Get It: What Workforce Australia Could Mean For You

Описание: Big changes are coming to our frenemy Centrelink, and they’re…. not good. Introducing Workforce Australia, a dystopian new Centrelink program that people on income support are about to be forced into that has echoes of the Robodebt disaster.

A relic of the Morrison Government, Workforce Australia is a reimagination of the brutal JobActive model — the scheme that infamously forced people in poverty to complete exhausting, often futile, and sometimes exploitative job search activities… or have their payments cut off. Here's why we need to be concerned.

Unemployment advocates are calling for 90-day amnesty from payment cut-offs to prevent a huge spike in payment cut-offs, and the new Employment Services Minister to make it happen. But he needs to know it’s a big issue for the public.

Unite with people in poverty and sign the petition to suspend payment cut-offs now by signing the petition - https://www.getup.org.au/suspend-pbas now.
