Questions about what you have to do

What do you need to do as a participant?

You could get payments through Services Australia while you’re looking for a job.

But to receive some of these payments, there are certain rules you need to follow.

For example, you must:

• go to meetings with your DES provider
• follow the Job Plan that you and your DES provider agree on.

You must also:

• show that you are looking for a job

• take part in activities to build your skills and experience.

If you don’t follow these rules, Services Australia can stop your payments.

You can learn more about these rules on the Services Australia website.
