minus-squarehanni@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 year agoSome need 24/7 care. Not sure what people in australia are getting.
minus-squareJolan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoYeah that makes sense I guess, I just wasn’t expecting it to be so much. But that’s good that there’s such a good support structure available.

minus-squarecrossover@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoMy guess is this is mostly support payments for people who are unable to work.
minus-squarebirbboidaseed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThere is a whole department dedicated to the assessment and allocation of funding for the disabled under 65 y.o. If you’re over 65 then it became the aged pension.
