Review of Employment Services

11 Mar 2024 5:07 PM | Robyn Broadbent (Administrator)

Julian Hill led a parliamentary committee that reviewed the employment services.  What a breath of fresh air  where  he acknowledges that the system has let vulnerable job seekers down.  It is a system that doesn't work for vulnerable people and acknowledges there are many that face barriers to work that is never acknowledged.  He admitted government needed to have skin in the game.  Per Capita had Julian speak at the monthly John Cain lunch.  Most importantly he said only public servants should have the power to breach a person of their income.  A system that ACOSS says is a major contributor to the 1.2 million children and young people  who live in poverty.  You can listen to it
