Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: When we came into Government, we noticed a significant decline had occurred in front-line, work-focused case management, and took action to ensure we made investments to support more employment-focused activity. This includes investing in 263 new front-line staff in Budget 2019 to help people into work, $150 million in Budget 2020, and $99 million in Budget 2021 invested into employment services and products, and a further $86 million in Budget 2021 to sustain the MSD staff needed to deliver income and case management services. This investment has paid off, with around 31,240 people being placed into employment in the last quarter, the second-highest number since records began, since 1996.
