Working with money

How do I handle ethical dilemmas about a family's money choices?

Being aware of the details of a family’s finances may present some ethical challenges. Here are some examples:

  • Knowing that someone is claiming Centrelink payments to which they are not entitled

  • Realising that someone has claimed material aid from two different agencies, neither of which is aware of the involvement of the other

  • Finding out that someone is underestimating their income to reduce child support obligations.
