The Select Committee is digging deep into the failures of employment services in Australia, leaving no stone unturned. Are reforms and fairer jobseeker assessments on the horizon?

The Select Committee on Workforce Australia Employment Services is delving into the perceived shortcomings plaguing the nation's employment services.

With a particular focus on people with disabilities and First Nations peoples, the Committee is seeking to unearth the root causes behind their purported underservice.

At the forefront of the discussions was the dire need to comprehend the service ecosystem for these marginalised communities.

Julian Hill MP, Chair of the Committee, stressed the importance of comprehensive reforms that take into account their unique circumstances and establish stronger connections between jobseekers and employers.

In addition to the disparities faced by certain communities, the hearing will also shed light on the challenges encountered by individuals seeking self-employment.

By shining a spotlight on these pressing issues, they strive to pave the way for a future where all citizens, regardless of their background or ability, can access fair and inclusive opportunities in the workforce.
