More than a dozen academics, business leaders and social groups will work on a new government taskforce to review welfare payment rates before each budget, and issues for unemployed and disadvantaged Australians.
The Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee will meet for the first time on Friday. It will be chaired by former Labor MP and community services minister Jenny Macklin. On the board are familiar faces including trade union chief Sally McManus, Business Council boss Jennifer Westacott, and Australian Council of Social Services CEO Cassandra Goldie; academics including Dr Angela Jackson, Prof Peter Whiteford and Prof Ben Phillips; and representatives of the Brotherhood of St Laurence, the Marninwarntikura Women’s Resource Centre, and Leah Van Poppel, chair of Victorian NDIS Community Advisory.
Its primary functions will be to provide advice on economic inclusion including policy settings, systems and structures, and the adequacy, effectiveness and sustainability of income support payments ahead of every Federal Budget.
The committee will also look at options to reduce barriers and disincentives to work, including in relation to social security and employment services. Further, it will explore options for tailored responses to address barriers to economic inclusion for long term unemployed and disadvantaged groups, including place-based approaches at the local level.
