Joblink Plus is a not-for-profit registered charity, dedicated to building a better future for the community in which we live.
From July 1, Joblink Plus will begin to deliver the Australian Government's Job Services Australia.
The “Job Services Australia” Initiative
The new employment services initiative called ‘Job Services Australia’ combines seven separate previous employment programs into a ‘one-stop-shop', to improve the needs of job seekers and employers.
The 'Job Services Australia' initiative will provide job seekers with more personalised help, better targeted services and greater access to training opportunities and work experience in areas of skills needs.
The initiative will also provide more help for employers to find skilled workers.
