The Federal Government has announced it is extending consultations to find the ‘ultimate model for the future of job services in Australia’.

Minister for Job Services, Kate Ellis, attended a consultation session with key stakeholders in Canberra last week as part of series of nationwide stakeholder consultation sessions to help inform how Australia’s future employment services will operate from July 2015. 

 "These consultations will build on our Issues Paper released in December last year and we want to hear back about how we can better meet the needs of job seekers and work in partnership with employers to get even more Australians into jobs,” Minister Ellis said.

Consultation with job seekers, employers and employment service providers to get their ideas on the issues paper has been extended till Friday 22 March 2013.
