Support for employers who hire an eligible unemployed Queenslander

Overview

The Back to Work program provides both financial and non-financial support to eligible Queensland employers and jobseekers who identify as belonging to one or more of the program's target groups, which include:

• First Nations peoples
• people with disability
• youth (aged 15 to 24)
• culturally and linguistically diverse peoples

In addition to incentive payments, regional teams can provide advice and support tailored for individual business needs including assistance in supporting their new employee to retain employment.
