Recently, our National Advocacy Service received a call from a distressed single mother who was being told she had to start doing Work for the Dole despite only being on Newstart for one month!
Under the law, you can only be forced onto Work for the Dole after 6 months of being on Newstart.
The Job Agent also made no mention of the fact that Single Parents are entitled to reduced Mutual Obligation requirements under the law.
When will the government ensure that these privately owned employment service providers are actually upholding Social Security Law?
If you have issues with your Employment Service Provider, call us today on (03) 8394 5266
