    Government changes to mutual obligations

     

    Updated: November 19th 2020

    Government changes to mutual obligation requirements

    The Government has announced the next stage in its reintroduction of mutual obligations.

    From 23 November, people in receipt of a JobSeeker payment in all states and territories (except South Australia where exemptions apply between 18 to 29 November) will be required to fulfil mutual obligation requirements.

    Our priority is to protect the wellbeing of our customers and make sure you feel supported.

    At a glance: changes to mutual obligations 

    Current Government policy is that customers receiving JobSeeker payments will be expected to do the following:

    • Participate in appointments with their provider (attendance can be by phone/online unless you opt-in to face-to-face servicing)
    • Review and agree to a Job Plan
    • Conduct eight job searches, monthly
    • Participate in activities (participation can be online with the option to opt-in for face-to-face servicing)
    • Accept suitable paid work.

    Job seekers who fail to fulfil their mutual obligations may face a payment suspension from Services Australia (Centrelink).

    Many employers still have demand for staff. Please check out current opportunities on MAX Connect or speak to your consultant. Your consultant is there to provide support and advice to you during this difficult time.

    Handy appointment and job search tips

     

    Enquiry Information and Link
    Your monthly job search reporting date and number of jobs you need to apply for each month

    To check your jobsearch requirements and reporting date sign in to myGov and check your 'Job Search Effort'.

    You need to meet your target by the required date each month otherwise your payment may be at risk of suspension until you complete your requirement.

    Logging on to MyGov?

    You can sign in to myGov here https://my.gov.au/LoginServices/main/login?execution=e1s1

    If you need myGov help, including forgotten password, you can go to https://my.gov.au/mygov/content/html/help.html#ForgottenPassword

    Changing appointment time

    Please use your online MyGov account to check, arrange or reschedule your appointments with MAX.

To find out what to report, when to report and how to report, visit https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/topics/income-reporting/30331

    Having trouble logging in to MAX Connect

    If this is the first time you’ve logged in to MAXConnect, you will need your username.

    This will be your JSID followed by @max-connect.com.au e.g. 123456789@max-connect.com.au

    The first time you login, please use your date of birth as your password e.g. 01Jan1900, 15Feb1987, 25Dec1991 (remember the first letter of the month is a capital). You will then be able to update your password.

    Access support safely

    To keep our customers and team members safe during the pandemic, we have made more of our services available online so you can access the support you need at a time and place of your choosing.

    We are conducting many appointments online or over the phone. This includes MAX customers supported by sites that may be currently closed due to COVID and want to continue their appointments.

    Attendance can be by phone or online unless you opt-in to face-to-face servicing.

    We have also moved many of our training courses online, so you can learn new skills and get ready for your next career from home.

    More information

    Got a question for us? No problem, you can now go online and use our new virtual assistant MAX to get an immediate answer to many frequently asked questions.

    If you would like to find out more, you can check out our COVID FAQs. Alternatively, visit the Government’s information for job seekers site.
