Remote Jobs and Economic Development Program - Round 4

The RJED Program seeks to fund 6,000 new jobs by 2030 to support job seekers currently participating in or that are eligible for Remote Australia Employment Services (RAES), to move into employment. There are two streams of funding available, Job Creation – to fund the cost of wages and related entitlements, and the Community Jobs and Business Fund (CJBF) – to provide funding for equipment, operational costs and infrastructure to directly support bringing jobs created under the Job Creation stream into existence. For the purposes of the RJED program, a new job is: a job which does not already exist within an organisation and does not displace an existing employee, or a job that is transitioning from a RAES Community Project. As job allocations are based on NIAA regions, you will need submit a separate application for each NIAA region where you intend to deliver a job. For example: If you apply for jobs located in more than one RAES region, but all those jobs are in the same NIAA region, you will only need to submit one application for those jobs. If you apply for jobs located in more than one RAES region, and those jobs are in different NIAA regions, you will need to submit a separate application for the jobs in each NIAA region. Further guidance on the linkages between RAES regions and NIAA regions are in the RJED Grant Opportunity Guidelines (RJED GOGs) at Appendix A.
