New hub highlights jobs on offer

THE federal government has launched a new Jobs Hub to highlight which businesses and organisations have multiple jobs on offer.
A list of a selection of businesses and organisations that are hiring, and how to contact them, can be found at dese.gov.au/covid-19/jobs-hub.
Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business Senator Michaelia Cash said the government was continuing to do everything it could to keep Australians connected to the workforce at this time.
“These are critical jobs that will contribute to keeping the economy going and keeping as many Australians in work as possible.” she said.
While many businesses have been adversely affected by COVID-19 and are reducing their workforces, there are some areas of the economy which have an increased demand for workers, including the health and care sectors, transport and logistics, some areas of retail, mining and mining services, manufacturing, agriculture and government sectors, among others.
Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson said every Australian with a job was an essential worker.
“This is just another way the government is committed to helping Australians through this crisis by connecting those who are looking for work directly with those employers who are experiencing a demand for their services, so we can get more people into the jobs.”
Employers who are hiring and want support to connect with potential candidates can also email the Department of Education, Skills and Employment at [email protected] to be connected directly with businesses reducing their workforces; and the employment services network to source suitable candidates.
