It provides funding for regional workshops and support for committees and projects that address issues such as employment, education and training, business opportunities, cultural awareness, capacity building and economic empowerment.
Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities New Initiatives
$1.0 million over four years from 2012-13 will be provided to the Tiwi Land Council to contribute to the implementation of the Rehabilitation Management Plan (RMP) for lands adversely affected by the Tiwi Islands Plantation project in the Northern Territory. This initiative will be funded using the return of an unconditional bank guarantee of $1.0 million held as security for the implementation of the RMP. Current Initiatives
ATTACHMENT 1 announced an expansion of the Working on Country Indigenous Ranger Program in the Northern Territory. The four year $19.1 million expansion, commencing in 2012-13, will deliver 50 more Indigenous ranger jobs and was one of several measures linked to the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory package.
Treasury New Initiatives
ATTACHMENT 1 Remote Jobs and Communities Program ATTACHMENT A to ATTACHMENT 1 This program will replace four major programs in remote Australia: Job Services Australia (JSA), Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program, Disability Employment Services (DES), and the Indigenous Employment Program (IEP). $1.5 billion will be provided over five years from 2013-14 to fund the program. Under the new arrangements, each of 65 remote servicing regions will be serviced by a single provider, and each provider will have a permanent presence in their region. Providers will work in close partnership with communities and they will jointly develop Community Action Plans that will direct effort to meet the needs of individual job seekers and communities. There will be a 'jobs-first' focus which will see job seekers participating in activities in line with their participation requirements and capacities and that are meaningful to them because they provide work-related skills and help build better communities. A Participation Account will provide funds to address vocational and non-vocational barriers that are preventing people from getting work or participating in their communities. A new Remote Youth Leadership and Development Corps will be the flagship program for youth. The Youth Corps will assist young people aged 24 and under to make better transitions to work by providing up to 12,000 places over five years. A Community Development Fund will provide grants for larger projects to buttress community capacity building and economic development. This will open up opportunities for communities to become more involved in services delivered in their communities. This initiative is being implemented by the Departments of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
