Background

The job plan can include:

To help you get and keep a job, your jobactive provider can access funding to pay for work-related items, relevant training and support after you start a new job. For eligible automotive workers, this fund includes a $1300 credit for jobactive providers to use.
Your provider can also connect you to a range of other government initiatives. These include relocation assistance, wage subsidies, training, apprenticeships and help to start a business through the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS).
