Bring Back the CES

Join the Campaign to bring back the Commonwealth Employment Service (CES)! 

Sign the petition to help us build support to re-nationalise government employment services. Together, we can bring back the highly successful CES and ensure quality support for job seekers across Australia. 

Back in 1998, the Howard Government made the regrettable decision to privatise the CES. They promised competition and improved services, but the reality has been quite the opposite. A small number of multinational corporations now dominate the employment services sector, reaping massive profits while failing to deliver on their obligations to job seekers. 

Even the Prime Minister himself has recognised the shortcomings of the current system, admitting that it's more about ticking boxes than providing genuine support. It's time for a change. 

Now is the time to take action! Join our campaign and add your voice to the call for a fairer and more effective employment service system. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of job seekers and rebuild a public service that truly serves the needs of the Australian people.
