Criteria for Report Job Search

Partner's must meet certain criteria to have Report Job Search imposed.

A partner can only have Report Job Search imposed if:

• they have no other current obligation failures (i.e. this is their first obligation failure) and
• they have current work obligations and
• they meet with MSD within the 5-working day notice period and
• the obligation failure is not disputed and overturned and
• Report Job Search is the most appropriate sanction to impose based on their circumstances and
• they are in active case management or have dependent children

Report Job Search cannot be imposed if a partner fails a drug test obligation.

Partners who have failed a drug test obligation may be considered for Money Management if they meet the criteria and it is appropriate for their circumstances.

Report Job Search cannot be imposed on a partner who only has work-preparation or social obligations.

These partners may be considered for Upskilling or Money Management as an alternative to a financial sanction if they meet the criteria and it is appropriate for their circumstances.

A partner may fail more than one obligation on the same day and have multiple failures they need to recomply with.

Report Job Search cannot be imposed if a partner has failed multiple obligations at the same time.

Partners may be considered for Money Management if they meet the criteria and it is appropriate for their circumstances.
