JOBS VICTORIA FUND - $20,000 WAGE SUBSIDY

The Jobs Victoria Fund is a wage subsidy formed by the Victorian Government to provide eligible Victorian employers with subsidies of up to $20,000.  The funding is to help meet the costs associated with employing someone for 12 months.  Unlike other past wage subsidies, this subsidy applies to a broad range of Victorian businesses and not-for-profits. The priority groups from which you must employ someone, are those who have been most impacted by the pandemic:

  • Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people
  • jobseekers registered with a Jobs Victoria Mentor service
  • people unemployed for six months or more
  • newly arrived migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds
  • women aged 45 years and over
  • people seeking asylum/refugees
  • people with disability
  • single parents
  • veterans
  • men and people who do not identify as a woman aged 45 years and over
  • young people aged under 25
  • people previously or currently employed under the Working for Victoria initiative.
