The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations manages a range of employment services programs, including Workforce Australia (allocated $1.5 billion in the 2025–26 Federal Budget), Transition to Work ($331 million), Parent Pathways ($99 million) and the Local Jobs Program ($27 million). These programs are delivered through a range of mechanisms including contracted service providers and online services. The ANAO could assess the delivery, program and contract management of these services, examining governance arrangements, risk and value-for-money considerations and performance monitoring/reporting.
