Wage subsidies for Jobactive candidates

Under the new ‘employer focused’ Jobactive model there is now a vast pool of job ready candidates who attract a wage subsidy. Gone are the days of wage subsidies being reserved for only the very disadvantaged job-seekers. Today, the majority of Jobactive candidates attract a generous wage subsidy:

• Over 50s ($10,000)
• Youth 15 - 29 ($6,500 - $10,000)
• Indigenous ($6,500)
• Parents returning to work ($6,500) and
• The longer-term unemployed ($6,500)
