Book Description
A total of 3,732 recipients of Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC) allowances during 1979 and 1980 received questionnaires and parents of 313 families were interviewed to determine who benefitted from the AIC Scheme, what use was made of the AIC allowance, what effect did the AIC Scheme appear to have had, and what anomalies existed in relation to participants and benefits under the scheme. "Rural dwellers" were families in Western Australia and Queensland while metropolitan Perth/Sydney respondants represented families with "handicapped" children. Queensland AIC recipients were younger, more mobile, and more isolated than their Western Australian counterparts. Such variations emphasize the difficulties of mounting a national scheme which has uniform benefits and yet achieves its basic equalisation of opportunity intentions. Costs are high for those children who must live away from home for educational purposes, and the AIC Scheme has deteriorated in its capacity to assist with meeting those costs. Ultimately a separate scheme of assistance should be created for children with disabilities, but in the interim the existing categories should be provided for in the AIC Scheme at the revised levels of benefits recommended for the geographically isolated. Seventeen other recommendations and five appendixes conclude the document. (BRR)

Book Description
'Seldom has a senior public servant been so candid. As a key policymaker, Meredith Edwards takes us inside the process to reveal how we get the policies the affect so much of our lives.' - Paul Kelly, International Editor, The Australian 'This innovative and important volume, unique in the policy literature, provides ideas and case studies of interest to everyone who cares about the quality of Australian public policy. It will be an indispensable guide to past choices, and its lessons should help shape future Australian social policy decisions.' - Dr Glyn Davis, co-author of The Australian Policy Handbook How are social policies conceived, developed and put into practice? Based on four case studies of social policy reforms in which the author was a major player (the Child Support Scheme, AUSTUDY, the Higher Education Contribution scheme (HECS) and long-term employment policies presented as 'Working Nation') Social Policy, Public Policy provides insights into what is often otherwise seen as a 'black box' on how policy advice occurs. Meredith Edwards' personal experience, revealed in extracts from her journal, provides a picture of what social policy participants actually do, something on which too little has been written. Questions addressed in the book include: How was the policy problem identified and articulated and by whom? What were the key ingredients in policy analysis? When did consultation occur and in what form? How was the policy decision arrived at? What were the events between decision and implementation? And what evaluation processes occurred? Social Policy, Public Policy is essential reading for all students of public policy and policy advisers.
