Local Recovery Fund

On this page:

The Request for Proposal for Workforce Australia Local Jobs Local Recovery Fund Activities 2023-2025 has now closed.

Stakeholders are encouraged to work in collaboration with local Employment Facilitators and Local Jobs and Skills Taskforces to develop Local Recovery Fund proposals that best address the priorities identified in the Jobs Plan for their region. Proposed activities should be designed to address employment and training priorities and identify opportunities to better skill individuals to meet local employer demand.

These may be a discrete activity, or a component of a larger activity, or may fill a gap in an existing activity that is directed to meeting identified priorities. Preference may be given to proposals that reflect one or more of the following:

  • feedback from key local stakeholders
  • connect directly with multiple priorities of the Jobs Plan for the Employment Region
  • involve collaboration with key stakeholders and service providers to meet one or more priorities in the Jobs Plan

All proposals must identify an eligible Workforce Australia Employment Services Provider as the Local Recovery Fund Activity Partnering Provider.

Details for approved activities under the Local Recovery Fund are available on individual Employment Region pages.
