SOCIAL POLICY AND ENTITLEMENTS
With strengths in: benefits,
pensions and welfare issues, child support, education
issues and veterans’ issues.
We understand the importance of the Australian Government’s
social policy initiatives for Australians and are familiar
with the legislative framework under which they are
implemented. We understand the broader government policy
and administrative context of these initiatives.
The Australian Government’s social responsibility
includes developing and implementing a wide range of
pensions, benefits and services under the social security
law, the family assistance law and the Veterans’ Entitlements
Act 1986. Examples include Age Pension,
Newstart Allowance, Family Tax Benefit and Service Pension.
As a specialist government legal adviser across every
portfolio, AGS has a wealth of experience on policy
development and service delivery issues.
A number of our clients have significant social
policy and service delivery obligations. We work regularly
with clients such as the Department of Health and Ageing,
the Department of Education, Science and Training, and
the Department of Family and Community Services.
