfare payments into being a tool to oppress and demonise benefit recipients.

    What you reckon Anthony Albanese?
    Time to end this dog act?

  8. CW: robodebt, self harm

    So how did it come that allegedly some 2000 #Australians killed themselves?

    Where is the official government account of how #RoboDebt lead to their death?

    Does the #AustralianGovernment even acknowledge the pivotal role that the Robodebt scheme had in these deaths?

    Has it taken the steps necessary to stop the harassment, bastardry, authoritarian thuggery, #WagesTheft and #HomelessnessRisk brought by #ServicesAustralia, #Centrelink, the #HomeRentalIndustry etc etc?

  13. A shoutout to #ServicesAustralia for wasting 30 minutes of care time for a frail aged #Australian.

    Well done you dipsticks, ordering a replacement Pensioner Concession card really does need to be a high security matter doesn't it?

    May constipation be your constant companion.

  14. CW: Sorry for rant but..

    Finally restored my #MyGov account and all the linkages to other government services.
    (Like many other it was hacked back in November and they locked me out)
    The process was very long and very stressful. I must have had to prove I was me about 100 times over 24 hours. What a ridiculously complex system.
    #Australia really you can do better

  15. Centrelink requires that you update your income and assets within 2 weeks of a significant change. I did that 8 weeks ago. It still hasn't been "approved". Meanwhile my account is locked. So if I have another update then I can only do that by phoning in. Then while I wait on the phone for an hour they will keep repeating how easy it is do do updates online. I'm pretty sure that all of these govt call centres are seriously understaffed at the moment. SERCO have the biggest contracts for both Centrelink & the ATO. They make huge profits while paying their call centre staff minimum wage. #Centrelink #ServicesAustralia

  16. CW: unemployed australians w hobbies marked as fulltime employed

    It is really awful to know that people who think they are doing the right thing by reporting everything accurately and completely are being systematically shut out from basic support, based on whimsical determinations of #ServicesAustralia (previously #DHS Dept. Of #HumanServices) that Section 595 of the #SocialSecuritiesAct does not relate to #SelfEmployment.

    This is exposing #hobbyists to price shocks and all manner of difficulties.
