Jobseeker services to get first overhaul in 30 years
Australia's jobseeker services will undergo their first major overhaul in 30 years to better assist long-term unemployed individuals. The federal government plans to implement a three-stream system that categorizes jobseekers based on their employment status and barriers to work. This change aims to provide tailored support and improve outcomes for over one million Australians accessing these services annually.
- ▪The current one-size-fits-all jobseeker system will be replaced by three distinct streams.
- ▪These streams will help differentiate between newly unemployed individuals and those who have been out of work for longer periods.
- ▪The overhaul is a response to criticisms that the existing system fails to adequately support disadvantaged jobseekers.
