This FOI release concerns ministerial correspondence MC24-005915, raised by Senator Katy Gallagher on behalf of Future Fit Collective, a coalition of Meals on Wheels services developing the open-source aged care software Open Care Tech. The collective alleged that a subcontractor of Miles Morgan Australia was claiming intellectual property rights over software built under the government-funded Future Fit reform program. The Department of Health and Aged Care's 5 June 2024 reply, from First Assistant Secretary Thea Connolly, said the department was still investigating conflicting IP ownership claims and posed eight questions on vendor relationships, software differences, privacy, and CRM value. The release also includes PDMS workflow notifications, timeliness statistics, and draft departmental replies from April to July 2024. No drugs, vaccines, TGA assessments or clinical data appear in the excerpted pages.
