Abstract

The landscape of social care provision and employment in Australia is fundamentally changing due to the establishment of a cash-for-care individualised market for social care consumers of disability support and care services. In a largely unregulated publicly-managed and funded market, a growing number and diversity of for-profit service providers and co-ordinators, labour and care brokers and Uber-style digital care platforms are re-shaping social care provision and work. Frontline workers are employed in more casualised and insecure jobs. Self-employed contracting and direct employment arrangements are placing workers on the margins or beyond the boundaries of labour laws.
