The Anatomy of a Bureaucratic Murder
How APM Employment Services Systematically Destroyed My Career Through Fraudulent Documentation
The Smoking Gun
Exhibit A: The Big Lie
FACT: I HAD access to a vehicle at the time of assessment
This single lie reduced my assessed work capacity from potential full-time to just 8-14 hours per week.
The Geographic Impossibility
| What Should Happen | What Actually Happened |
|---|---|
| Box Hill (Melbourne) client assessed by local office | Assessed by someone in ARARAT - 200km away |
| Face-to-face assessment with client | "File Assessment" - never saw or spoke to me |
| Verify basic facts like vehicle access | Made up false information |
| Client advised of information sharing | "No" - Privacy rights violated |
The Copy-Paste Cascade of Discrimination
Legitimate medical assessment during difficult period
• False claim about vehicle access
• Assessment by someone 200km away
• No client contact
• Reduces work capacity to 8-14 hours
Now assessed as "unable to engage in ANY form of gainful employment"
• Despite 20+ years work history
• Despite living independently
• Despite having education and skills
What They Don't Want You to Know
My Actual Work History (Conveniently Ignored)
- 10 years as international roadie (up to 15 hours/week)
- 10 years in telemarketing (40 hours/week)
- Experience in abattoir work
- Fruit picking experience
- Completed Year 12 education
- 3/4 of a Bachelor of Arts degree
- Completed carer's course
Total: Over 20 years of employment history ERASED
The Professional "Confusion"
Which is it? Are they a Social Worker or a Qualified Social Worker? This redundant listing raises serious questions about the assessor's actual credentials.
Follow the Money
The Financial Control Pattern
- They still owe me $100 from a previous CRS complaint
- They block my services instead of addressing barriers
- They force me into lower benefit categories through false assessments
- Doctors charge for Centrelink forms while perpetuating the discrimination
The Legal Implications
| Criminal Code Violations | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Section 137.1 - False or misleading information | False claim about vehicle access in government document |
| Section 144.1 - Forgery | Assessment conducted without seeing client |
| Disability Discrimination Act 1992 | Using mental health to restrict employment |
| Privacy Act 1988 | Information sharing without consent |
The Pattern Exposed
How the System Works
- Create False Information: "No vehicle access"
- Use Geography to Hide: Assess from 200km away
- Never Verify: Don't contact the client
- Copy-Paste Stigma: Each report builds on previous lies
- Escalate Restrictions: From 8-14 hours to "unable to work"
- Block Corrections: Deny services to those who complain
