Job Network, introduced in May 1998, is the Commonwealth Government's primary employment service for job seekers focusing on those most disadvantaged in the labour market. It is now just over five years since Job Network was introduced as a major reform to the way employment services are delivered. This presentation takes stock of what Job Network has achieved in those five years, the lessons learnt from evaluations and how these have been reflected in the Active
Participation Model improvements to Job Network taking place from 1 July 2003. It also includes a consideration of how the Active Participation Model aims to improve outcomes for particular disadvantaged groups and foster social inclusion through economic and social participation.
