Gain Skills and Experience

Work for the Dole is a work experience program which places jobseekers in activities where they can build new skills, gain experience and confidence to move from welfare to work while giving back to their community.​

Work for the Dole activities can be hosted by not-for-profit organisations/charities, or local, state, or Australian Government organisations or agencies. During the Work for the Dole phase, jobseekers undertake work-like activities at a host organisation or as part of a community-based project.
