I assume “Other purposes” is govt kickbacks to mining and gas companies 😬

    I’m surprised so much money is going towards disability, what kind of stuff do they get?

        Yeah 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.

      What @hanni said. But they also split out the unemployment payment as the disability support payment. So it’s all the disabled pension too.

      My guess is this is mostly support payments for people who are unable to work.

      There 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.

      Australian support services can be quite broad. I know a lot of people with minor or self diagnosed issues that receive disability payments
