Work Search

Last updated on September 20, 2024

Overview

During Stage 1 of the application process, applicants are assessed as to whether they have already completed a satisfactory work search or are required to complete a work search or if they are exempt from this requirement. The intent of this requirement is to encourage labour market attachment and improve employment outcomes for applicants before coming on to income assistance.

This requirement applies to applicants under the Employment and Assistance Regulation and Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Regulation, unless one of the exemptions applies.
