Measuring Success

We are proud to have partnered with Reconciliation Australia in the development of our Reconciliation Action Plan.

Job Centre Australia shares Reconciliation Australia’s vision for everyone to wake to a reconciled, just and equitable Australia and we are dedicated to ‘Closing the social, economic and health Gap’ between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, through our training and employment programs which have the unanimous and full support of our Board of Directors.

Our organisation has made a commitment to prepare and find employment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as one of its strategic priorities; especially youth for the future, as articulated in the Job Centre Australia’s 2014-18 strategic plan.

What we do

Job Centre Australia’s Aboriginal Employment Pathway Program (AEPP) is designed to provide culturally appropriate support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to overcome barriers to gaining and maintaining employment. We individually tailor the support required, whether it be training, on the job support or mentoring to help in the transition to employment. Job Centre Australia has Indigenous Engagement Co-ordinators and trainers in NSW and QLD, with approximately 6% of our staff identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

ABORIGINAL EMPLOYMENT PATHWAY PROGRAM

AEPP is our program to help and support Indigenous jobseekers with barriers to employment into suitable, sustainable jobs and traineeships.

CULTURAL AWARENESS TRAINING

Our Cultural Awareness course allows for employers to understand a more complete picture of the situation in Indigenous Australia.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Job Centre Australia actively consults with local Indigenous Communities across our regions. We look to partner with the community to create opportunities for Indigenous job seekers.

INDIGENOUS ADVANCEMENT STRATEGY

The Australian Government has introduced the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS) with the objective of achieving real results in the key priority areas. Job Centre Australia is committed to supporting the IAS.
