These programs include Workforce Australia, Transition to Work, Training Services, Employability Skills Training, Parent Pathways and Self-Employment Assistance.

• Connecting participants to activities to meet their obligations. 
• Welcoming participants into our programs and explaining the level of support and service we will provide as well as their responsibilities and obligations.
• Supporting participants with job matching, interviews, and resumes.

• Undertaking a range of centralised administrative activities.

Activities in the Centre will include welcoming participants, following up on non-attendance, assisting with resumes, implementing engagement strategies, job matching, rescheduling appointments, live chat, providing interview support, referrals to activities to meet obligations, promoting Self Employment Assistance courses and employer engagement.
