>One of the groups of people using these apps are the disabled
No they aren't, certainly not on a large scale.
I know and have known a LOT of disabled people (as well as "disabled" people) in my life.
I think there is very little overlap between
a) the population of disabled people and
b) the population of people who have enough money they can afford the cost of restaurant food + delivery fees + tip on more than a very occasional basis.
It's exactly the opposite from what I've seen. I've seen the disabled people in my life get grocery delivery (with informal arrangements before apps existed). I've seen them get bulk frozen food delivery. I've literally never seen someone who is homebound order delivery food. They can't afford it.
How do you afford food delivery on disability? Does a family member pay for it for you?
Maybe Australia is different but here in the US people on disability only have a few hundred bucks to spend on food a month aT MOST. A single delivery meal is a quarter of that.
I wasn't saying anything about you, I was talking about people I know. Disabled people, as a group, simply don't usually have nearly enough money for food delivery.
NDIS is a government organisation. That means they're the one paying, when they're the ones running the program...? The income of the individual doesn't matter - their disabled status does.
