Workforce Australia is a national support service to help you find a job
If you’re out of work, you'll be connected with Workforce Australia when you apply for income support via Centrelink.
There are two main types of support:
- Workforce Australia Services with a local provider such as APM Employment Services for people who need personalised support.
- Workforce Australia Online for people who can self-manage their job search.
What is Workforce Australia?
Workforce Australia is open to anyone who is unemployed and claiming income support payments.
There are several support programs delivered by Workforce Australia providers in regions across the country.
If you can self-manage your job search, a new website has been launched to assist you in finding employment and reporting your mutual obligations.
If you require more support, or want in-person assistance, you can ask to join a Workforce Australia provider such as APM Employment Services.
This enhanced support is called Workforce Australia Services and includes assistance with a dedicated employment consultant.
They will meet with you regularly and help you get job-ready, access relevant skills training, and help you meet potential employers looking to hire local people.
