Victoria Legal Aid Annual Report 2019-20

In February 2019, we filed the first legal challenge to the robo-debt scheme on behalf of our client, nurse Madeleine Masterton. After Centrelink waived her debt fully, we filed a second case on behalf of local government worker Deanna Amato. Deanna only found out about her robo-debt when her full tax refund of $1710 was taken. ................
