well I agree with that. In general. There are two types of care though - home care and residential care. Both are funded to supposedly deliver particular services and the needs are assessed to determine the packages.

Whether it’s as simple as giving the money directly to the families may be a bit more debatable though. Having had a brief spell in the sector looking at workforce capability and remaining close friends with my client at the time I can assure you that families seek weird and wonderful uses of the funds intended to provide support services. Not all of these are exactly what you’d expect, want or approve of.

i want people who receive government funding to be accountable for it. But I also think australia has a particular talent for complicating entitlements and controls to the point that the intent of the benefit is lost. But the controls are there in the first place because apparently some parties think there is electoral benefit in being stingy

Hi P

Controls are needed and as you say :- australia has a particular talent for complicating entitlements and controls to the point that the intent of the benefit is lost.

I believe that the KISS system is usually best, and accept that no system is perfect, I just see the waste which is out of the benefits of the aged

I was organizing a Provider for a friend and one of the proposals I received charged 55% commission to handle the funds as well as a commission of 300% on any charges they made, and there is no law to say that they can't

So out of each fortnightly benefit payment of $3000 they took about $2200 as their share

And it is legal ** So whatever is done would be better than the current system
