Workforce Australia is the new Australian Government employment service that replaced what was previously known as Jobactive, effective 4th July 2022. 

Workforce Australia is different to jobactive as it offers two levels of support: 

1. Workforce Australia Services – individualised and intensive support, delivered in-person by an employment services provider, with a focus on early intervention and tailored case management.

2. Workforce Australia Online – an online platform designed for job-ready individuals who are able to manage their own path to employment by self-managing their own job search and reporting.

Your questions answered: How do I change my Workforce Australia provider? 

If you’re registered for Workforce Australia Services and your current provider’s services or location aren’t meeting your needs, you can find a new provider.  

If you don’t think you’re getting the right help it’s a good idea to talk to your provider. 

You can also ask them to transfer you to a new provider so that you can choose a new provider yourself, or find one that’s a better match for your needs and location. 

If you’re not comfortable talking to them directly about this you can: 

A) Contact Workorce Australia’s National Customer Service Line 

Call 1800 805 260 9am to 7pm Monday to Friday 

Email [email protected]
