Welcome to the Job Capacity Assessment Programme

The Job Capacity Assessment programme, commenced on 1 July 2006 as part of the Government’s substantial investment in services to help people find and keep paid employment.

Job Capacity Assessments identify a person’s ability to work and any barriers they face to getting a job and will directly connect them to employment support services to assist in addressing those barriers.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) manages the Job Capacity Assessment Programme and is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the providers who conduct the Job Capacity Assessments to ensure continuous improvement.
