    Fun Centrelink discovery: Disability Employment Services providers have limits on what compulsory activities they can put on your job plan, so they might put the meetings as voluntary. The issue? The meetings are always mandatory according to Centrelink. The job plan doesn’t actually matter and even if you do what they say you have to do, they can then have you cut off. Great system love it.

    In better news: I’m no longer required to interact with them, and instead need to continue seeking volunteer work. Vastly less bad.

      Not to mention when you show up and they tell you your provider is on leave/in a meeting/at another site today.

        That’s only happened to me once. Showed up, waiting twenty minutes, no one even told me until an hour later when they called to say he was out sick.

        He is almost always late though.
