(5) How much funding was received for the operation of the Young Workers Advice Service.
(6) In what other ways does the ACT Government support the Young Workers Centre.
Ms Orr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The ACT Government funded a Young Workers Advice Service in the 2018-19 Budget to provide information and advice about workplace rights to young workers, educators and carers of young workers in the ACT. This includes information about pay rates, conditions of employment, leave entitlements, shift work and overtime information, National Employment Standards and awards, work health and safety and workers’ compensation.
The Young Workers Advice Service is being provided through the Young Workers Centre, which is a recent initiative by UnionsACT, but the Centre is a separate initiative.
UnionsACT has been engaged to deliver the Young Worker Advice Service following an open tender process. The relevant contract is published on the ACT Government contracts register at: https://tenders.act.gov.au/ets/contract/view.do?id=95113.
The maximum value and term of the contract is $492,800 (GST inclusive) over four years.
Services provided under the contract include:
• a dedicated website with education materials;
• a telephone advisory service; and
• outreach services at locations and events catered towards young people.
The Service was officially launched on 31 July 2019.
