Text

Thank you, Minister. Your Department's disability and work strategy sets out a commitment to investigate opportunities in the benefits system and benefit conditionality in order to help to address claimant fear or reluctance to participate in employment activity. While you are assessing what is happening across the water on Right to Try, what more can or will you do as part of the strategy to reassure claimants?
