Older Aussies to be slugged more for at-home care from next week

📢 Aged care advocates fear an incoming sector shake-up means new fees for at-home assistance could force older Australians to cut out important services.

Welfare suspensions roll on despite legal concerns about system Department of Employment and Workplace Relations secretary Natalie James paused cancellations and reductions of welfare benefits after the legality of the system was called into question, but suspensions have been inexplicably allowed to continue. Kristen Amiet October 24, 2025 - 9:00PM The legal status of the automated system used by the DEWR to ensure individuals receiving JobSeeker and other welfare benefits meet “mutual obligations” is still in doubt.

The government has continued to suspend the welfare benefits of thousands of Australians despite concerns the system is not lawful. The Targeted Compliance Framework (TCF) is an automated system used by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations to ensure individuals receiving JobSeeker and other welfare benefits meet “mutual obligations”, including attending appointments with employment service providers, applying for jobs and engaging with training. Individuals who fail to meet their mutual obligations accumulate demerit points, which may lead to a cancellation, suspension or reduction of their benefit. The system was introduced by the Coalition government in 2018. DEWR secretary Natalie James paused cancellations and reductions of benefits based on mutual obligations violations in March after the department received external legal advice the system might be unlawful, but suspensions have continued despite being underpinned by the same legislative framework.

Deputy secretary of employment and workforce Tania Rishniw told a hearing of the Education and Employment Legislation Committee on October 9 more than 320,000 suspensions relating to just over 205,000 people receiving JobSeeker benefits were made between May and July this year. At the same hearing, Ms James conceded the TCF was not currently operating in accordance with the legislation. “It’s not currently operating in alignment with the legislative framework because I have taken decisions to pause a number of aspects of that because of concerns about how they were being operationalised before,” the secretary said in response to a question on notice by Greens senator Penny Allman-Payne. Neither Ms James nor Senator Jess Walsh, representing Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Amanda Rishworth, would say if they had confidence in the legality of the TCF when pressed by Ms Allman-Payne. The secretary said in an earlier statement she would “not take any decision to resume social security payment reductions or cancellations unless and until it can be clearly demonstrated that the process to support the decision making complies with the law”, but the department did not respond to questions from The Australian about why suspensions have continued while cancellations and reductions were paused.

Another excellent article today on the ongoing Targeted Compliance Framework crisis that has rendered 'mutual obligations' unenforceable in The Australian—by Kristen Amiet, who wrote of her Robodebt experience in July.

She is asking the right questions.

This is outrageous. What ICE is doing is ILLEGAL. Every individual has a right to proper due process. The due process clauses in the 5th and 14th Amendments of our U.S. Constitution protects every person within U.S. borders, regardless of immigration status. (1/4)
