Description

This repository contains a reform paper and supplementary implementation materials addressing structural safeguards, workforce capability, and decision integrity in services affecting vulnerable people, particularly those with decision-making impairment and complex support needs.

This version expands the repository to include additional PDFs circulated to Attorneys-General in Australia concerning:

  • IDC workforce standard design
  • DSC independent neutral role
  • Two-Key decision safeguards
  • trial / switch-on pathways
  • conservative ROI and implementation logic

The repository should be read as both a core reform paper and a supplementary policy-operational pack for practical field testing, routing, and administrative consideration.
