Keep Australia Working
Keep Australia Working is the Government's strategy to protect jobs and support business for today, and for the future. The new Keep Australia Working service provides access to information for job seekers, employers and Australians whose employment has been affected by the global recession.
The website allows job seekers to access detailed information about programs and initiatives that can help them find work, or find support if they have lost their job. The information provided on the website can also assist employers to re-train and retain workers in the current economic climate.
Keep Australia Working will also provide advice to mature age workers and job seekers under the Productive Ageing Package announced on 1 February 2010. This service will provide vital training and support for older Australians who want to stay in the workforce.
Telephone support is also available, which can provide personalised assisted service to individuals to guide them through the range of initiatives available. Eligible individuals can also access professional Career Advice. Translation and TTY assistance is also available.
