  • Better Access Australia
    BETTER ACCESS AUSTRALIA CALLS FOR SENATE INTERVENTION ON OPIATE DEPENDENCE TREATMENT PROGRAM Better Access Australia has written to the Senate Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of Delegated Legislation seeking their urgent intervention to end the financial discrimination for patients accessing opiate dependence medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. “After weeks of inaction on this issue by the Minister of Health the Hon Greg Hunt MP, Better Access Australia is calling on the Parliament to urgently review the legal basis for this continuing discrimination and end the gap in access for some of the most vulnerable in our community. “Why are these the only medicines on the PBS where a patient can be denied their co- payment and safety net protections and be charged unlimited out of pocket expenses on a daily basis at the recommendation of the government? And on what basis is this program denying these patients their legal protections under the National Health Act 1953? “The Government and its advisory committees acknowledge that over 75% of patients accessing these medicines are facing these out-of-pocket costs, and further acknowledge those costs are a barrier to people accessing treatment for their chronic disease. “The time has come to end the arguments about cost-shifting with the states and territories and put the patient at the centre of the system. “The time has also come for the Government and the Parliament to stop and consider whether what they are doing is legal under the National Health Act, legal under the Legislation Act 2003 and legal under the Antidiscrimination Act.

  • Baas Letter to the Senate Standing Committee
    8 March 2021 Senator the Hon Concetta Fierravanti-Wells Senator the Hon Kim Carr Senator Raff Ciccone Senator Perin Davey Senator Nita Green Senator Paul Scarr The Senate Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of Delegated Legislation Australian Parliament House Dear Senators Request for Committee Intervention on Unlawful Exercise of Delegated Powers Better Access Australia was established in September 2020 to advance improvements in health, disability, and social services to achieve better access and continuity of care for all Australians by 2030. We are writing to you in your role as members of the Senate Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of Delegated Legislation to bring to your attention, and seek your action upon, what we believe to be an unlawful exercise of power under the National Health Act 1953 using delegated powers. We also consider that in exercising this delegation the Department of Health has breached anti- discrimination laws in its administration of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). Had the exercise of these delegated powers been subject to the scrutiny of Parliament, which in our opinion is legally required, then this discrimination could have been prevented. We seek your urgent attention to address this matter which is impacting on some of the most vulnerable in the community. Why we believe the current exercise of power is unlawful Subsection 100(1) of the National Health Act 1953 enables the Minister or their delegate to “make special arrangements for, or in relation to, providing that an adequate supply of pharmaceutical benefits will be available to persons.” These arrangements can be made through delegated instruments.

  • A TOOLKIT: How Carers in Victoria Can Advocate for Change
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in Victoria can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in VIC by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In Victoria, Caring Fairly is represented by Carers Victoria, and Tandem Inc. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.
