Submission 7 — Anglicare Australia — Market Readiness

Anglicare Australia’s Jobs Availability Snapshop was first published October 2017. Anglicare Australia’s Jobs Availability Snapshot attempts to show what the job market is really like for those facing the greatest barriers to work – those who may not have qualifications or experience to draw on, those trying to re-enter the workforce after a long break, or those living in regional or remote areas. This and previous reports are available on the Anglicare Australia website: www.anglicare.asn.au

Copyright 2017 Anglicare Australia Anglicare Australia is a network of 36 independent local, state, national and international organisations that are linked to the Anglican Church and are joined by values of service, innovation, leadership and the Christian faith that every individual has intrinsic value. Our services are delivered to one in 26 Australians, in partnership with them, the communities in which they live, and other like-minded organisations in those areas. In all, over 13,000 staff and 9,000 volunteers work with over 940,000 vulnerable Australians every year delivering diverse services, in every region of Australia. Anglicare Australia has as its Mission “to engage with all Australians to create communities of resilience, hope and justice.” Our first strategic goal charges us with reaching this by “influencing social and economic policy across Australia… informed by research and the practical experience of the Anglicare Australia network.”
