But I did think that it was an interesting place to start the discussion, which is... 300 bucks for a 40-hour workweek.
Yeah, like those who are accessing it already are pointing to the fact that perhaps it's not even touching the surface of what is needed and the financial realities that they are facing as students working these incredible hours for, as we heard from Jemima, sometimes $8 an hour.
Well, I mean, if the starting point is zero dollars, it is an improvement on that.
And for until now or until rather last year, July last year,
that you were getting compensated nothing for this.
It was seen, you know, just as I think society has moved on from the idea of unpaid internships and that that was all the rage when we were at uni.
I don't think that flies necessarily in the way that it did.
There you go.
And I think that like societally we are moving forward to a place where you cannot expect...
It sounds ridiculous to have to say out loud, but you cannot expect free labour.
But when it counts for credit and when it's part of a degree, I think that is still where there is murkiness and certainly what the government has tried to address with their announcements yesterday.
No, no, please don't.
No, well.
We will get in trouble.
But, I mean, that is interesting.
We get so many messages like that because as we kind of started at the top here, there are media degrees that require placements and, you know, something that's what we're trying to work on internally is can we have a program where we can have people
students come in and get their placement here but you know not sure we're quite there yet in the development of TDA's journey but we're talking here about hospitals and you know healthcare settings that have been doing this since the beginning of time.
So, Elliot, before we just jumped to that break, we were talking about Jemima, who obviously has been able to access the scheme, says it doesn't go far enough and told us a bit about her experience.
But the reason that we are talking about this today is because until now there have been a bunch of other allied health courses that haven't been included in this scheme and thousands and thousands of students who haven't been able to access even a cent of this program have
I wanted to play a voice note from Ellie, who is studying clinical psychology, because she told us what it's been like to not be able to access any of this government funding during her unpaid placements.
