Money is the reason we are DYING why is the Government allowing this?

Firstly, to the people who have signed 12,610 we are ones with the need to have this issue fixed.

Government has made it very clear; they feel that they are untouchable.

We still have the Minister Sam Rae patting himself on the back stating he feels “Fairer, faster more accurate” What planet is he on clearly not earth.

Key statistics: deaths while waiting for Funding 2025-2026 - 6436 people an increase of 34%

Awaiting Assessment: around 100,000 older Australians are currently waiting for an initial assessment to determine their eligibility for aged care.

Total waitlist numbers: Close to 107,000 people are waiting for approved Support at Home funding, with a total of roughly 200,000 older Australians caught in the broader waiting and assessment backlog.

Average wait times: People, vulnerable aged are typically endure an average wait for around 10 months to 1 year from the time of applying to actually receiving services they have been assessed as needing.

SO, THIS MINISTER PATS HIMSELF ON THE BACK????

Has the algorithm been stopped being used as a decision maker for Support at Home Aged Care Program?

Current Status: Assessments are still being conducted using the automated system, Algorithm and under the current legislation, human assessors still cannot legally override the algorithm’s final classification outputs for ongoing Support at Home packages.

The Ombudsman Report: A scathing report released in October 2026 by the Commonwealth Ombudsman heavily criticised the algorithm as an UNFAIR “technological black box “and called for Legal Changes to Restore HUMAN OVERRIDE POWERS.

Upcoming Changes: The government has announced an independent expert review of the assessment and prioritisation mechanisms [reporting in early 2027] Additionally, a new case review and escalation pathway is scheduled to take effect in January 2027, allowing the Department of Health to adjust classifications and priority levels in exceptional circumstances.

So: In a nutshell there is nothing changed since the Support at Home Algorithm started just more Canberra Speak till January 2027.

People are still dying each day 17 on average, adding these,  up till January 1 2027 that is a further 867 deaths without anyone changing anything. Or at least stopping the Algorithm that is supporting these deaths at the hands of the Department of Aged Care Support at Home Package.

Please flood the Ministers with letters:
