Self-managed employment search vs employment services provider job search

What is a self-managed employment search?

Workforce Australia Online for Individuals is an online employment service. It is an online platform that includes information, tools, dashboards, job boards and other resources to help you get a job.

Online employment services are available for job-ready individuals who can manage their own path to employment. If you are self-managing your job search, you can access a range of tools to assist with your job search efforts.

If you are eligible, you will also have access to a variety of pre-employment pathways:

Employability skills training

This will help you explore career options, build employability skills, digital proficiency and improve your job search skills

Career transition assistance

If you’re 45 or over, this will help you build confidence and skills to become more competitive in your local labour market.

Career coaching

An individual session with a professional career counsellor to help you get back on track.

However, after 12 months in Workforce Australia Online, you will be moved to an employment provider for more intensive and individualised assistance, unless you are in work, training, or a work placement (or have been within the last six months).

Workforce Australia will do regular checks to make sure online employment is the most appropriate service for you. You can choose to transfer to a provider at any time if you need more tailored support.

Workforce Australia Employment Services Provider

If you are on income support and need more individualised and intensive case management support to find a job, you will be referred to a Workforce Australia Employment Services Provider, such as Community Solutions.

Here you will receive high-quality servicing with a focus on early intervention and tailored case management.

You can still access the online platform to do job searches, job matching and report your obligations.
