The Worker Transition Scheme and rapid response provides a suite of information and support services to workers who may find themselves without work as a result of business closures or redundancy programs.
The department leads the Queensland Government’s response, coordinating rapid response throughout Queensland. We provide assistance under the scheme, including:
- engaging with administrators to offer worker transition scheme assistance
- coordinating assistance from government departments
- monitoring progress on payment of all entitlements
- where possible, assisting retrenched workers on where they might find new employment and advising of government training schemes if new skills are required for their next job
- assisting businesses affected by changes in the supply chain.
