Work Choice Official Statistics change of publication schedule: statistical notice

Published 18 July 2019

Background

This statistical notice informs users of our plan to change the Work Choice Official Statistics publication schedule.

In summary:

  • Work Choice Official Statistics are published annually – the last publication was in August 2018
  • referrals to Work Choice ended in November 2017 with the last starts in early 2018
  • to allow 2 years for tracking of participant outcomes, the final Work Choice Official Statistics containing data on total referrals, starts and job outcomes over the life of the whole programme will be published in mid-2020
  • there will be no publication in August 2019

Feedback

In your feedback, include an indication of the:

  • impact level (including nil, minimal and high) you expect this change to have on you or your organisation
  • purpose for which the publication is used

Annex A provides an optional template for you to provide feedback.
