The JobMaker hiring credit announced in the 2020-21 Budget provides incentives for businesses to employ additional young job seekers.
The JobMaker Hiring Credit will be available to eligible employers over 12 months from 7 October 2020 for each additional new job they create for an eligible employee, with a maximum amount of $10,400 per additional new position created.
Eligible employers who can demonstrate that the new employee will increase overall employee headcount and payroll will receive $200 per week if they hire an eligible employee aged 16–29 years or $100 per week if they hire an eligible employee aged 30–35 years.
To be eligible, the employee will need to have worked for a minimum of 20 hours per week, averaged over a quarter, and received the JobSeeker Payment, Youth Allowance (other) or Parenting Payment for at least one month out of the three months prior to when they are hired.
