jobactive Australia

jobactive is an Australian Government-funded program that helps participants find work through identifying their individual needs and goals, developing employability and industry-specific skills, participating in work experience, finding suitable roles and engaging in ongoing support.

Customers who are receiving an income support payment through Centrelink, such as JobSeeker, Youth Allowance or Parenting Payment, are eligible for the jobactive employment program. To participate in jobactive, customers must also meet mutual obligation requirements.

Customers who aren’t on income support may still be eligible to enrol on a voluntary basis, depending upon their circumstances.

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