Replace CDP with paid award-wage community jobs (rangers, ECEC, aged care, NDIS).
WHY NOW
CDP has been a 10-year failure that deepens distrust; jobs exist but are unfunded.
SUCCESS METRIC
Real wage employment; retention 12-month

LIFE AREAS
Mutual-Obligation Travel Reform
(a) Match JobSeekers to training providers by commute distance with remote-option fallback; (b) auto-issue travel reimbursement when commute exceeds 30 min one-way. Rules engine inside existing JobSearch.
Mental Health First Aid in workplaces
Require employers with 20+ staff to have at least one trained Mental Health First Aider. Like physical first aid kits but for crisis conversations.
Tax incentive for employer flexible start times
Encourage (tax incentive?) employers in CBDs to offer 10am starts, reducing peak demand. Already proven overseas.
APS Cross-Agency Talent Mobility Platform
Single platform across APS where employees opt-in to cross-agency placement, with marketplace view of secondments, automated salary equivalence and default rotation cadence.
