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.
