RAES helps job seekers in remote regions of Australia and replaces the Community Development Program (CDP).
You can let job seekers in your community know about how RAES can help them access training and development.
RAES includes training and opportunities so participants can learn new skills. Participants will have the opportunity to be part of community projects.
RAES will support approximately 42,000 participants across 1,200 communities in remote employment service regions.
Find out more about RAES and remote job changes on the National Indigenous Australians Agency website.
