Review of job seeker compliance system tabled in Parliament 

The Minister for Employment Participation and Child Care, Kate Ellis has welcomed an independent review of Australia's compliance arrangements for job seekers.

The 2009 Social Security Legislation Amendment (Employment Services Reform) Act brought in new compliance rules for unemployed people receiving income support. At the request of Parliament, the Act required the changes be reviewed after their first year of operation.

The impact of the legislation was examined by an independent panel, chaired by social welfare expert Prof Julian Disney AO, who was supported by former senior public servant Mr Peter Grant PSM and company director Ms Anna Buduls.
