MITSUBISHI WORKERS

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (29 June 2011) (Estimates Committee B).

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport): Employment outcomes for the Mitsubishi Assistance Package are collected by the Commonwealth Government, through the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).

The most recent data (June 2012) on employment outcomes for Mitsubishi Tonsley Workers who were retrenched in 2008 indicated that of the 805 people identified as having registered with former Job Network providers, 660 were placed into employment (81%).

The data records employment outcomes through Job Services Australia Providers and former Job Network Providers. The data does not record employment secured outside the Commonwealth providers, nor does it indicate how many employees retired or are no longer in employment.
