The government has a plan to get people under 25 into jobs. It’s called Youth Jobs PaTH.
From 1 April 2017 if you don’t have a job and apply for any kind of dole payment, you can opt in to a three-stage program that involves working for as little as $4 per hour.
STAGE ONE: Prepare.
STAGE TWO: Trial, a.k.a the unpaid(ish) internship program.
