Definition
A set of indicators that describe the Workforce Australia and ParentsNext by selected cohort tables for the 31 May 2023 report. The report provides data on the participants who were currently in service at the date the data was extracted (31 May 2023) and is disaggregated by participant employment region and cohort.
Workforce Australia commenced operationally on 4 July 2022 and is the front door for Australian Government employment and skills services delivered by the department, helping Australians to find and keep a job, change jobs or create their own job, connecting employers with individuals, and a network of providers to deliver intensive and individualised case management.
Workforce Australia comprises the number of unique participants in Workforce Australia Services, Workforce Australia Online and Transition to Work.
ParentsNext is an employment service program that supports parents and carers who receive Parenting Payment to plan and prepare for work by the time their youngest child starts school. This support includes help with developing skills, training or work experience, help arranging financial support for job preparation skills, training and other work-related expenses or connecting to local support services such as counselling.

Comments
Caveats:
| Confidentiality: | In order to protect individuals' privacy, all cells within the table have been rounded to the nearest 5. This may result in non-additivity for some totals. Zero cells are actual zeros. |
| Caseload Count: | Counts are the number of unique participants (based on jobseeker ID) on the caseload of each program. |
| Cohorts: | Cohorts are not mutually exclusive; an individual may belong to multiple cohorts. Due to the small number of participants belonging to some cohorts within different caseloads, some cohorts are not presented for all programs. |
| Employment Regions: | Employment Regions are based on participant address for all tables. National totals include participants in Norfolk Island and participants whose employment region is not specified. As such, the sum of each employment region will not add up to the total number of unique participants. |
| Workforce Australia: | Workforce Australia caseload (as recorded on the Workforce Australia Overall tab) is the number of unique participants across three programs - Workforce Australia Online, Workforce Australia Services and Transition to Work. Totals from each program will not sum to the overall caseload totals as a participant can be on multiple caseloads at the same time (e.g. pending in Workforce Australia Services and commenced in Workforce Australia Online). |
| Education Groupings: | Due to a number of individuals whose education level is not specified, the sum of the three education groupings may not add up to the total number of participants. |
Data Sources:
Participant data is drawn from a number of sources, mainly:
- Services Australia Registration data: the information captured by Services Australia as part of an individual registering an application for an income support benefit/payment, and
- the Job Seeker Snapshot (JSS), the questionnaire that collects individual's information to understand their personal circumstances, job search confidence, strengths, and any barriers or issues they may have in relation to finding employment.
Age and registration period are updated automatically, while other details may be updated when an individual’s circumstances change. However, some information for some individuals may no longer be current, especially if they have not updated their JSS recently. For participants who are on the caseload, data is accurate as at the reference date for the data extract provided; items that rely on self-disclosure may be understimated.
