Helping Job Seekers Find Work

We'll get to know your goals, talk about what's important to you, and start building a plan — at no cost and no pressure.

You can register online, free-call us on 1800 685 105 between 9am-5pm Monday- Friday, or drop into your nearest office. We'll walk you through the next steps.

Your support is based on what's important to you. It can include help with your resume, interview coaching, training and work experience, as well as practical help with things like transport or workplace adjustments. We'll also check in with you after you start work.

The level of employment assistance available depends on your circumstances. The first step is to contact Centrelink to check whether you're eligible for government-funded employment services through Workforce Australia or Inclusive Employment Australia.

If Centrelink determines you’re eligible, contact us on 1800 685 105 to be connected to your nearest WISE office, or register your interest as a job seeker online.

Alternatively, you can contact your nearest WISE office directly to discuss which employment services is right for you. You can find your nearest WISE office in the ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, and WA.

WISE is one of Australia's leading not-for-profit employment services providers. We specialise in helping people find work, including people living with disability, injury or health conditions, and people experiencing other barriers to employment.

We deliver Australian Government-funded employment programs, including Inclusive Employment Australia and Workforce Australia to help people prepare for, find and keep a job.

Our employment services are free for eligible job seekers and employers. Read more about WISE and our programs and services.

In the case of Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA), Centrelink will conduct an ESAt (Employment Services Assessment) to confirm your eligibility and determine whether you can access IEA. You do not have to be receiving income support or government benefits to be eligible for government-funded employment services through IEA.

In the case of Workforce Australia (generally for people who do not have a disability, injury or health condition), you'll usually need to receive income support (for example, JobSeeker Payment, Parenting Payment, Carer Payment or Youth Allowance) to register with WISE.

However, if you or your partner has been retrenched in the last six months, or you're due to be retrenched within the next three months, you may be eligible for Workforce Australia services through WISE without receiving Centrelink benefits or income support.

Please get in touch with your local WISE office. We'll talk you through the process and answer any questions you have.
