NOVA Public Policy was contracted by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) in January 2008 to undertake this project. Job in jeopardy assistance and intermittent support are types of assistance delivered through two DEEWR-funded employment assistance programs: the Disability Employment Network (DEN); and Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS). The project objectives were to: analyse qualitative feedback about the use of intermittent support and job in jeopardy assistance among employment service providers; identify and describe potential best practice use of these supports for people with mental illness; make suggestions about how the implementation of these supports can be improved; and develop communication approaches, including key messages and case studies, to support promotion of these supports for people with mental illness among providers of employment services, employers and employees.

Skills for a sustainable future: analysis of an employer survey conducted in November/December 2009

A number of recent reports have focused on the future skills needs of the green economy. These studies have suggested that there will be an increasing need for new skills relating to sustainability, and for training to supply those skills. However, there are significant gaps in current knowledge about Australian employers’ skills requirements in the context of the transition to a low carbon economy. The Skills for a Sustainable Future survey was developed as a contribution to addressing this shortfall. The survey looked at the impact of environmental and sustainability issues on employers across eight industries selected as likely to be significantly affected by climate change and the green economy, in small, medium and large businesses across Australia. In particular, it focused on skills and training needs generated by these issues. The survey is part of a broader suite of research funded under the Australian Government’s Skills for the Carbon Challenge initiative. This report by DEEWR’s Economic Strategy Group and Climate Change and Green Skills Taskforce, contributes to the building of an evidence base around skills requirements related to environmental and sustainability factors, and the associated education and training system responses.

The purpose of this paper is to promote discussion and consideration of the issues for the review of the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards). The paper also outlines the scope of the review and sets out some key questions to be addressed in determining whether the Standards have been effective in achieving their objectives. In reviewing the effectiveness of the Standards, the review will consider whether the Standards: (1) have provided clarity and specificity for education and training providers and for students with disability and their families in relation to their rights and requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992; (2) have assisted people with disability to access and participate in education and training opportunities on the same basis as those without disability; (3) have assisted to eliminate discrimination (including harassment and victimisation) of people with disability in education and training; (4) have promoted recognition and acceptance in the community of the principle that people with disability have the same fundamental rights as the rest of the community; and (5) are compatible with Australia’s current education and training system.
