Committed community approach recognised for Joblink Plus

Joblink Plus, a for-purpose, not-for-profit organisation will continue to deliver employment and training support services to more than 100 communities across New South Wales.

As part of the Workforce Australia suite of programs tender results announced by the Federal Government, Joblink Plus will deliver services to 80 communities across four Employment Regions resulting in a Workforce Australia active caseload increase of 20%.

Joblink Plus CEO Christine Shewry welcomed the announcement as an opportunity to reaffirm and further its commitment to ‘Close the Gap’ for Indigenous Australians and work alongside grassroots community organisations.  

“With the Workforce Australia announcement comes an enormous responsibility we are well prepared for. The Joblink Plus team of community-focused local consultants are representative of the people we serve, with around 30% of staff identifying as Indigenous.

“As an organisation, we consider all decisions, commitments and strategies through the frameworks of Trauma Informed Practice, Ethics and Reconciliation” Ms Shewry said.

Joblink Plus Board Chair David Green recognised the work of the Joblink Plus team in relation to the Workforce Australia tender results.

“Joblink Plus’ long-standing and experienced leadership team and dedicated frontline staff are committed to ongoing and expanding delivery of meaningful outcomes for local individuals, families and communities” Mr Green said.

From 1 July 2022 at commencement of the new Workforce Australia contract, Joblink Plus will continue to strive for excellence in the delivery of training and education leading to sustainable employment for Indigenous communities, the long term unemployed, young people and parents. In addition, Joblink Plus is proud to deliver Disability Employment Services and National Disability Insurance Scheme services.
