On 11 May 2021 the Government announced it will deliver a New Employment Services Model (new model) replacing jobactive from July 2022.
The new model will introduce two pathways of support for job seekers – Digital Services and Enhanced Services. Job-ready job seekers will be able to self-manage finding employment through Digital Services. Job seekers needing tailored and intensive case management, will receive support from Enhanced Services providers.
The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) assessed the Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) prepared by the Department of Education, Skills, and Employment as adequate to meet the Australian Government’s RIS requirements. To be consistent with good practice, the RIS would have provided further depth of analysis of the broader impacts of the options on businesses and individuals, including jobseekers, providers and employers.
