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.
