Automotive Workers in Transition Program

In reply to the Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (9 June 2016).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): I have been provided with the following update:

As at 7 July 2016, 1,004 people have registered for the Automotive Workers in Transition Program, with 543 workers having accessed career advice to that date. Some workers choose to access services while still employed and other workers choose to register with the program and access services at a later time.
