SRC partners with businesses across Sunraysia to place job-ready Indigenous employees and provide ongoing post-placement support.

We make hiring easier by assisting employers with:

  • identifying suitable candidates
  • pre-screening applicants
  • arranging interviews
  • providing cultural awareness support if needed
  • ongoing mentoring for both the employer and employee

Local employers who hire eligible Indigenous jobseekers through SRC may be able to access up to $5,000 in employer wage incentives, paid in instalments based on the jobseeker’s continued employment.

Eligibility requirements apply, and our team will guide you through the process.


Employers may also be eligible for further Federal Government incentives when hiring an Indigenous jobseeker into a traineeship or apprenticeship.

Incentives depend on:

  • the qualification level
  • whether the occupation is on the Priority List
  • the jobseeker’s individual circumstances

Because these payments change frequently, SRC will help employers understand their current entitlements and connect them with their AASN provider.

We acknowledge the Latji Latji, Ngintait, Nyeri Nyeri, Barkindji, Mutti Mutti, Wemba Wemba and Wotjobaluk Peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands and waters across our regions, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Supported by the Australian Government through the NIAA, and the Victorian Government through the Learn Local network and ACFE Board.
