The Compliance Framework The Job Seeker Compliance Framework is currently applied nationally to all job seekers. Providers are responsible for advising the Department of Human Services when a job seeker does not attend a mutual obligation activity and does not have a reasonable excuse. The current Framework is complex as it provides for a wide range of financial penalties and suspensions with backpay of varying lengths, mandatory reengagement appointments with providers and additional activities. We are proposing that the Job Seeker Compliance Framework be replaced by a more simplified Framework setting out rules that are more immediate and easier for the job seeker and provider to understand. The attached flowchart outlines the steps under the proposed compliance framework.
