  • Medicare Levy Surcharge Thresholds
    Coalition Senators' dissenting report Introduction Coalition Senators oppose the Government's proposal to increase the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) thresholds. At a time when the number of people in private health insurance has never been higher, the Government's proposal to increase MLS thresholds from $50,000 to $100,000 for singles, and from $100,000 to $150,000 for couples and families risks undoing a decade of careful policies that rescued private health from a catastrophic downward membership spiral. This could ultimately threaten the on-going viability of the entire health system, and in particular could jeopardise Australia's unique system of "Community Rating", under which there is no risk assessment for the provision of health insurance. By the late 1990s private health insurance membership had collapsed to around 30 per cent of the Australian population; in the June 2008 quarter it was 44.7 per cent. What became clear during this inquiry and the Senate Estimates process was that the Rudd Government has not properly thought through the flow-on implications of this measure. The Government's assessment was limited to the direct (first round) impact on its revenue and expenditure. Based on the evidence received by the Committee, the Government clearly did not require, neither Treasury nor the Department of Health and Ageing to conduct a proper assessment of the overall impact of this measure on the Australian health system. The consequences for the private health sector – not just private health insurance but the providers they fund – and the public hospital system that will have to deal with the needs of people who leave private health, were completely ignored.

  • Intework Annual Report 2015.Pdf
    Dr William Glasser, the founder of Choice Theory, said that we are driven by our genes to satisfy five basic needs, the most important of which (in practice) is love and belonging, as closeness and connectedness with people is a requisite for satisfying the remaining needs; survival, power, freedom and fun. We believe we offer all five of these needs at Intework - we give participants the power and freedom to determine their own program, which can often be challenging but fun, and offer them a sense of security and personal safety as they learn to develop their skills. All of these contribute to a greater sense of belonging, both to an organisation that empowers people to achieve their aspirations and goals, and to the community as a whole. The advantages of flocking are great enough that many different types of birds assemble in groups for different reasons. From a roaming band of foraging finches to a stupendous migrating flock of geese, flocks of birds can be an amazing sight to enjoy. These flocks are important for a birds survival and belonging to a family. 02 04 06 Who We Are Our Philosophy The Board and Focus of Directors 14 12 08 Organisation Volunteers and CEO Report Structure Life Members 16 18 24 Our Services Lifeskills Plus Employment Service Snapshot Service Report Report - DES 32 26 Training and Employment Development Service Service Report Report - ADE 33 36 44 A Year In Review Corporate Financial Services Report Report 1 Who We Are, Our Vision, Purpose and Values Intework 2 Who We Are, Our Vision, Purpose and Values Intework Who We Are At Intework, we recognise each person as an individual with different needs, and because of this we deliver flexible, holistic and unique programs, achieving the best fit for people with disabilities to realise their potential.
