What is Workforce Australia?
Workforce Australia is the Australian Government’s new employment service that will commence on July 1, 2022—comprising all employment services by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, meaning that the Workforce Australia program you’re likely already familiar with will be replaced with Workforce Australia.
The service will allow PARTICIPANTS to manage their job search through a new online portal. Otherwise, if you’re a job seeker who requires more support to find suitable employment, you will be referred to a Workforce Australia provider for additional assistance who is located closest to you.
What does this mean for Sureway?
From July 1, Sureway Employment & Training will no longer be delivering the Workforce Australia program. Instead, Sureway will be a Workforce Australia provider and support PARTICIPANTS and eligible unemployed people through the following Workforce Australia Services:
- Employment Services
- Transition to Work
- Career Transition Assistance
As a job seeker, what service will be most suitable for me?
All services will help PARTICIPANTS find, apply for, start and keep a job. However, the assistance that they each offer is slightly different. The service that will be most suitable for you will depend on your individual goals, needs and preference, considering things like your skillset, work experience, age and location.
Does this affect Disability Employment Services?
Workforce Australia will be a service delivered by the Department of Education, Skills and Employment. Disability Employment Services is a service delivered by the Department of Social Services. Because different departments provide these services, Workforce Australia will not impact Disability Employment Services.
