The Australian Government has released the Employment White Paper Terms of Reference. Individuals and organisations are invited to make a submission on any aspect of the Terms of Reference up until midnight 30 November 2022.
The Employment White Paper (the White Paper) will provide a roadmap for Australia to build a bigger, better-trained and more productive workforce – to boost incomes and living standards and create more opportunities for more Australians. The White Paper will build on the outcomes of the Jobs and Skills Summit and will have an overarching focus on the objectives of full employment and productivity growth for the benefit of all Australians, along with women’s economic participation and equality.
It will explore issues, frameworks and policy approaches relevant to the future of Australia’s labour market over the medium and long term and will take into account a diverse range of perspectives from across Australia, including from representatives of civil society, unions, employers and governments.
Further information on the process and a link to the submissions portal is available on the Treasury website.
