To that end, the bill as reported back contains two changes, which I support. These are, firstly, the addition of clause 11A to insert new section 9A into the principal Act—this would apply to any client who receives individual funding for mental health or addiction services and who directly employs a care worker to provide these services; it would require them to pay the worker at least the minimum rates mandated in the relevant settlement agreement and the principal Act—and, second, to amend the Schedule to insert a new clause 2A into Schedule 1 of the principal Act. This would require individually funded clients to provide back-pay to their directly employed workers if they had been paid less than the minimum rates between 1 July 2017 and the date on which this bill is enacted. Both these changes ensure that protections are available for directly employed workers through individualised funding arrangements.
