its all a big scam
money for pen pushers and administrators and grifters
no different to the job network
Perfect - just perfect! You've got it!!
Cost per hour to 'provider' - $65-120+ - payment to worker - $28 .... balance $37-92+ for 'management' by someone working from home and copping all the cons, with virtually zero management or business skills far too often, and a constitutional inability to get off their own arse and actually fill in when work is required.
Such 'businesses' - unless they are politician's wives' businesses etc and are biggies like early childcare was when reaping millions for some UNNAMEDS - partner and self-made millionaire via inside trading - very often go bust because the 'managers' simply cannot manage.
The turnover is enormous... and you would think that an average of about $75-80 an hour to sit at home and Fat Control would be enough to keep Thomas on the boiler... but not this lot..... they go out backwards all the time and offend staff constantly ... no management skills, you see ....
Once again In Australia (Once Upon A Time In Australia?) - the totally wrong approach goes off the rails.....

ADDS:- Oh - and now the putsch is on from Plug Ugly for 9% pay rise for 'early childcare educators' - there goes the childcare over-subsidies just pushed through... same deal, of course, most goes to the 'management' though I'd say their overheads in REAL childcare are higher than NDIS.
Mind you the costs of institutional care for disabled are high - remember that hospital and the hire car. I had it lined up to go home on the bus and be picked up at the stop - we're Aussie blokes after all - they said NO WAY!! You've just been cut wide open and it'll take months to heal !!!
I can see the potential for rorts though, when the 'boss of 'home care' cops a nice little earner for just adding a semi-deaf rich lady to the list....
