BCCM submission to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet on the development of a National Care and Support Economy Strategy.

International and local experience demonstrates the significant potential for co-operative and mutuals to support people-centred care while providing quality work. The BCCM would therefore welcome further discussion with the Government on the role the co-operative movement can play in the Strategy, building on existing Commonwealth policy support for social care co-operatives and mutuals through the Care Together Program.

Jurisdiction: Australian Government

Committee: Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet

Submission date: 26 June 2023
