Firstly, I will outline the differences between SPI and General. Any advice on how to avoid Work for the Dole? SPI Participants can be in either Stream A or Stream B, i. Job Search - Setting Job Search Requirements - General What is job search?
A job search is an instance where a job seeker actively contacts a potential employer to apply for a paid job. Fact sheet about Work for the Dole for job seekers.
Work for the Dole is the principal activity for those job seekers under years of age to satisfy their annual activity requirement. If this applies to you, and you are not already in another suitable activity at the start of your jobactive Work for the Dole phase, you will be expected to commence in Work for the Dole. The Work for the Dole community will be wondering what the implications of the budget announcements regarding the new Youth Jobs PaTH and better targeted Work for the Dole will mean in terms of the ongoing demand for places.
From October Stream A job seekers WfD (and AAR) phase will kick in every months instead of every months. When a WFTD Host organisation signs up to take WFTD participants they have to sign a contract and the conditions of that contract are that they must provide months at hours per week or hours per week (all Stream C group schemes are hours per week).
