Income Management - Community Affairs 02/06/2011

Senator SIEWERT:  I would like to go to the new processes that will be part of the new trial sites, if that is possible. During estimates I have been following up on the new welfare reform processes and the new trial sites.

Income Management - Community Affairs  - 01/06/2011 - Cont.

Senator SIEWERT:  That would be appreciated, thank you. Who is in charge of the evaluation? I know there is money set aside. I know there is $1.3 million set aside for the evaluation—

Ms Carroll:  DEEWR is in charge of the overarching evaluation. The money is being appropriated to them.

Ms Carroll:  Yes.

Community Affairs - Income Management 01/06/2001 (cont)

They have now been identified and set up, so what level of involvement is FaHCSIA going to have on an ongoing basis?

Community Affiars - Basics Card - 01/06/2011

Senator SIEWERT:  Do we want to move on to the BasicsCard? I know some of this will be Centrelink, but presumably you will be involved in the process of ensuring there is a rollout of facilities for BasicsCards in each of these locations?

Community Affairs - 1/6/2011
Senator SIEWERT:  Can we deal with income management here?

Ms Carroll:  Yes. The plan under this outcome is to deal with income management, and also to deal with problem gambling. I know there were some questions earlier about when we would get to problem gambling.

CHAIR:  We will start with income management and we will go with the flow. 

Senator SIEWERT:  Can I also clarify, will we deal with DSP changes in disabilities and carers tomorrow?
Ms Carroll:  Yes.
