Definition
An evidence-based assessment made by Services Australia to ensure that the mutual obligation requirements in a individual's job plan are appropriate to the individual's circumstances and capability to achieve those requirements. The participant may re-complete the job seeker classification instrument (JSCI) or be referred to an employment services assessment (ESAt) at the capability assessment.
Participants will only be required to participate in a capability assessment if:
- they accrue five demerits in a six active month period and have been found capable of meeting their requirements at their capability interview, or
- they have already been found capable of meeting their requirements at a capability interview, and then they have been fast-tracked to the equivalent of five demerits, or
- Following a failure to act on a job referral, or non-attendance or misconduct at a job interview.
If Services Australia finds that the participant is capable of meeting their requirements, then the participant will progress to the penalty zone. If Services Australia finds that the participant is not reasonably capable of meeting their requirements, the participant will have their demerits reset to zero and they will be returned to the green zone.
