The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) has released an Expression of Interest (EOI) for current and recent users of employment services to join a new Lived Experience Panel.
The Panel will ensure the voices and real-life experiences of people who use employment services inform continuous improvement and long-term reform.
Panel members may be invited to contribute through working groups, surveys, focus groups and other consultation activities. Panel members may receive an incentive payment if they take part in a specific activity.
Participation and any associated incentive payments will not affect any services or payments received by participants. Involvement is voluntary and any personal information collected will be held securely and will not be shared without consent.
Further information, including eligibility and application details, will be available on the Lived Experience Panel page on the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations website https://www.dewr.gov.au/employment-services-reform/employment-services-reform-lived-experience-panel.
Applications close on Wednesday 24 June 2026. People can apply here https://submit.dese.gov.au/jfe/form/SV_d4iCGIgx0Ul01Iq
