Just a heads up that from 1/8/24 it’ll cost $105 instead of $80.

Except that it's a state charge, so in this case your cheap shot missed.
And 45% of that revenue goes back to the State. Not bad for the very obvious. O wait, you have to make sure you pay for the NDIS clearance too, and Police clearance. Will not be suprised next time if they asked clearance for my bench press max weight.
I'd say your train of thought derailed here, but I'm not entirely sure it was on the tracks in the first place.
it was on the tracks in the first place.
Well they do work for an NDIS provider, or worse still, is an NDIS provider
In WA - $87.00 - for employees and self-employed people. $11.00 - for volunteers, unpaid people, students on unpaid placement and for a replacement card.
I don't know if it's the same in other states. But consider getting the card as a volunteer (footy team/church/child care?).
But in NSW, a Volunteer WWC Number can be used for a volunteer role but cannot be used for a paid role. Probably the same in other states.My daughter wants to start as a teaching aide. She’ll need the paid check here in nsw.
$114+ in SA 🤷♀️
😮
It is both WWC and NDISWC that are getting increased to $105 in NSW.
TL:DR for the TikTok generation… Governments squeeze captive small audiences for usury fees to keep the larger populace placated with bread and circuses.
It is much easier to squeeze a small proportion of the population out of increased charges that go beyond the cost of implementing the scheme(remember when you rates covered everything, and then it became user pays cost recovery, then it became user pays profit centre) than put a large percentage of the population off-side with increased charges.
I have seen it happening for more than a decade, especially when there is only one possible provider for required licenses or clearances. Complaining to the relevant minister gets the usual, "We're conducting a review of all charges, and we will publish those changes in due course."
The only time we get some of our tax money back is at election time, as a sweetener (bribe). Once Government gets control of their money (as much as they can siphon from you), they aren't giving it back, and they aren't spending it wisely. Remember when the GST was supposed to eliminate state stamp duties and payroll taxes?
Let's be honest here. You aren't anti-user pays, you're anti any tax at all unless it pays exclusively for your personal preferred government spending priorities.
Also, yeah. Taxes aren't for giving back to people, they are for paying for government services. Go figure.
The GST was never meant to eliminate all stamp duties and payroll taxes, just wholesale sales tax; Financial Institutions Duty; debits tax; stamp duty on marketable securities; conveyancing duties on business property; stamp duties on credit arrangements, instalment purchase arrangements and rental (hiring) agreements; stamp duties on leases; stamp duties on mortgages, bonds, debentures and other loan securities; stamp duties on cheques, bills of exchange and promissory notes; and ‘bed taxes’.
