13 13 What are the mechanisms? ½ money quarantined from alcohol and tobacco Basics card as commitment device? For food Circuit breaker on obligations Low cost banking Knowledge of financial position? Interview with Centrelink on allocations Referral to money management training Ability to gain exemption as incentive Habitualisation vs stabilisation

17 17 NIM Child protection and vulnerable Child protection: Financial management not seen as key issue Not worth going from 50-70% Risk of rupture of relationship Vulnerable Very small potentially squeezed out? 97% Indigenous Government has made policy response
18 BasicsCard Mixed responses in part related to location More positive in remote and negative in urban Issue of security cited by many In remote free banking service But could do more re balance checking Cost was high if using mobiles In urban lack of acceptance of cards especially markets Difficulty in making some large payments Has not eliminated gambling etc. 18
19 19 Money management Money management/financial counselling appears to be valued Immediate demand though is for short-term assistance Approved money management courses and matched savings not successful Very low take-up Not well pitched Centrelink staff did not see value in referring
