Would I get anything if I showed a companion card or any other proof that I'm disabled to any of the amps?

That is the right way, encouraging, reducing dependency, cultivating skills. I am aware not every person with disability can do it. But you certainly have helped much more that way. Kudos

Thank you Bigdy the Kudos too goes to companies who invest in people with disabilities forwarding the time, training, recourses and patience needed to integrate into their workplace.

A lot of complaining about shortage of willing workers but a very little untapped recourse in people with disabilities along with seniors keen to get into work to contribute to society.

There is a very small percentage that 'milk' the system

This is so true. A couple I work for and paid from NDIS. They own 4 houses and drive a fairly new Porsche and Mercedes. One house is used when they have guests. It's empty the rest of the time. The NDIS participant runs an interior design business from home. The husband is high up in the armed forces and travels between Adelaide and Canberra. Plus head of a lobbyist company. NDIS funding is paying to have their house cleaned for 4 hours each week at $50.23 an hour plus a Gardner

NDIS funding is not means-tested. I personally know of a lady who owns a 1.2 million dollar West Lakes home and has funding of $89k a year for her child. Buys a brand new car every 2 years and several cruises each year. There is also the issue of service providers milking the system. I personally have 2 special needs children and choose to work and pay for their therapy than using NDIS. The sad reality is this funding won't last forever. If you can afford to pay for it without causing you financial distress. I respect that others may not feel this way. I was shocked at how few checks are done on service providers too. Not enough is done to protect the vulnerable

I'd be more worried about the taxpayers money being spent for hotels and such to do their sexual escapades with their squeeze by politicans than ordinary citizens. They're there to work, not fuck..oh wait...does that also mean they fuck us too with taxes lol

Perhaps that question should be put to the politition Craig Thompson who was caught using the union credit card for sexual services there is a famous American reglious leader as well can't Rember his name.

 

[Matt787]

It's a service that is essential, there's a thing called human needs and that service is fullfilling that. How it's funded should not be plastered across newspapers like it's a crime. Focus on corrupt politicians and local, state, fed govt agencies instead...that's a crime.

Yes, I think it's an invention called the door. I thought companion cards were things entitling you to free travel on things like public transport? No?​

The answer I gave above in post #12 is still correct.

There is a misconception of what the Companion Card is for. It provides free access for the Support Worker of the disabled person. The disabled person still pays for access.

The Support Worker is paid to provide for the care of the disabled person by the NDIS.
