Current Grant Opportunity View - GO7389

The RJED program seeks to fund 3,000 new jobs over three years to support job seekers currently participating in or are eligible for Remote Employment Services (RES), the New Jobs Program Trial (NJPT), or the CDP Trialling Pathways to Remote Employment (CDP Trials) to move into employment.

There are two streams of funding available, Job Creation – to fund the cost of wages and related entitlements, and the Community Jobs and Business Fund (CJBF) – to provide funding for equipment, operational costs and infrastructure to directly support bringing jobs created under the Job Creation stream into existence.

For the purpose of the RJED program, a new job is:

• a job which does not already exist within an organisation and does not displace an existing employee, or
•  a job created under the NJPT or CDP Trials. 

As job allocations are based on NIAA regions, you will need submit a separate application for each NIAA region where you intend to deliver a job. For example:

• If you apply for jobs located in more than one RES region, but all those jobs are in the same NIAA region, you will only need to submit one application for those jobs.
• If you apply for jobs located in more than one RES region, and those jobs are in different NIAA regions, you will need to submit a separate application for the jobs in each NIAA region.  

Further guidance on the linkages between RES regions and NIAA regions are in the RJED Grant Opportunity Guidelines (RJED GOGs) at Appendix 3.
