Jobs Australia is the national peak body for not-for-profit organisations that assist unemployed people to get and keep jobs. The network helps members to make the most effective use of their resources and promotes the needs of unemployed people for the services and support that will help them to participate fully in society.
We provide an independent voice for members who range from large charitable organisations to small local community-based agencies. Jobs Australia is the largest network of employment and related service providers in Australia and is funded and owned by its members.
Our mission is to contribute to a more equitable Australia by:
- representing community-based employment and related services organisations;
- strengthening the capacity of our members, and of the communities and individuals they serve; and
- promoting better understanding of the needs and interests of disadvantaged unemployed people.
Jobs Australia is committed to:
- supporting program, policy and practice development that results in sustainable employment outcomes for disadvantaged unemployed people who have the ability to work; and
- ensuring the financial viability of our members in delivering contracts for DEWR and other agencies.
