Michael Wynne from Taringa Australia posted on 2 Aug 2025 3:22:09 PM A group of people who have experienced this system and studied it carefully nail the problems in a few words. They have all been active in pressing governments for real change but have all been ignored. A change of direction is essential.
Susan Gai Russell from Pyrmont Australia posted on 1 Aug 2025 12:16:07 PM A very good look at the reality of Home Support and all its faults and lack of appropriate funding and levels of needed care forcing people into RAC which is an option for some everyone should have CHOICE and being able to financially afford that choice . And the over 65 NDIS ruling continues to be an illegal decision. My team provide spiritual and well being support to HACC clients and loneliness and social isolation and carer burnout are the biggest issues we support our beautiful clients who long for continued HOMEFULLNESS indeed keep the lights on
