Regions are primarily based on Regional Development Australia boundaries, unless indicated otherwise.

The objectives of the program are to deliver:

• strong connections between regional stakeholders, including employment services providers.
• employment initiatives that meet local needs.
• improved awareness of local labour markets.
• the potential for improved regional employment outcomes.

You are not eligible to apply if you are:

• a Commonwealth, State or Territory government body (including government business enterprises) unless acting as the legal entity for an unincorporated Regional Development Australia committee.
