jobactive Australia

jobactive is an Australian government-funded employment program, delivered through registered jobactive providers, such as MTC Australia. You’ll be referred to jobactive through Centrelink if you’re on an income support payment, and be asked to choose a provider to help you on your path the employment.

If you’re on an income support payment through Centrelink, such as JobSeeker, Youth Allowance or Parenting Payment, then you are eligible for the the jobactive employment program. To participate in jobactive, job seekers must also meet mutual obligation requirements.

Job seekers who aren’t on income support may still be eligible to enrol as a volunteer job seeker, depending upon their circumstances.

All employers who are interested in hiring through jobactive are able to kickstart the process by contacting a program provider in their area. Take a look at our jobactive employers page if you’re interested in hiring.
