Need help finding a job or hiring a new staff member in Sydney? jobactive is an Australian government-funded initiative that helps job seekers get employed, and employers recruit a suitable candidate.
With the help of a trusted jobactive provider, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your career or business goals. So let’s get started, and see what the jobactive program is all about.
What is jobactive?
jobactive is an Australian government-funded employment program, delivered through registered jobactive providers. You’ll be referred to jobactive through Centrelink if you’re on an income support payment, and be asked to choose a provider through which to access the program and its benefits.
Is the jobactive program for you?
The jobactive employment program is open to all Centrelink job seekers on income support payments such as Newstart Allowance, Youth Allowance and Parenting Payment. To be eligible for 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.
