ANAO found DEWR's procurement of $1.9B in employment services under Workforce Australia lacked competitive tension, with many regions having only one provider. DEWR has not established outcome baseline data to assess program effectiveness. Senate Estimates revealed 40% of Workforce Australia job placements last less than 13 weeks — below DEWR's own threshold for successful employment.

$1.9B of Australian taxpayer money was wasted at Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. ANAO found DEWR's procurement of $1.9B in employment services under Workforce Australia lacked competitive tension, with many regions having only one provider. DEWR has not established outcome baseline data to assess program effectiveness. Senate Estimates revealed 40% of Workforce Australia job placements last less than 13 weeks — below DEWR's own threshold for successful employment.
Spread across Australia's 10.8 million households, that's roughly $176 per family — enough in total for funding roughly 16 public hospitals for a full year.
DEWR spent $1.9B on Workforce Australia. 40% of "successful" job placements don't last 13 weeks. ANAO found they can't prove the program works. $1.9B with no outcome baseline. This is where your unemployment budget goes. @reckonerAU
