abstract: 'Income support for carers has been available in Australia since the
early 1980s. In contrast to most other forms of income support,
eligibility for Carer Payment has been progressively expanded in recent
years, and increasing numbers of carers are claiming the payment as a
result. This article examines the history of income support for carers
by reviewing changes in eligibility criteria in the social security
legislation and considering how those changes were framed. We argue that
reforms to carers'' income support have developed within competing frames
of social justice and social investment, with an increasing emphasis on
a social investment discourse, which prioritises paid work over care.
Neither of the dominant frames addresses gender equality, and in
practice, income support policy has reinforced familial (women''s)
responsibility for caring. Given the gendered nature of caring in
Australia, gender equality issues must be considered in future policy
reforms to ensure that the competing pressures on women to care and to
engage in paid work do not lead to greater disadvantage and inequality
for women and the people for whom they care.'
