Homelessness & Employment Assistance

This research report examines the effectiveness of assessment and job referral procedures for income support recipients experiencing homelessness.

This project was initiated to improve current employment assessment procedures for those experiencing homelessness, with particular emphasis on creating stronger linkages between Centrelink, Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Department of Family and Community Services and the broader SAAP system. As one critical element in the system of employment assistance provided to job seekers, the following research project sought to investigate the completeness of the Job Seeker Classification Instrument (JSCI) for a sample of job seekers experiencing homelessness.
