'Why don’t you just say this is about saving money?' State officials briefed on controversial NDIS budget algorithm are not happy as it seeks to copy and catastrophic aged care tool which the ombudsman just thoroughly trashed in a report. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

Labor condemned Robodebt. Why is it repeating the mistakes in aged care?
The Ombudsman has found serious failures in automated aged-care assessments. Labor promised to learn from Robodebt, yet human judgement remains sidelined when decisions affect older Australians' care.

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists.
