Employment, Education & Training

Griffith, 2680

ParentsNext helps eligible parents to plan and prepare for employment by the time their children go to school. We work with parents and carers to help them build confidence, set education and employment goals, and develop a pathway to achieve their goals while linking them to services and activities in the local community. ParentsNext is for parents who have a child under 6 years of age, have not had paid work in the last 6 months, and have been receiving the Parenting Payment for the last 6 months.
