The institutional set-up of Australia's labour market policy and employment services

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Organization	OECD
Abstract	Labour market policy in Australia is primarily the responsibility of the Department of Education, Employment Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and two other departments, one of which manages Centrelink, the benefit administration body. Vocational training is mainly implemented by the states. The different public sector actors co-ordinate their work through "business partnership arrangements" and other policy agreements. DEEWR defines the conditions of contracts with private and not-for-profit employment service providers such as the schedule of payments, and monitors contract compliance and service quality. This helps to ensure consistent national implementation but it also results in administrative cost and complexity. The structure of Disability Employment Services is, following a long process of convergence, now fairly similar. Features promoting good governance include written submissions by stakeholders, including numerous employment service providers, to comment on proposed legislation and the conditions of new contracts. Associations that represent different professions and interest groups also actively analyse and advise on policies, based on the experiences of their member organisations, staff and service users.
