Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers Program
Recognising our ageing population and the value that mature aged workers bring to our workforce, the Australian Government will support up to 10,000 people a year. This is to provide Australians aged 40 or over with guidance on transitioning into new career change, or upskilling advice for their current roles.
This national program, delivered through BUSY At Work, is accessible to both employers and individuals looking for support, career assessment and one-on-one support through a career guidance officer and is offered at no cost. Participants can also access a co-fund amount of up to $2,200 for an eligible training course that supports them to upskill in their career or transition to a new career.
