Definition
The Employment Fund Details table provides data on Employment Fund (EF) commitment transactions for Workforce Australia Services (Provider Services), Yarrabah Employment Services (Yarrabah Services), Broome Employment Services (Broome Services), and Workforce Australia Online (Online Services) participants.
The Employment Fund is a flexible pool of funds available to providers and the Digital Services Contact Centre (DSCC) to offer support tailored to the needs of participants, employers, and the local labour market. It can be used for the purchase of goods and services that support and assist participants to gain the tools and build the skills and experience they need to get and keep a job.
The PLIDA dataset only includes commitments that have eventuated (claimed, reimbursed, acquitted). Commitment Amounts are GST inclusive.
