Consultation schedule
Community consultation
The Department of Social Services (the department) is visiting a number of communities to hear from people about:
- what you like or don’t like about an Income Management card and its features
- what information and education do people need if Income Management is no longer compulsory
- how people can be best supported if there are future changes to Income Management.
To see when the department is visiting a community, see the consultation schedule below.
