Warning – not for the faint-hearted! It would be interesting to know what the elder’s thoughts were on the child being considered indigenous. At university for example, you might be able to get into a course with a worse score than everyone else.
Of course, she'll still have to pay HECS. It does however mean they would get more cultural understanding when it comes to their benefits. As far as I know, everyone is entitled to the same payments. Edited by happy*mum, 20 August 2007 - 06:02 PM. I don't understand this sort of privilege but it is an example there are extra 'privileges'.
The council said they would look into it and that was the last I heard from them so when I was at the RSPCA, I asked the officer if he'd been informed. The criteria keeps changing but others I have known of are being first child to do year 12 whose parents who did not complete year 12, being in a rural area, doing subjects externally etc.This is not a monetary 'extra' for lack of better wording but when my now 22 year old was a child there was a neighbours dog whom would always get out and attack people. I guess because they have never perceived themselves as aboriginal throughout their lives, they have no connection with the aboriginal community, and they haven't experienced any of the disadvantage or discrimination that often comes with being part of the aboriginal community. A good friend of mine was accepted into a Commerce degree having not completed year 11. To me these benifits should go to people what ever colour they are who actually need it. It's easy!I misremembered but I was sure that links to the land was a criteria. What payments are we referring to? They should be ashamed. : So my SIL just got her LO verified as an Aboriginal for Centrelink payments. This is because of the complex health needs of Aboriginal people who have a disproportionate risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, renal disease etc.
They have taken a DNA test to confirm but they all agree, apart from my husband, that if the test shows that they do,they will all now tick the aboriginal box on all Medicare, centre link forms etc to claim and recieve extra benefits. Download and complete the Confirmation of Identity - Verification for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people form. She did a 3-month Pathways programme and went straight into first year commerce the following year. From what i understand, they find people who just want more money as annoying as the rest. And Australian Aborigines are the same, People who claim this far down the line just for money and not wanting to learn about their heritage have no idea of the sacrifices their ancestors made and the hate they received when lands and history were changed, taken and destroyed. (like the complex educational needs of a disadvantaged minority - there are similar grants if you have high number of other disadvantaged groups too, eg children with ESL) Child is as white as white can be, as are parents. I may be wrong, but this is my understanding from some professional development I completed last year.
I volunteered at the RSPCA at that time as well. Child is as white as white can be, as are parents. And it's not free TAFE or uni study. But as far as just walzing into centrelink and ticking a box, and then getting more money, no thats not going to happen!There was an excellent episode of Insight last year discussing this topic. And why is it immoral?I misremembered but I was sure that links to the land was a criteria. Now to me this is so wrong, I see it as fraud actually and as totally unfair. My girl was one of them. I wondered at the time if they didn't do this because of the can of worms it would open.My husband found out he has aboriginal heritage a few years ago and was accepted by his ancestors as having been lost. His x wife however does claim it for there son so she is bulk billed and gets free scripts for him which I think is wrong as she is rather well off and doesn't need it.My mother recently finished our family tree (as much as you can finish
Do you know which company they are going through?
I dont think elders are partial to just giving out letters to random people who show a dna test either. Might I add this great great aunt is not blood related, was adopted into family.
Welcome to D&D, a group for debating and discussing all sorts of topics. People don't need to have the requisite HSC scores. I'll take you up on that bet, considering Australia's past immigration history, it wouldn't be anywhere close to 50%. It discussed clearly the process that people has to go through to be identified as Aboriginal.when I inquired (a couple of years ago) about a DNA test I was told they didn't have a test for this. I thought it was more for stats. Most of the benefits aren't cash but there are benefits but they only try to level the playing field.You need to be a member in order to leave a commentSign up for a new account in our community. 1997-2020 All rights reserved. Maybe they relaxed that one in light of dispossession.Abstudy? Nobody gets that.
Indian Affairs and other federal agencies have special programs to serve the American native population. : My husbands family has just found out they may have 1/16th of aboriginal descendent … I'd bet that there would be at least 50% of australians who would have some degree of aboriginal blood.

For the Aboriginal person themselves, it is not as simple as just getting free scripts wherever you go - you can only register at one practice , ie the point is to foster ongoing regular care with one provider, not just to have a nice freebie. He told me he knew the exact dog I was talking about and that he couldn't seize the dog because it had an indigenous owner and they have different 'rights'. Please always keep the She has mentioned that there is no real benefit and there is a stigma attached to it.
