The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) audit report on the Establishment of the Workforce Australia Services Panel has been tabled in Parliament.
In July 2022 the ANAO commenced an audit to determine whether the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations had established Workforce Australia Services in line with policy objectives and whether its procurement was effective and consistent with achieving value for money.
Overall, the ANAO found the procurement and establishment of Workforce Australia Services was ‘largely effective’. It also identified areas where the department could improve and has made three recommendations.
The department acknowledges the findings from the ANAO which will inform the way the department implements future government policies, including as a result of the Employment White paper and the Select Committee on Workforce Australia Employment Services.
A copy of the report is available on the ANAO’s website at the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) page Reports and publications.
