I propose to take Questions 184 and 191 together.
Details of library and archiving related JobBridge positions in Public Bodies are set out in Table 1.
There are no circumstances in which a jobseeker may commence a JobBridge internship prior to accumulating the 3 months (78 days) out of the previous 6 months in receipt of an eligible payment or signing for credits. However, those 3 months may be accumulated in any combination of eligible payments or credits. This enables the Department to target the JobBridge scheme at those jobseekers that are most likely to fall into longer term unemployment. There are no plans at present to change this provision.
