Abstract

This chapter on the Australian welfare state system by Philip Mendes first introduces the columns of the Australian welfare state and its historical development, and then focuses on the special issue of welfare conditionality and the particular case of the income management system. Mendes opens up an in-depth perspective on the inner workings of the Australian welfare state and its subsystems (and key programs). The story of social policy in Australia, since the mid-1980s, has been a story of the creation of neoliberalism within the realm of social policy and the rise of resistance to neoliberalism. Australia, by and large, is an archetypical model country of neoliberal welfare systems; therefore, the lessons of this chapter are of particularly high value for all social policy analysts and experts around the world.
