Show Notes
Graham Crossan, an eighty-year-old Melbourne man with advanced motor neurone disease, faces a severe reduction in home care funding due to a new government algorithm. This change, part of federal reforms, has cut his weekly carer hours from fourteen to just nine and a half, leaving him and his seventy-nine-year-old wife Gaynor struggling to cope. Advocacy groups report a surge in similar complaints, with experts decrying the algorithms inadequacy for complex cases. The government pledges to refine the process, but advocates urge immediate action, especially for progressive conditions.
