  3. Is there an ‘ideal model’? • Employment services systems are evolutionary and iterative by nature—hence, Building on success • Current system is achieving good outcomes for highly disadvantaged job seekers • Where could we improve? • How do we compete with private recruitment industry and meet employer need AND help highly disadvantaged job seekers?

  4. Supporting the disadvantaged • A growing economy does not solve unemployment • The current caseload is challenging, with a large number of LTU and VLTU • Employment services cannot be all things to all job seekers • Collaboration between services and building local connections must be answer to servicing the highly disadvantaged.

  5. Managing Structural Change • The current system does this well • System’s rapid and effective response to downturns in textile and manufacturing industries typifies this. • Structural Adjustment Packages have allowed JSAto effectively respond to both local and national labour market changes.

  6. Compliance Creep • A priority for 2015 • Advisory Panel on Employment Services Administration and Accountability • Red Tape comes from trying to make a system that meets everyone’s expectations • Lack of oversight, reporting and auditing can be, as in the UK, just as big a problem as an excess.

  7. What’s next? • Using feedback already received to build broad principles • Next round of consultation planned to focus on feedback on a detailed model for employment services • Lots of work to do and stakeholder feedback is what will make the process a success. • 2015EmploymentServices@deewr.gov.au
