This review’s purpose was to identify how to make Australia’s welfare system fairer, more effective, coherent and sustainable and encourage people to work.
Overview
The review, which was led by Patrick McClure AO, provides a comprehensive analysis and set of recommendations on simplification of Australia’s welfare system.
It recommends an integrated approach which builds on four pillars of reform:
Simpler and sustainable income support system
Strengthening individual and family capability
Engaging with employers
Building community capacity
The Government will consider the Report’s recommendations and will make further decisions on these as part of a longer term vision of Australia’s welfare system
