About Jobs AustraliaJobs Australia is the national peak body for non-profit organisations that assist unemployed people to get and keep jobs. We provide an independent voice for members who range from large charitable organisations to small local community- based agencies. Jobs Australia helps members to make the most effective use of their resources and promotes the needs of unemployed people for the services and support that will help them to participate fully in society.

Jobs Australia is the largest network of employment and related service providers in Australia. We are proud to be fully funded by and accountable to our members.

strAtegic priorities

Strengthening Capacity Jobs Australia provides assistance and resources that enhance the capacity of members to deliver quality services and outcomes, and contributes to the development of the broader non profit sector to enhance its contribution to Australian society. To achieve this, Jobs Australia:

•Facilitates opportunities for members to enhance and improve their work with communities and people who are unemployed or experiencing disadvantage;

•Encourages and assists members to take new directions and adopt innovative approaches to their business, including partnerships and alliances with other members and other parties;

•Supports Indigenous and other member organisations to provide effective training and employment assistance for Indigenous people and communities; and

•Collaborates with others to maintain a vibrant and effective not for profit sector.

Engaging and Supporting Our MembersThrough effective engagement with our membership, Jobs Australia will develop and deliver services relevant to members by:

•Maintaining strong communication with members so that Jobs Australia remains a member driven organisation where members inform the direction of member services; the policy agenda; and the focus of strengthening capacity activity;

•Delivering a responsive range of member services utilising the size of the membership base to leverage cost effective products and services; and

•Encouraging and enabling networking and information exchange among members and other organisations both nationally and internationally.

Leading and Influencing Policy DevelopmentJobs Australia plays a pivotal role in shaping the policy environment as it affects the sector and those whom the sector serves. It achieves this by:

•Undertaking quality policy analysis and research to inform Jobs Australia’s policy positions and pursue policy priorities;

•Communicating, consulting and engaging with government, the media, and others to influence policy; and

•Forging and maintaining strategic alliances with other organisations and sectors.

Key enAbler

Organisational SustainabilityIn order to achieve the strategic priorities, Jobs Australia will continue to ensure the on-going sustainability of the organisation through close attention to:

•Having a secure financial asset base;

•Attracting and retaining the right people;

•Maintaining relevant and effective systems and resources; and

•Providing strong Board governance.

1Jobs Australia Limited Annual Report 2009-10

it is once AgAin A greAt honour

to provide this report to you.

2009-10 has been a challenging year. As a Board, we were aware at each meeting of the member organisations which had decided to close down and therefore relinquish their membership. Some of these have been around since CYSS and SkillShare days, terms which may not even mean much to some people in our membership today, but which represent significant chapters in our combined heritage.

During the year, we allocated many hours to discussion around Board evaluation and development. This process continues, in an attempt tor improve the way we conduct ourselves as a Board and more effectively meet our responsibilities. The Board closely monitored the rollout during the year of the re-engineered Job Services Australia and the transition to the new Disability Employment Services – and Jobs Australia’s role in seeking to influence policy and program design and assisting members to effectively respond to unrelenting change - was closely monitored by the Board. The review and revamp of our Australian Training Network also took up a lot of our energy, in an

effort to ensure a more compliant and focused service.

Last year’s Jobs Australia National Conference in Hobart was a memorable one, notable for its quality of speakers and presenters, but perhaps most remembered for the intensity and warmth of its camaraderie, the support for the Jobs Australia Foundation at the Conference Dinner (who can forget Peter Quarmby’s entertaining spruiking at the auction for the Jobs Australia Foundation) and the magnificent setting of Hobart and Constitution Dock.

Jobs Australia continues to support The Jobs Australia Foundation through

ray South, as Company Secretary, is invaluable for his unfailing and consistent skills and advice on governance and process.

I would like to end by paying a heartfelt tribute to an old warrior and former victorian Board member, Noel Donaghey. Noel passed away during the year as a result of a lengthy period of ill-health. He will be remembered for his tireless service to Australian communities, at local, state and national levels. His good (and sometimes risqué) humour, his love of good company, good food and a good story and that mischievous twinkle in his eye will be remembered and missed.

users), his capacity to maintain strong and incisive engagement in numerous fields of interest and a wide-lens focus not only on employment-related services as an ‘industry’ but as a pivotal service in our society. Without wanting to risk such an analogy, being on a Board which provides support and direction for David is like trying to dance with an octopus, such is the breadth and depth of his reach, his engagement and the extent of his intellectual scope. I for one wouldn’t have it any other way.

David would be the first to admit that he couldn’t begin to cope with the demands of his role without the extraordinary support of the people employed as the Secretariat at Jobs Australia. He will thank them far more eloquently and appropriately than I, but the Board would want it known how highly we value them all and the work they do. I’m sure any member who has had any contact with Jobs Australia would echo these sentiments.

This year we continued to grapple with the effects of the global Financial Crisis on our investment portfolio. A decision was made to forge a new partnership with JB Were, to ensure we received advice which was fully aligned with Jobs Australia’s values and the ethical framework we have adopted for our investments. The Board continues to take a long term view in relation to our investment portfolio and is confident that our new advisers will serve us well.

The Board works hard to grapple with the complexities of an entity such as Jobs Australia. It might not always be a smooth ride, but it is always an interesting one. The capacity of each and every Board member to focus on their responsibilities to Jobs Australia while juggling their own work and personal lives is a testament to their character. I thank Peter Quarmby, Julie graham, Ailsa Paterson, Lin gore, Wally Lyne, ron Miers and Michael Krafft for their contribution, wisdom and support.

contributing a percentage of profits from its insurance service. The Foundation is a separate entity from Jobs Australia and must remain so, without influence or involvement from JA, to maintain its status as a Trust with all associated tax benefits. Jobs Australia remains committed to the Foundation as a means of demonstrating that the non-profit sector can also fund worthwhile and significant programs and activities. I commend the Foundation to members, as a means of engaging with broader activities aimed at making our nation a better and fairer place for all.

During the year Jobs Australia was closely engaged in issues relating to the Australian Taxation office’s focus on non-profits in the employment services field. The ATo asked many members and Jobs Australia itself to justify their PBI status. Jobs Australia’s’s advice to members has, I trust, been of substantial benefit and many members have successfully passed through this process unscathed, albeit somewhat distracted and anxious.

This will be my last report as Chair of Jobs Australia. My own health issues and that of some members of my family have meant that I have not been able to spend as much time on Chair duties as they warrant. My employers have been gracious in allowing me the time to devote to this activity and I thank them for that grace. While David Thompson is a senior officer of the highest quality, he deserves more support from the Chair and I thank him for his tireless energy, his continuous focus on ‘the punters’ (his term for service

In that context, I continue to be amazed and inspired by the commitment and stamina of our members’ people and their ability to deal with and respond to seemingly never-ending waves of changes and challenges. As one of our members observed when reflecting on the 30 year history of their regional NSW organisation, the environment in which they operate is not only challenging, complex, difficult and immensely rewarding – it is also quite brutal at times.

In this Annual report, we have included some excerpts from our book of poetry Which Body Part Do I Need to Sell? which was written by our Policy officer, Kate Connelly, and drawn from research we, with substantial funding from the Australian research Council, have been supporting over the past 3 years – a longitudinal study of 150 Australians on low incomes.

The poems provide a profoundly moving and gritty insight into the lived experience of people doing it very tough in the welfare system. They serve to remind us that each of the many hundreds of thousands of citizens coming through the doors of our member organisations have difficult and often complex lives, that they are living in poverty. As I observe in my afterword in the poetry book, the basic decencies of respectful encounters with institutions (like employment services), which can cost nothing, matter a lot. And it is plain to see that people living in poverty have immense reserves of energy and drive to make a decent living for themselves, and a future for their children, it only they are given the right chances. It is not them or us, they are us.

During the second half of 2009, we monitored and assisted our members and advised the Department on the rollout of the new Job Services Australia model and all the myriad of issues associated with that gargantuan effort. It became apparent to us that the change management process was far more complex than could be effectively implemented in the relevant time-frames. It also became apparent that more thinking needed to be done to develop and implement strategies to assist all of the actors in the system to come to grips with massive change. During the second half of 2009 we worked with the Department and peaks and disability consumer groups on the equally daunting and massive transition to the new Disability Employment Services and became all too familiar with the menu at the Melbourne Airport Hilton conference centre, where seemingly countless meetings on DES transition issues were held right up until last Christmas and then on into 2010.

We continued to worry about:•the thin-ness of resources for Work Experience and its implications for the quality of work experience placements;

•the lack of integration of the world of vocational Education and Training (vET) and employment services and the processes for allocation of new vET places under the Productivity Places Program (which were made even trickier as a consequence of devolution to the States and Territories);

•the many job seekers who transitioned to only very limited assistance in the new system;

•the apparent over-contracting of Job Services Australia sites and its impact on viability;

•the ridiculous situation of specialist service providers being required to provide assistance to all-comers regardless in the name of the level playing field; and

•the future plight of those people who are already long-term unemployed and who are now moving to the back of an ever-growing (even if slowing) unemployment queue.

It is now clear that Australia escaped the depth of recession experienced by many comparable countries and that unemployment levels happily did not reach the 8.5 per cent predicted for 2010-11 by Treasury in June 2009. This has meant that of the order of 300 000 to 400 000 people are not now long term recipients of income support and are in work and not needing our members’ services. This, of course, also means that some of our members are doing it tough in terms of flows of job seekers and the revenues that would have accompanied them.

•developments in tax law and regulatory reform for charities and non-profit organisations, and the (non) outcomes of the Henry review of Taxation and the government’s response to Productivity Commission’s study of the contribution of the non-profit sector in Australia and the steps to be taken to ensure they retain the benefits of concessional tax treatment.

Throughout 2009-10, in keeping with our objectives of establishing linkages with other non-profit organisations in Australia and in other countries, we continued our involvement in the National roundtable of Nonprofit organisations and continued responsibility for the International Secretariat of the Common Wealth Network for People Centred Development (CoMMACT International) which operates from the Jobs Australia office in Melbourne and which is planning an international conference of practitioners of people-centred development in India early in 2011.

We also continued the development of the Jobs Australia Foundation which is now operating its own and unique Indigenous Youth Leadership Development Program and was engaged with 13 young Indigenous people and 7 Indigenous mentors in preparation for a trek of the Kokoda Trail which took place in August this year. We also conducted our first and very successful Indigenous Forces at Work Conference in Alice Springs in June 2010 – the centrepiece of which was 10 inspiring and courageous Indigenous story tellers – telling their stories of their journeys in education and training to employment, about their strong connection to their families and about their struggles along the way.

In keeping with our vision for a fair and equitable Australia, Job Australia is deepening its commitment to and engagement with Indigenous people and is keen to work closely with all of our member organisations not just to close the gap but rather to help Indigenous

•the need to slash red-tape and administrative complexity and distraction and cost to enable more effective employer and job seeker engagement and more outcomes;

•the need for more investment in paid work experience and training for very and extremely long term unemployed people and for much better integration of the government’s vocational education and training effort with the employment services system;

•the need for new, different and more locally tailored and integrated approaches to assist those people living in job-poor regions and those people whose barriers are such that they are unlikely to secure employment even with substantial assistance; and

•the need for governments and others to take a people-centred development approach to addressing entrenched Indigenous disadvantage.

In our relationship with DEEWr, we welcomed the opportunities afforded to us for increasingly open and frank and constructive dialogue on all manner of issues and the coming of ‘glasnost’ and a new willingness to truly collaborate with us on a number of fronts.

We continued to promote and inform debate and dialogue amongst our members about:•their role, identity, place and future as non-profit organisations – not as “providers” in an “industry” but rather as part of a movement of civil society organisations which is indignant about poverty and disadvantage and keen to do something about it;

•their need to be engaged with their counterparts in other parts of the non-profit sector both in Australia and internationally;

•the need to resist convergence with their private sector counterparts, and to do more than deliver government contracts and services; and

While we have confidence in our members and other providers to do a good job, we think the government should invest more resources in paid work experience and training for long-term unemployed people so that they are ready and able to return to work when they can. We also hold to the view that adjustments to the financial arrangements for Job Services Australia are likely to be needed to ensure that providers have adequate resources to provide reasonable quality and decent services for all unemployed people.

During the year we provided a range of services designed to respond to the diverse needs of our more than 270 member organisations, to help them to respond to the changing environment and to continue to operate successfully. our services are well documented in this report and we continue to develop and refine them to meet the needs of our members.

We also provided a range of support and assistance services to those of our members who don’t deliver employment and related services but who deliver a variety of other programs and services to the people and communities they serve. We commissioned a second 10 Forces at Work publication to showcase our members’ ability to leverage their resources to deliver significant added value to the people and communities they serve. We also commissioned a major photojournalistic survey of work in Australia from noted photographer, Rob Walls, to document and celebrate work and its meaning for all of us – the main aim of our members’ collective endeavours. This survey will be completed, in its first stage at least, in 2011.

We continued to argue on a number of policy fronts to sometimes receptive ears in the government about: •the need to better integrate employment and health services for people with mental illness, and employment and housing services for people who are homeless;


We have made good progress towards the achievement of our goals and objectives during 2009-10. We will continue to focus on doing what we need to do to help our members to provide the highest quality services to the citizens and punters they serve.

As I reflect on the past 21 years of service to our members, it strikes me that while the acronyms, logos and program architecture and furniture have constantly changed and been re-invented, the job of our members has remained essentially the same – to engage, enthuse, encourage and empower unemployed people so that they are better included in the social and economic life of their communities and of our country.

our members are collectively motivated by their need and duty to contribute to a fairer and more equal Australia, and are a key part of the broader non-profit and civil society movement which is motivated not by profit but rather by the common good.

We will remain ‘punter-centric’. They are not them – they are us.

people realise their full potential and their aspirations.

During the year we undertook a major review and revamp of our Australian Training Network operations, to respond to a more demanding and complex regulatory environment and to ensure that we are providing high quality professional development, networking and other services to all of our members engaged in delivery of vET to disadvantaged Australians.

Jobs Australia was also a major sponsor of the World Social Enterprise Forum held in Melbourne in october 2009. We have continued to work with other intermediaries such as Social Traders , Social ventures Australia and the Social Innovation Exchange to support and develop social enterprise in Australia.

We will continue to review, develop and adapt all of our services so that we can strengthen the capacity of our member organisations to meet the many challenges they will face in the coming year. In doing so, we are also cognisant of the need to diversify our services to meet the increasingly diverse needs and interests of our member organisations – in employment services, in training, in social enterprise, in green jobs and responses to climate change and a myriad of other ways.

There are a number of people and organisations who have helped us to achieve our goals during the year and whose contributions I have greatly appreciated and wish to acknowledge.

jobs AustrAliA blAnKet cover progrAM

The Blanket Cover Program was initially borne out of the difficulty many non- profits experienced in obtaining insurance cover that was both competitive in price and broad enough to cover the gamut of activities that many organisations undertook to provide benevolent relief to the most disadvantaged in their local communities.

Today, Jobs Australia continues to provide access to a broad and comprehensive suite of insurance policies that are arranged by our broker Aon risk Services, and which allows member activities to be carried out with minimal risk to those involved.

The combined purchasing power of the Jobs Australia network enables Jobs Australia Limited to offer access to the Master Policies contained in its Blanket Cover Program to its members at a fee that is significantly lower than any individual member could obtain if they were to arrange and pay for similar insurance policies. In most cases, the level and scope of the insurance provided under the Blanket Cover Program are also generally far higher or broader than any individual member can obtain.

The suite of covers included in our Blanket Cover Programs is:

•Fire & Perils and Combined risks;

•Public and/or Products Liability;

•Professional Indemnity;

•Directors’ and officers’ Liability;

•Personal Accident for job seekers, committee members and volunteers;

•Personal Accident for employees;

•Fidelity guarantee;

•Transit cover; and

•Motor vehicle –Third Party Property Damage (Contingency Cover).

During the year, and in addition to the provision of insurance cover, Jobs Australia continued to offer members the provision of our highly valued insurance cover for job seekers and unpaid work experience placements, as well as access to the same professional advice of a leading Australian insurance broker free of charge to Jobs Australia insured members.

2010 And beyond

From July 2010, The Blanket Cover Program will be expanded to provide the same affordable, broad based covers under two separate plans:

The CSIr Blanket Cover Insurance Program that has been designed to insure members and member personnel against liabilities which might arise from activities conducted to further the Jobs Australia and member organisation objectives.

The existing Jobs Australia Blanket Cover Program continues to include all related employment activities as well as naming the Department of Employment, Education and Workplace Relations in accordance with both the Jobs Services Australia Employment Services Deed 2009-12, and the Disability Employment Services Deed 2010-12 as necessary in assisting our members meet their contractual obligations.

The expansion of this Program provides an excellent springboard to provide further enhancements, including a website containing insurance related information to our membership and espousing the benefits of both of the above programs as well as a rebranding to bring this 20 year service into 2010 and beyond.

At the conclusion of the funding period, Stronger Smarter Institute (SSI) had utilised $100,000 to provide 20 scholarships for community education and liaison officers to attend the Stronger Smarter Leadership program along with senior educators.

During 2009-10 Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre (AILC) continued to develop the Certificate Iv in Diversity Mentoring (Indigenous) which included preparing the course for accreditation. Following consultation with a range of stakeholders it was also decided to open the course up to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. The second development was the creation of a three day introductory course in Diversity Mentoring. This program was delivered in three states prior to the end of the financial year.

Jobs Australia Foundation expanded it’s efforts into Indigenous leadership development by deciding to deliver an Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP). The IYLP would include a range of experiential learning activities aimed at developing and strengthening the leadership skills and capacity of Indigenous young people and adults.

A key element of the IYLP would be a trek of the Kokoda Track in August 2010.

In January 2010, 24 people were selected to participate in the program, including 14 mentees and 10 mentors. These individuals were selected based upon their demonstrated commitment and capacity to develop their leadership skills.

In February 2010 Amanda Watt resigned from the Foundation and Jodie Belyea assumed the role of Manager of the IYLP. During the period from February to June energy was focused on further developing the program model and content with support from the AILC; preparing funding submissions; and engaging Legitimate Films to document the program and the journey of the participants. of critical importance to the success of this program was the provision of support to participants as they prepared physically and mentally for the four day Pre-Trek leadership Training held in Anglesea in April 2010 and the Kokoda Track in August 2010.

In June 2010 the Jobs Australia Foundation appointed Leah Armstrong as a Director of the Foundation. Leah has recently been appointed as Chief Executive officer of Reconciliation Australia, was previously the Executive Director of Yarnteen and has worked for Social ventures Australia (SvA). Leah is currently a Director on the Board of Indigenous Business Australia, Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council and is an advisor to the National Policy Commission on Indigenous Housing, as well as previously advising on SvA’s Indigenous Community Building Strategy. She was also a Judging Panel Member in 2008 of reconciliation Australia’s National Indigenous governance Awards.

During the 2009-10 financial year $192,650 was raised to support the Jobs Australia Foundation’s IYLP. We would like to acknowledge the work of Amanda Watt in establishing the Indigenous Youth Leadership Program and the financial support and commitment of the following organisations to the IYLP:

•Azure Capital Limited $2,500

•Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs $71,650

•Huawei Technologies Pty Ltd $55,000

•Jobs Australia National Conference raffle $40,000

•Aboriginal Sports Training Academy $7,000

eMployMent services 2009-10

July 2009 saw the commencement of the rudd government’s Job Services Australia (JSA) model of employment services delivery. The Jobs Australia Policy Team monitored the introduction of the new program, supported members through the transition and alerted the Department and Minister to the emerging structural problems. Some of these included the lower than anticipated flow of job seekers, the higher level of suspensions issued to very disadvantaged job seekers (up to 25% of case load for some providers), and the lower than anticipated cash-flow inherent in the payment model.

We reiterated concerns raised prior to the introduction of the model particularly in relation to the inadequate resources

allocated to newly unemployed (Stream 1) and the Work Experience phase. We welcomed the initiatives to better assist newly retrenched workers as a result of the global financial downturn and increasing unemployment rates, and the strategies the department put in place to better coordinate work experience and the provision of further advance payments to assist providers with cash flow.

eMployMent services for people with disAbilities

In late 2009 we helped members preparing for the new model of Disability Employment Services (DES) by providing advice documents and by reviewing 30 members’ tenders. In response to concerns about the disruption the wholesale tender of previous vocational rehabilitation Service (vrS) and Disability Employment Network (DEN)

business the Minister for Employment Participation, Senator the Hon Mark Arbib decided to restrict the request to tender to vrS and DEN Uncapped only, and subjected DEN Uncapped business to an Invitation to Treat process. The cash flow forecasting tools we developed with ACE National proved valuable as members prepared for and transitioned into the new service model. Since commencement of the new DES in March 2010 we have closely monitored the impact of the transition to DES and strengthened our collaboration with DES providers.

wider Activities

To assist members not delivering JSA or DES, we provided detailed advice documents and reviewed draft tenders for Youth Connections, Partnership Brokers, Language, literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP) and the Jobs Fund. Again, Jobs Australia members fared well in the tender processes.

jA-net

In 2009-10 the Policy Team experimented with a new approach to maintaining content for the website with many more articles being designed as page specific topics and updated incrementally. This has resulted in less overall postings to the website yet we continue to post at least 20 new and updated items for each JA Weekly (JAW) Alert which goes to 2000 website users. Postings relating to tender announcements, transition arrangements, training opportunities and conference announcements attracted the highest level of interest. overall traffic to JA-net is approximately 11,000 hits per month and the JAW alert continues to be the trigger for referring visitors to the website.

2009 nAtionAl conference hobArt

We advertised the conference as offering a reprieve from the toil of the last 12 months (and 20+ years!) in the employment services sector and offered a program designed to encourage and sustain our members for the forthcoming challenges.

The program offered 55 sessions from over 60 talented and generous presenters including former High Court judge Michael Kirby AC CMg, the quirky US management consultant David rendall. Leah Armstrong told the Yarnteen story of Indigenous development, and Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick, Australian Human rights Commission spoke on developments in combating age discrimination.

There were sessions for managers and Board members on practical issues affecting non-profits as well as sessions on social enterprise, case management and the potential impact of climate change on jobs.

The conference dinner entertainment from Casey Donovan and band did not detract from the serious fundraising aims of the Jobs Australia Foundation. The event was addressed by Foundation patron olympic gold Medal winning hurdler Kyle vander-Kuyp.

positioning, engAgeMent And representAtion

The Policy Team conducted site visits to 28 member organisations in every State and Territory. We consulted with CEos and managers via forums conducted at the Melbourne Airport, workshops on the Jobs Fund and at other relevant conferences such as the CDEP conference in Darwin, the ACE Conference in Hobart and the NESA conference in Melbourne. We continue to reflect the views of members gained through these forums to government Ministers, departments and the wider employment services sector.

David Thompson and the Policy Team provided active representation of our


•conduct further research into the training needs of employment consultants and advocate for the resources to address the gaps in training and skills levels required to assist increasingly complex job seeker cohorts;

•continue to assist members not delivering JSA to diversify their operations and take advantage of the opportunities that social enterprises can offer in providing employment assistance to the specific groups they assist;

•provide forums for member input into Jobs Australia’s policy positions in advance of the 2012 purchasing process; and

•work to provide assistance to the increasing number of members in the vocational Education and Training (vET) sector to better connect training delivery with employment services.

In 2010-11 the Jobs Australia team will continue to provide the most up to date information and support to enable members to provide the best possible services to the communities they serve.

MeMbership

At 30 June 2010, there were 271 Jobs Australia members. There were 20 new members and 27 exits for the 2009-10 period. given the significant reduction in the number of employment service providers it is not unexpected that membership should drop. The overall result of seven less members than at 30 June 2009 is still a reasonable outcome particularly given that 14 organisations are no longer trading or have lost employment services contracts, four merged with other Jobs Australia Members, two were Work for the Dole sponsors and no longer required membership and the remainder (seven) stated that they no longer required services. our new members have an interest in vocational Education and Training (vET) and access to the Australian Training Network (ATN).

directions for 2010-11

The focus for the year ahead will be to address some of the ongoing challenges for achieving employment outcomes for job seekers, particularly those with lengthy periods of unemployment and limited job related skills.

To that end we will:•undertake a study on the impact of red tape on member’s capacity to spend adequate time assisting job seekers and use the findings as part of our efforts to influence the design of the next iteration of employment services;

•produce a second edition of the 10 Forces at Work publication to highlight the contribution our non-profit members make to local communities and society in general;

WHATBODY PART

DO INEEDTO SELL?

KATE CONNELLY

Rodney

It’s become an obsession with me and

that’s something I’m trying to lose…

‘Cause I think what’s the…

it doesn’t matter,

we’ll all be dead in 20 years,

so yeah.

It’ll all be over anyway,

so why worry?

I think I’ve always been scared of growing old –

not having any support.

Because that’s how we work in society…

If you haven’t got it, you don’t get it,

so…

I’ve worked in aged care

I don’t want to end up like some of the people

I’ve worked with.

‘Cause it can be very undignified.

GROWING OLD POOR

Between 2007 and 2009, Jobs Australia was involved as an industry partner in a project titled ‘150 Low Income

Australians’. The project was funded by the Australian Research Council and involved universities from Victoria,

New South Wales and Queensland. The purpose of this project was to raise the voices of some of the most

marginalized people in Australia. In particular, we wanted to get a more intimate and immediate understanding

about what life is like for people who are unemployed and living in poverty.

What body part do I need to sell? is a collection of poems based on the stories told by the people in this study.

Jobs Australia’s Kate Connelly crafted the poems from interviews she undertook during the project, and the result

is a raw and gritty account of their lives. The book was published with the aim of emphasising the meaning of poverty

experienced by many Australians, and to incite a call to action by our government and policy makers

to create greater opportunities for people to work and live above the poverty line.

Please contact Jobs Australia on 03 9349 3699 to order your copy. All proceeds from

the sale of this book go to the Jobs Australia Foundation.

WHAT BODY PART DO I NEED TO SELL?

I haven’t seen a film for 8-9 years.

It’s $12 –

I just can’t.

I have no social life

unless it’s free.

I can’t afford to go to a café

and drink coffee –

I just can’t.

I tried putting $3 a day into my budget.

I felt a little more human,

existing within society…

I had to stop doing it,

I couldn’t live anymore.

Like being invited out to dinner

or a friend saying,

‘do you want to catch up for a meal?’

I just can’t, no.

I miss it.

our objective

our objective in all our work is to provide high quality, values-based Ir and Hr support for non-profit community organisations, in order to help members and the sector generally achieve their visions.

In 2009-10 we continued to work towards this objective via a range of activities, and in an environment where the community services sector is grappling with some new industrial relations issues.

legislAtive chAnge

A recurring theme for the past four years has been the impact of constant changes to industrial legislation on our members and subscribers, and also on the workload of the Ir team.

once again we were faced with major legislative change, although there is some prospect that the pace of change will begin to slow in 2011. The Fair Work Act replaced the Workplaces Relations Act in two stages from July 2009 and January 2010. At the same time all states except Western Australia referred their Ir powers to the Commonwealth. As a result by January 2010 all our members and subscribers, except some of our members in WA, became covered by the federal

system. A complex series of transitional arrangements means that identifying correct entitlements and obligations is still sometimes difficult. But the new system should settle down over the next few years and become simpler for all employers.

The new legislation has particularly affected our work in relation to awards and unfair dismissals. It has also provided opportunities for new forms of claims, including the equal remuneration test case which commenced in March 2010.

AwArd ModernisAtion

Jobs Australia participated in the award modernisation proceedings in the Australian Industrial relations Commission during 2009. We were particularly active in the proceedings related to the two modern awards most commonly used by our members and subscribers, the Social, Community, Home Care & Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (SCHCADS) and the Labour Market Assistance Industry Award 2010 (LMA). The SCHCADS award reflects the amalgamation of 47 different awards from around the country and will have significant impact on the terms and conditions of employees in that industry. The LMA award is the modern award which replaces the Community, Employment, Training and Support Staff Award (CETSS) previously used in employment services.

our work in these proceedings helped to ensure a reasonably efficient process. But it has been unavoidable that for many organisations there will be changes in conditions, and there is potential for some confusion regarding transitional arrangements.

collective bArgAining

Collective bargaining continues to be an option that is pursued by only a minority of employers in the community sector. Nevertheless, the Ir team assisted a number of organisations to negotiate new agreements during the year. This work was complicated by the changes to legislation during the course of the year, and we were successful in ensuring that all agreements lodged were approved by Fair Work Australia.

sAlAry pAcKAging

Award modernisation heralded major changes to the regulation of employment conditions. In our industry, salary packaging has been an important employee benefit available for Public Benevolent Institutions, including many Jobs Australia members. But an early decision in award modernisation cast doubt on whether our industry awards would retain provisions allowing award rates of pay to be salary sacrificed. The Ir team were able to generate tripartite support from industry stakeholders for retaining award provisions on salary packaging in modern awards. We were successful with Fair Work Australia deciding to maintain salary packaging by including our proposed provision in the two main modern awards for our industry.

worKshops And trAining

To assist members to adjust to the new requirements of the Fair Work Act the Ir team conducted a series of workshops across Australia. In all, 30 workshops were conducted with over 700 participants from about 500 organisations. The feedback was very positive and the workshops successfully raised awareness of key industrial issues for the sector. Several further workshops were presented on request from individual organisations and networks.

A growing part of our work is the delivery of training tailored to the needs of individual organisations. During 2009-10 this included workshops for line managers regarding basic industrial concepts and performance management. The objective of this type of work is to assist members to avoid disputes by ensuring line managers are aware of good practice and the industrial relations implications of different approaches to management.

enquiries And disputes

While a lot of our energy was directed toward helping members move to the new Fair Work system, the Ir team continued to deal with a high volume of enquiries regarding day to day industrial issues. The enquiries handled by the team range from checking basic award entitlements through to advising on managing difficult performance and misconduct issues.

Unfair dismissals continue to be a significant part of our work, and this has increased with the Fair Work Act providing more employees with access to this process. A new provision of the legislation regarding adverse action is also becoming a feature of our disputes workload. In almost all cases we have been able to reach acceptable settlements on behalf of our affected members, allowing them to avoid the disruption and cost of formal proceedings. However we have also arbitrated a small number of cases where necessary.

pAy equity cAse

In March 2010 the Australian Services Union (ASU) lodged an application for Equal remuneration orders for the SCHCADS award. The union is claiming that there has been historical undervaluation of the work performed by social and community services workers, and that this undervaluation arises to a significant extent from the gendered nature of the work. The application seeks to flow on the wage rates that were decided in a similar case in Queensland in 2009. It is expected that the case will not be concluded before the end of 2010.

This application is a major test case and is of direct interest to many of our members and subscribers. It is also attracting the attention of employers and unions in a range of other industries. If the union is successful the case would result in large pay increases for many workers in the sector. Many employers have indicated they agree the work is undervalued, and that this is creating major problems with recruitment and retention of skilled staff. The wage rates are simply uncompetitive. However the main obstacle to paying higher rates is lack of funding.

Jobs Australia is participating in the case as an employer organisation. In light of the funding issues, we were active in working with other community sector organisations through a reference group established by ACoSS as part of their campaign for full funding of wages.


jobs AustrAliA nAtionAl conferenceit has become an annual tradition for colleagues and friends to meet face-to-face at the jobs Australia

conference to celebrate (and commiserate) all things that distinguish this proud network of non-profits who

share the common goal of helping people into jobs. we advertised the conference as offering a reprieve

from the toil of the last 12 months (and 20+ years!) in the employment services jungle and offered a program

designed to encourage and sustain our members for the forthcoming challenges.

the program offered 55 sessions from over 60 talented and generous presenters including quirky us

management consultant david rendall. there was serious fare for managers and board members to return

home to their custodial duties reinvigorated following sessions on practical issues affecting non-profits

including improving boards and maintaining their values and direction.

the emphasis on skills, social enterprise and case management was no accident either and the sessions

were well received. we were fortunate enough to attract parliamentary secretary jason clare and several

key deewr staff from canberra despite an unavoidable clash with the senate

estimates in the same week. the focus on innovation and youth was animated by a lively rap performance

by Andrew greeley and youth support worker joel imber. climate change and its potential impact on jobs

received attention from the vinnie’s gavin dufty and other presenters.

it was an honour to have former high court judge Michael Kirby Ac cMg, grace us as the first speaker

on day 3 when delegates admirably threw off the cobwebs from the previous night’s revelry to occupy their

seats for the 9am roll-call. Mr Kirby reminded us in no uncertain terms of the long haul still ahead for

Australia to become a more equal place for the diversity of people that seek to coexist here. Adherence

to human rights principles and the need for mutual respect between Australians of all origins were later

reinforced when leah Armstrong told the yarnteen story of indigenous development, and commissioner

broderick spoke on developments in combating age and sex discrimination.

those who have been before know that jobs Australia likes to do our conference in style and the 2010 gala

charity dinner was no exception. featuring a sampling of tassie’s finest organic cuisine, the entertainment

from casey donovan and band did not detract from the serious fundraising aims of the jobs Australia

foundation. the event, addressed by patron olympic gold Medal winning hurdler Kyle vander-Kuyp, achieved

its goals and our heart-felt thanks are sent to all the sponsors and prize contributors.

the hotel grand chancellor proved a splendid setting too as the hobart weather pulled out the stops to

provide us with three days of unseasonable clemency. the sight of the sunshine sparkling on the water and

the boats opposite may have tempted more than one delegate to venture out to take in some of tasmania’s

fresh air.

Atn MeMbership services

A series of changes to ATN membership and partnering services represents a return to investment in more and better services for the broader ATN membership (as distinct from the bulk of services going to 30 of the 100 or so members as has occurred for some time). This will enable ATN to revitalise and reinvest in the network of all ATN members by facilitating exchanges of information and holding meetings where topics relating to quality professional practice and training delivery are core to the agenda.

Atn MeMber Meetings And professionAl developMent worKshops

In 2009-10, the ATN has repositioned the suite of professional development and membership services offered to members.

Training and professional development workshops were offered exclusively to ATN and Jobs Australia members in order to address the individual development needs of members more effectively.

Throughout 2009-10 the ATN has conducted:•8 ATN Member Meetings attended by 76 members; and

•8 Professional Development workshops attended by 108 participants.

A highlight in early 2010 was the delivery of the one day workshop ‘Managing At risk Learners in the Classroom’ co-facilitated by Jobs Australia and Crisis Support Services.

Membership income from Jobs Australia ATN-held contracts (not including contracts members have gained in their own right using the ATN scope):

Department of Education, Employment and Workplace relations (DEEWr) PPP: $346,038.00;

NSW Apprenticeship and Traineeship Training Program: $24,483.00;

South Australia user choice arrangements: $5,472.00;

Northern Territory user choice arrangements: 22,500.00; and

QLD Jobseeker PPP: $77,475.00

Total: $475,968.00

one of our students arrived one morning and informed her trainer that she was unable to continue her Certificate III studies with ozChild.

our trainer noticed that she was visibly upset and invited her to discuss her situation further in one of our counselling rooms. She disclosed to the trainer that she was living in her car with her two young children and that she had no other options but to withdraw from training and seek full-time employment. our trainer referred the student to our psychologist for immediate support and counselling. our psychologist was able to source accommodation to enable the student to complete her course and access other support services.

While the student ended up deferring her studies, with continued support from ozChild she now has permanent employment, accommodation and additional support. Happily, she is getting back on her feet.

rto And pArtnering MeMber services the national Audit and registration Agency (nArA) re-registration audit and rectification

process for our Atn has continued throughout 2009-10. this process combined with a review

of Atn operating processes by shea business consulting has identified several areas of risk

regarding Atn Member partnering services.

greater rigour in relation to arrangements with existing partnering members and those

organisations seeking to partner with the Atn in the future will enable us to achieve a more

robust and effective quality assurance system.

the revised partnering service will continue to provide the assistance required to build members’

organisational capabilities to deliver quality training and assessment services to disadvantaged

learner cohorts using the jobs Australia scope of registration. the objective of the Atn partnering

service will be to build an organisation’s capacity to deliver the qualification independent of jobs

Australia. new partnering member organisations will participate in an induction process that

includes a two day site audit.

the Atn has introduced a new risk Management framework to provide a consistent risk

management approach to the delivery of training under the jobs Australia scope of registration.

the framework recognises that each partnering member has a unique and dynamic

business/training environment and mode of operation.

pArtnering services AchieveMents

•Members delivering qualifications under Jobs Australia Partnering arrangements: 30;

•Total learners for the 2009-10 period: 921 across 30 Qualifications at 46 sites;

•An additional 64 participants were approved for the Productivity Places Program (PPP) during

2009-10 bringing the total to 371 participants since the program inception in 2008;

•A further 172 completions occurred during the 2009-10 period, bringing the total to 302

successful completions for the period of 2008 to date; and

•For the QLD PPP Jobseeker program there were 47 participants for the period 2009-10, with

12 completions for this period.


itn conference

In June the Indigenous Training Network facilitated an inaugural conference – Indigenous Forces at Work – which provided an opportunity for ITN members from central, city and remote parts of Australia to come together face-to-face for the first time as an entire network.

over 200 delegates attended from Indigenous organisations, including: Indigenous employment, education and training services; the vocational education, training and industry sectors; government; business and community agencies.

Ten storytellers, together with keynote speakers, related their personal journeys through education, training and early work experiences to sustainable employment. The storytellers were drawn from each State of Australia, from diverse occupations and age groups and generously shared their experiences. All of those who attended were deeply moved by their personal qualities in facing and overcoming barriers and challenges.

The use of Aboriginal storytelling and discussion (Yarn’n circles) as a way of connecting, learning and inspiring action was a key feature of this first conference. Unifying themes emerged in the ways Indigenous people have moved beyond barriers including the value of mentoring, family support, community support and being able to develop a strong work ethic from an early age.

conference outcoMes

The Conference was designed so that employment and training service providers could draw on these shared experiences and stories to decide on new directions for their programs and develop tailored action plans and solutions for their particular clients and communities, rather than developing generic remedies. Conference outcomes included:

A greater understanding of the need for providers of training and employment services to actively work towards understanding Indigenous cultural links;

Improved connections were formed between training and employment providers and Aboriginal organisations;

Increased awareness of the barriers faced by Aboriginal people in attaining training and employment and greater knowledge about how employment and training providers might work together with Aboriginal people to overcome these barriers;

Employment and training providers were inspired to review and develop localised action plans to work with Aboriginal clients;

The importance of storytelling to Aboriginal people as a way of connecting with others, finding commonality and as a tool for learning; and

An increased understanding by delegates that Aboriginal concepts of learning and work are cyclical and lifelong.

An anthology and DvD of the storytellers’ experiences showcasing models of successful practice will be available in a multimedia pack from late october 2010.

itn current projects

In 2010 the ITN also worked in partnership to facilitate Aged Care Coordinators Workshops for the Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) in the Northern Territory. These workshops provided aged care coordinators working in Indigenous aged care facilities with mentoring skills to assist them to employ, work with and retain local Aboriginal staff.

The ITN Database resource Sharing project together with the launch of the ITN website www.jaitn.com.au continued to build the capacity of Indigenous organisations to deliver culturally appropriate accredited and non-accredited training to their communities through collaborative resource sharing between members.

whAt the future holds

The Indigenous Training Network’s priority is to assist Indigenous organisations to increase their capacity to access and or deliver vocational education and training services. The ITN is exploring a number of project for 2010-11 including an ITN annual conference, delivery of Indigenous mentoring courses, establishment of the Communities of Practice and Hub groups, further development of the ITN Database resource Sharing project and general consultancy and member services.

principAl Activities The principal activity of the entity during the financial year has been the provision of services to the network of member organisations throughout Australia, in line with the company’s objectives, as expressed in the Constitution.

No significant changes in the nature of the entity’s activity occurred during the financial year.

operAting results The loss of the entity amounted to $259,851.

Dividends Paid or recommended No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.

review of operAtions The operating loss of $259,851 resulted in part as a consequence of a reduction in the market value of the organisation’s managed investment fund of approximately $168,000 - a direct result of the global Financial Crisis.

The Jobs Australia Board remains committed to these investments as a long term proposition and has taken steps to appoint a new Fund Manager to ensure the Company and its members derive the benefits of prudent and well-governed management and oversight of the investment portfolio.

Further to the impairment of the managed fund, the loss was also attributed to the lengthy and comprehensive audit of the Australian Training Network (ATN). Although the organisation’s other cost centres finished within budgeted forecasts, the re-registration process severely hampered

directors’report

the ATN’s ability to generate income both by limiting the amount of growth and activity and redeploying staffing resources to attend to the audit and its outcomes.

The Budgetary process for the present financial year took into account a review of the Australian Training Network and its priorities for 2010/11 and the Board expects a break even operating result at June 2011.

notes to the finAnciAl stAteMents for the yeAr ended 30 june 2010

the financial statements are for jobs Australia limited as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. jobs Australia is a company limited by guarantee.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBASIS OF PREPARATIONthe financial statements are a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting standards (including Australian Accounting interpretations) and the corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting standards set out accounting policies that the AAsb has concluded would result in a financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

the financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIESA. REVENUErevenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

grant revenue is recognised in the income statement when the entity obtains control of the grant and it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably.

if conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before it is eligible to receive the contribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.

when grant revenue is received whereby the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue is recognised in the balance sheet as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.

interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (gst).

B. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTeach class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values as indicated, less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

propertyincreases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity. decreases that offset previous increases of the same classes of assets are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

freehold land and buildings that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost are valued and recognised at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.

plAnt And equipMentplant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.

the carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. the recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. the expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost are valued and recognised at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.


DEPRECIATIONthe depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

the depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

clAss of fixed Asset depreciAtion rAte buildings 2% Plant and equipment 20-40% Motor vehicle 22.50% freehold improvements 2.50%

the assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Asset classes carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. these gains or losses are included in the income statement. when revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

C. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSinitiAl recognition And MeAsureMentfinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. for financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

clAssificAtion And subsequent MeAsureMentfinance instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. in other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

AMortised cost is cAlculAted As:i. the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;

ii. less principal repayments;

iii. plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and

iv. less any reduction for impairment.

the effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.

(i) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, or where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

(ii) loans and receivables

loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(iii) held-to-maturity investments

held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. they are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. they comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

(v) financial liabilities

non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

fAir vAluefair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

iMpAirMentAt each reporting date, the entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. in the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

34

G. GOODS AND SERVICES TAx (GST)revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of gst, except where the amount of gst incurred is not recoverable from the Australian taxation office. in these circumstances the gst is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of gst.

cash flows are presented in the cashflow statement on a gross basis, except for the gst component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

H. INCOME TAxno provision for income tax has been raised as the entity is exempt from income tax under division 50 of the income tax Assessment Act 1997.

I. PROVISIONSprovisions are recognised when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at reporting date.

J. COMPARATIVE FIGURESwhere required by Accounting standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.

k. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTSthe directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key estiMAtes

impairment

the company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Key judgMents

Available-for-sale investments

the company maintains a portfolio of securities with a carrying value of $1,806,565 at reporting date. certain individual investments have decreased in value recently down by up to 15%. the directors have determined that such investments will be considered impaired and as such have taken up an impairment adjustment in the accounts.

derecognitionfinancial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. the difference between the carrying value of the financial liability, which is extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

D. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETSAt each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. if such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.

where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.

where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation reserve in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation reserve for that same class of asset.

E. EMPLOYEE BENEFITSprovision is made for the entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance sheet date. employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages, salaries and annual leave which may be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value.

contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

F. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTScash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.


L. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCEjobs Australia limited is not dependent on any entity for the majority of its revenue used to operate the business.

M. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODSthe AAsb has issued new, revised and amended standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. the company has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the company is as follows:

AAsb 2008-11: Amendments to Australian Accounting standard – business combinations among not-for-profit entities (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 july 2009). these amendments make the requirements in AAsb 3: business combinations applicable to business combinations among not-for-profit entities (other than restructures of local governments) that are not commonly controlled, and to include specific recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements in AAsb 3 for restructures of local governments.

AAsb 101: presentation of financial statements, AAsb 2007-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from AAsb 101, and AAsb 2007-10: further Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from AAsb 101 (all applicable to annual reporting periods commencing from 1 january 2009). the revised AAsb 101 and amendments supersede the previous AAsb 101 and redefines the composition of financial statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. there will be no measurement or recognition impact on the company. if an entity has made a prior period adjustment or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period will be required.

AAsb 123: borrowing costs and AAsb 2007-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from AAsb 123 [AAsb 1, AAsb 101, AAsb 107, AAsb 111, AAsb 116 and AAsb 138 and interpretations 1 and 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 january 2009). the revised AAsb 123 has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and will therefore require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Management has determined that there will be no effect on the company as a policy of capitalising qualifying borrowing costs has been maintained by the company.

AAsb 2008-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting standards — puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation [AAsb 7, AAsb 101, AAsb 132 and AAsb 139 and interpretation 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 january 2009). these amendments introduce an exception to the definition of a financial liability to classify as equity instruments certain puttable financial instruments and certain other financial instruments that impose an obligation to deliver a pro-rata share of net assets only upon liquidation.

AAsb 2008-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from the Annual improvements project (july 2008) (AAsb 2008-5) and AAsb 2008-6: further Amendments to Australian Accounting

standards arising from the Annual improvements project (july 2008) (AAsb 2008-6) detail numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to accounting standards arising from the iAsb’s annual improvements project. no changes are expected to materially affect the company.

AAsb 2008-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting standards – eligible hedged items [AAsb 139] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 july 2009). this amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation as a hedged item should be applied in particular situations and is not expected to materially affect the company.

AAsb 2008-13: Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from AAsb interpretation 17 — distributions of non-cash Assets to owners [AAsb 5 and AAsb 110] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 july 2009). this amendment requires that non-current assets held for distribution to owners to be measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to distribute.

AAsb interpretation 15: Agreements for the construction of real estate (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 january 2009). under the interpretation, agreements for the construction of real estate shall be accounted for in accordance with AAsb 111 where the agreement meets the definition of ‘construction contract’ per AAsb 111 and when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the work in progress transfer to the buyer continuously as construction progresses. where the recognition requirements in relation to construction are satisfied but the agreement does not meet the definition of ‘construction contract’, revenue is to be accounted for in accordance with AAsb 118. Management does not believe that this will represent a change of policy to the company.

AAsb interpretation 16: hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 october 2008). interpretation 16 applies to entities that hedge foreign currency risk arising from net investments in foreign operations and that want to adopt hedge accounting. the interpretation provides clarifying guidance on several issues in accounting for the hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation and is not expected to impact the company.

AAsb interpretation 17: distributions of non-cash Assets to owners (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 july 2009). this guidance applies prospectively only and clarifies that non-cash dividends payable should be measured at the fair value of the net assets to be distributed where the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets is recognised in profit or loss.

AAsb interpretation 18: transfers of Assets from customers (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 july 2009). this guidance applies prospectively to entities that receive transfers of assets, such as plant and equipment, from their customers in order to connect customers to a network and provide them with access to a supply of goods or services. the interpretation outlines the appropriate accounting treatment in respect of such transfers.

the company does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does not expect them to have any material effect on the company’s financial statements.

A. PROVISIONS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF RECEIVABLEScurrent trade receivables are generally on 30-day terms. these receivables are assessed for recoverability and a provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade receivable is impaired. these amounts have been included in other expense items.

Movement in the provision for impairment of receivables is as follows:

Provision for impairment as at 30 June 2008 (17,841)

Decrease in provision recognised in profit and loss 13,487

B. CREDIT RISk - TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLESthe company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables.

the following table details the company’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt.

the balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

the company does not hold any financial assets whose terms have been renegotiated, but which would otherwise be past due or impaired.

there are no balances within trade receivables that contain assets that are impaired and are past due. it is expected that these balances will be received when due.

ASSET REVALUATIONSthe revaluation of freehold land and building were based on the assessment of their current market value. the independent revaluation on 30 june 2008 was carried out by charter Keck cramer.

the valuation was made in accordance with a regular policy to revalue land and buildings every three years.

At 30 june 2010 the directors reviewed the key assumptions made by the valuers at 30 june 2008. they have concluded that these assumptions remain materially unchanged, and are satisfied that recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying amount of land and buildings at 30 june 2010.

FINANCIAL RISk MANAGEMENT POLICIESconsisting of senior committee members, the finance committee’s

overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in

meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse

effects on financial performance. risk management policies are

approved and reviewed by the finance committee on a regular basis.

these include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

SPECIFIC FINANCIAL RISk ExPOSURES AND MANAGEMENTthe main risks the company is exposed to through its financial

instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk relating to

interest rate risk and equity price risk.

A. CREDIT RISkcredit risK exposures

the maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial

assets at the end of the reporting period is equivalent to the carrying

value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions)

as presented in the statement of financial position.

credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial

institutions is managed by the finance committee in accordance with

approved board policy. such policy requires that surplus funds are only

invested with counterparties with a standard and poor’s counterparty

credit ratings.

B. LIQUIDITY RISkliquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. the company manages this risk through the following mechanisms: -preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; -maintaining a reputable credit profile; -managing credit risk related to financial assets; -only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and -comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

the tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. the timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

C. MARkET RISk(i) interest rAte risKexposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. the company is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.

(ii) price risKprice risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices of securities held.

the company is exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer terms. such risk is managed through diversification of investments across industries and geographical locations.


NOTE 15. FINANCIAL RISk MANAGEMENT CONTINUED SENSITIVITY ANALYSISthe following table illustrates sensitivities to the company’s exposures to changes in interest rates and equity prices. the table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. these sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of

NET FAIR VALUESfAir vAlue estiMAtionthe fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the balance sheet. fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgment and the assumptions have been detailed below. where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. in this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. where securities are unlisted and no market quotes are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.

differences between fair values and carrying values of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the company. Most of these instruments which are carried at amortised cost are to be held until maturity and therefore the net fair value figures calculated bear little relevance to the company.

the fair values disclosed in the above table have been determined based on the following methodologies:

(i) cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are short-term instruments in nature whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value. trade and other payables exclude amounts provided for relating to annual leave and deferred income which is not considered a financial instrument.

(ii) for listed available-for-sale and held-for-trading financial assets, closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period are used. in determining the fair values of the unlisted available-for-sale financial assets, the directors have used inputs that are observable either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

42

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUEthe financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

the fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels: -quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); -inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and -inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

independent Audit report

to the MeMbers of jobs AustrAliA liMited

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Jobs Australia Limited (the company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2010 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the director’s declaration.

the responsibility of the directors for the finAnciAl report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate policies: and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An Audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the ‘Corporations Act 2001’.

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion, the financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jobs Australia Limited as of 30 June 2010, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the ‘Corporations Act 2001’ and the Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations).
