Funded Activity Summary

Unemployment in remote Australia: exploring policy reform impacts. This project aims to produce policy-relevant knowledge about the effects of the Australian Government's changing remote employment policies in four remote Indigenous communities. These policies have not yielded positive outcomes to date; more empirical evidence is needed. This project will be the first to explore the lived experiences of employment service practitioners & participants through an innovative policy analysis and ethnography. It will deliver significant benefits, such as elevating marginalised policy subjects' voices/experiences in policy debates, contributing to efforts at improving employment/social outcomes, & speaking to debates about how the state can work effectively with remote Indigenous communities to improve outcomes.
