Job Seeker Compliance Public Data - March Quarter 2017

Created:

The Department of Employment publishes quarterly reports on a range of job seeker compliance data.

Quarterly compliance data has been available on the department’s website since 2006. The data relates to those job seekers on activity tested income support payments for the relevant quarter, and many of the indicators are broken down by categories such as age, gender, payment type, indigeneity and employment service programme - i.e. jobactive, Disability Employment Services (DES) and the Community Development Programme (CDP).

The data includes a range of statistics on job seeker attendance at appointments with employment services providers, income support payment suspensions, the number and type of non-compliance reported and the number of participation failures and financial penalties applied.

The Australian Recruitment Industry accessible version August 2016 final

Created:

KPMG Australia was commissioned by the Department in early 2016 to develop a profile of the Australian recruitment industry. The aim of the project was to develop a profile of the Australian recruitment industry, with a particular focus on the commercial sector and a comparison of service delivery with public employment services. The report considers the structure and development of the industry, the market focus of the different sectors and their performance. Differences are highlighted between the sectors, notably in client base, business cycles and processes.
