Re: New Community Services program likely to be approved by Cabinet this week. CONFIDENTIAL
A leak from a reputable source at Parliament House has indicated that it appears very likely that the Government will announce a new community services directive later this week. The directive will be a restriction on the amount of money that can be “cashed” from a pension check. Under the proposal, only $30 per week will be allowed to be cashed. All other money will need to be spent on either rent, food, clothing or schooling costs.
The initiative is designed to prevent pension recipients from spending money on such things as gambling, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs and follows the Royal Commission into Children’s Poverty report tabled in Parliament last week.
As this information is highly confidential until confirmed following released by Cabinet, staff should not discuss this with anybody outside the organisation. Staff should however commence with work to consider the impact of this directive on current programs and clients.
